Temporal Transmigration (TATT)

THE ATOMIC TEMPORAL TRANSMIGRATOR (or TATT for short!!)

THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST ITEMS WE PUT OUT IN 1982 WHEN WE STARTED OUT AS M.A.C. MAGIC AND WAS TAKEN OFF THE MARKET IN 1995.

An 'off beat' presentation by Maurice Gidney (now deceased)
The apparatus and routines supplied, although complete in themselves, can in fact be extended to form the basis of a variety of effects and presentations limited only by the ability and ingenuity of the individual performer.

EFFECT:
A length of rope is passed, via holes at each end, through a narrow rectangular box. (The ATOMIC TEMPORAL TRANSMIGRATOR). The ends of the rope can be seen hanging from the sides of the box whilst the centre portion is visible through a cut out panel in the front facing the audience. By the side of the cut out panel is a calibrated scale with a movable pointer.
The rope is cut in the centre and the cut ends tied together. The resultant knot is visible through the cut out.

Having indulged in pseudo scientific spiel concerning modern research into time travel the Performer sets the dial to 'Backward' and covers the apparatus with a square of material (ENERGY REFLECTOR). A few seconds later the cloth is whisked away again and WHAM!!! THE KNOT HAS VANISHED!!! Time has been put back to a few minutes before and the rope restored!!! The dial is then re-setting to 'forward' and the process reversed ... the knot re-appears.

By this time, however, the audience will have noticed suspicious moves on the part of the Performer. To disprove them, however, two members of the audience are invited on stage to hold the ends of the rope, thus making the suspected subterfuge impossible. The Performer then achieves the same results once again arousing the audience's suspicions by an apparently different 'fiddle'.

When the situation has been 'played-up' sufficiently, according to the Performer's discretion, the climax is reached when it is finally disclosed that the rope has in fact, been fully restored and can be examined!!!

There are several possible variations of presentation according to the style and ability of the Performer. The effect can be played 'straight' with pseudo-scientific paper if desired, whilst in the hands of the comedy Performer there is ample scope for a feast of fun with a grand laughter and applause-pulling climax. Children will vociferously respond to the two 'sucker' moves, and to them the apparatus can simply be described as a 'TIME MACHINE' or merely a 'MAGIC MENDER'.

THE APPARATUS SUPPLIED consists of: -

A. The 'TRANSMIGRATOR' itself. Examination will show that this is a narrow rectangular box with a small hole at each end. The 'front' and 'back' of the box are identical, both having a scale and movable pointer by the side of a cut out panel.

B. A length of soft Magician's rope.

C. A supply of 12 "gimmicks" which once they run out can be made yourself or buy on here in "New Accessories".

D. A square of material (energy reflector).

This is a really great prop with a lot of possibilities and a LONG routine.
