The original version of this coin box was invented by Al Baker and Nate Liepzig c. 1934 and called the Al ‘N’ Nate Coin Box. This was the original effect: Five half dollars are placed in a metal cup. Cup is placed on a spread out handkerchief. Handkerchief is picked up by four corners, held …
(Notice I used a Rings ‘n’ Things liquor bottle to pour the liquid just because it made more sense in the Porcupine to do so, but you could use any container. Does not come with the Bottle or the Top Hat, but since they are ungimmicked replacement is trivial.) The method for this beautiful version …
A fine example of the P&L Spirit Bag with P&L Hallmark. This is such a cute little bag and in most circumstances this would be the one I would use. The final photos show the difference in size with the standard size bag. If you need to switch something cleanly, smoothly and quietly either bag …
_EF The title “Secrets – Malini, Leipzig, Vernon, Jarrow, …” suggests a lot, but these are merely the interpretations and versions of U. F.

P&L created two versions of this aptly named Perfect Card Box: the Standard Model c. 1921 and the Thin Model c. 1932. It is based on the New Brass Card Box design from August Roterberg’s amazingly detailed and advanced book New Era Card Tricks c. 1897. They are both still pretty “thin” because the Standard is …
P&L created this wonderful version of the classic Rice Bowls c. 1920. It was a big step forward because instead of the old celluloid disc method, these relied upon special bowls which were made perfectly. In fact, they are closer to Lota Bowls than Rice Bowls with nothing added or taken away. These are certainly …
Most people know this as DeLand’s Automatic Deck because that is what it has been called since 1919 when S.S Adams began to sell it. I used to perform with this deck all the time as a teenager and loved it! _EF The “Automatic Deck” contains a secret marking system, giving you the ability to …
