One of my favorite Jack Hughes items is Penetra-Spheres that was invented c. 1937 shortly after Jack invented his tray version of Coins In Glass. Penetra-spheres was licensed by Abbott’s for sale in the USA and was sold for the first time in c. 1947 under the name Hole in One which is the name …

Ed acquired this from the Bert Adams Estate (Boston) sometime in the 1940’s to early 1950’s. It has the look and feel of a much earlier piece (obviously not a Magic Shop item), but I’ve not found it described in any of the standard texts I’ve consulted. _EF A large velvet covered board (approximately 17 …
If you are going to use Copenetro you’re best off with an original and early Kline versions like this. When you put them side to side you can tell the difference quite easily.

_EF Having spent more than forty-five years as a professional entertainer, Mr. Collins presents more than fifty tricks which he either originated or improved so extensively as to convert them into virtually new feats. Tricks with cards, coins, and handkerchiefs, pocket tricks, mental tricks, miscellaneous tricks, tricks for children, a stage illusion and ever several …
This is a beautiful and almost certainly one-off version of Englishman Harry Leat’s wonderful Run Rabbit Run. I am not sure of the builder, however, there is a chance it was made or commissioned by Harry Leat himself. I came to this conclusion because Harry talks about his good friend Maurice Garland (another English magician) …
If you are going to use Copenetro you’re better off with an early original if you can. When you put them side to side you can tell the difference quite easily. The later ones are better than many copies, but in the early Kline ones the base is clearly, and deceptively, smaller in size especially …
