Salem's Lottery

If you'll look waaaaaaaa-aaaaay back here, you'll find me referencing a little effect entitled, "Animentalism" (created by a gentleman from Singapore named Tan Choon Tee) that was published in The Linking Ring quite some years back.

That effect sparked an idea in my head pertaining to the Salem Witch trials........and using (potentially) the names of women from that century.

Well.......after MUCH workshopping of this effect......it's really coming to fruition: it'll be called, "Salem's Lottery" and will be produced/released by my little company I'm starting. I've got a massive pile of little wooden tiles all cut up real proper-like.....check back here for more later!

Animentalism

Found a neat little trick in a 1999 issue of The Linking Ring entitled, Animentalism........not to be confused with Danny Archer's "Animental" (completely different effect). I'd been looking for a reason to buy a pack of blank-faced cards.......just the reason I needed! Easy to create and easy to perform. The effect was created by a gentleman from Singapore named Tan Choon Tee. .....could easily get away with just using index cards (if needed).
