oldveedubs Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 POSTCARDSOk, so let's sum up what we know about the vanishing items. Vanishing Statue of Liberty Performed by David Copperfield in 1983, broadcasted on live television. Created by Jim Steinmeyer. Trick: A rotating platform, that discreetly rotates while David is talking. Vanishing Bird Cage First designed by Bautier de Kolta. Used by Carl Hertz, Harry Blackstone Sr. and John Mulholland. Trick: A collapsible birdcage that remains rigid in the magician's hands. When it is being inspected, the magician keeps his hands on it. Vanishing Elephant Performed by Houdini in 1918. Used the brightly lit Hippodrome Theater. I'm not sure about the vanishing train or elephant. But something interesting to note, a majority of these tricks were designed by Jim Steinmeyer, who developed tricks for a lot of famous magicians. Could he be a connection? Steinmeyer makes sense...he designed tricks for Henning so Houdini would be out. The last two must involve steinmeyer seeing as the other three do.

Chrisnone Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I was thinking we should flip over the 2,6,3 (there are two 6's) That would leave use with 9,10,7 which could be the last 4 of a number. But we would be missing an area code.. if u count from left to right the carts 2 - 6 - 3 have the same sound when u click on them Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/14/#findComment-588224046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cousinIT Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Back to Cups and Balls, then. Here's an interesting probably red herring: A Google search for blackstone shows that there is a book publisher by that same name. One of their offerings on Amazon.com is a mystery titled "The Magician". Could there, maybe, be a book published by Blackstone press that deals with the Cups and Balls trick? Take a look at THIS book list: http://www.black-stone.net/books/ It's primarily Muslim writings.

SuperRob Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 if u count from left to right the carts 2 - 6 - 3 have the same sound when u click on them I don't think the sounds are a clue. I have a 2 and a 6 that match, and a 6 and a 3 that match, but none where all three match.

Horangi Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Three card monte is that game you see on the streets where the dealer shuffles 3 cards and you try to find a specific card, not sure about 7 card monte but calling card may be the one your trying to find? Also, 263, 269, and 6037(counting 10 as a zero) are all prime numbers, hm :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/529592-puzzle-box-2/page/14/#findComment-588224067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericquip Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 For 7 Card Monte...Was the "Black=A Red=N" a part of this puzzle? I was wondering if "A" was area code and "N" was number? Or maybe something else, as that theory hasn't been panning out...

SuperRob Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 From unfiction ... You can flip each card by clicking on one of its pips. Now, imagine each card as a 9x9 grid, numbered 1 through 9. The active pips will be 877-4786. The skywriting clue ("236-") goes between, giving us a number to call: 1-877-236-4786. Loki has a message there, asking us what disappeared on Halloween, 1926, in Room 401, Detroit. That is when and where Houdini died, so the answer is HOUDINI.
