This effect was invented by Joseph Ovette and is described in his book Tricks and Illusionettes (D. Robbins, 1944). This prop, in a much simpler style, has also been recreated before by Bill Tresslar as the Color Abacaus.
But the version that Louis Paul custom created for me blows away previous versions. As usual Louis has built a perfect prop that is beautiful and functional and spares no detail in the manufacture. This unit comes with multiple spare beads which are very easy to switch out if you wanted a different color to force.
The problem I have with this prop is coming up with a routine that does justice to Louis’ creative work. Hopefully my Speed Demo will give you an idea of the effect I am shooting for, though unfortunately I really need three spectators to demonstrate it fully.
Whatever routine you decide to use this prop I have no doubt you will love it 🙂
