Spot the SpotBrick TilleyAny red showing loses! The spot game is the black widow of the midway because an untrained player has little chance to cover the red spot using the five zinc plates supplied. Rules: the player must drop the plates one at a time from a distance of at least an inch attempting to cover the entire red area. He is later allowed to drop fewer plates bettering his chances of winning. The spot game is seldom seen these days because law enforcement consider it to be beyond the possibility of chance.

We located an ideal version at a local 99¢ store, it's a small figurine of a cherub playing on a flute. EFFECT: A small doll is covered with a cloth.

Bobby Bernard's Magic ClinicBobby BernardThis is not a lecture - it is a clinic. This is one of the first magic videos Martin Breese released. It was produced by Duncan Trillo and features Bobby Bernard teaching a number of great close-up moves and effects. Compared to today's slick videos this is a minimalistic low budget production. Occasionally you can even hear cars and traffic noises in the background. But what it lacks in slickness it has in spades in terms of teaching value for the magician. Bobby Bernard was a legendary magician and as this video demonstrates also a great teacher. I could watch him all day.
