Magic Light

Magic Light

Sketches for a magician's trick to make a light go on without being wired to anything. I was quite delighted with the whole idea of electromagnetic coils and such things when I was 12 (give or take a couple of years). I made any number of electromagnets and buzzers attached to dry-cell batteries and/or to an old variable transformer gleaned from a Lionel electric train set. Truth to tell, I was never much put out to discover later on that there are better and less cumbersome ways to achieve the magic light bulb effect!
