Rib - Block II Made at the House Of Enchantment by Jay Leslie
Rib Block, Mark Jacobs - Sold to us as an exclusive.

Great news! Rib Block II is now availible and better then the original wood version. A fantastic effect that asks to be repaetad. Originally manufactured by John Synider, in the 50s, then James Swoger till the 80s. I'm only the third person to make this item in 60 years. Both previous models had wooden blocks. Only a few boxes were made from Acrilic by Jim Swoger. In the tradition of the House OF Enchantment improvements are incorporated. Rib Block II is made entirely of brightly colored, layered plastics. The dice spots are also plastic so in years to come they can never tarnish or rust. The colors will stay bright for hundreds of years becaue there is no paint. With our new styling, the parts look great up c;ose and are very visable from a distance. The die is three and a half inches square. A magic wand from your collection will be required to perform Rib Block II. Use any regular size wand.

Effect:

One of the "cleanest" penetrations ever! A three and a half inch die is examined along with a corresponding red and black open-bodied box. A length of ribbon is handed to a volunteer to pull on, proving that it is solid. The ribbon is threaded through both sided of the box demonstraiting it passes through. The ribbon is removed. The die is set in the box so the hole lines up with both holes in the box. A magic wand, not provided, is introduced. The ribbon is wrapped around the tip of the wand. The wand tip & ribbon is pushed clean through the die and out the second hole. The ribbon is pulled to its center and the wand is removed. Hocus Pocus!!! the die is removed from the box apparently melting through the ribbon. The ribbon is seen passing through both holes in the box. seen passing through both holes in the box.

• No wax is used
• No extra pieces of ribbon
• The die is completely solid
• Can be seen from the stage
• The box and die can be examined both before and after
•The wand passes completely through the die as the ribbon is being threaded.
• You can repeat Rib Block II with no fear of detection

The effect created, in addition to the trick itself, is a real illusion. Rib Block II is one of those mysteries that rises above the title of trick. This will be a collectors item. Correction, This is a collectors item. Sadly, like the original Rib Block, there is a limited supply. The dots on the dice are an intrical part of the effect and I got them from Jim Swogers estate. There are only so many dice I can make. When the dots run out so probably will the availability too. In the meantime be happy, there's enough to go around if you act fast. These are made by special order unless we find a few hidden in the shelves. Email for availibility, please. jleslie@quik.com (use "Magic" in the subject line) Thank you.
