My Levitating Marbles
These kinetic sculptures are my interpretation of the famous ``levitating ball'' illusion used by the Great Houdini, the master magician of a century ago. It is said he used it to distract his audience while performing some of his most spectacular acts.
I form the spirals out of steel and have them painted with high-quality automobile paint for long life. And I enjoy making each unique marble in my glass-blowing studio.
Whether you hang it indoors or out, the illusion is as compelling today as it was a century ago.
I create the frames in seven colors; the marbles im many colors. Below are photos of the seven different frame colors along with the most popular marbles which accompany that frame.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these, contact one of the stores that carry my work. Of course, not all stores carry all of the combinations. But you can tell them what you want and they can get it for you.
They are also available at my shows.
If you have any questions about these interesting and unusual items, you can email me.
