In my "In Box"

Hi Tom,

On your blog, I noticed a post labeled "Cribs" there was a orange prop in front of the topsy turvy bottles. I have that trick and it was the very 1st trick I received! What is it called? I never saw another one! Do you know the history about it?

Thanks,

Tom OBrien



Yo Tom,

This was one of my first tricks as well! I bought it around 1974 in Paris where I was attending the American School of Paris. I think I was in the third grade. It was a cut and restored string trick. I'm not sure who the manufacturer was. If I had to guess, I might say Tenyo. At any rate, as a kid I thought it was a nifty little trick.
