Secrets of the Universe Revealed Through Magic — this is the current format of the listings of possible magical apparatus & skills you will need to complete the Magic Effects Course.
Don’t memorize the list — it’s by no means finalized, and will undergo many changes throughout the evaluation period, which is now through Labor Day. On Labor Day, at the Labor Day Convention, I will lay it out in sequence, and some of the effects listed below may not make the Final Cut.

Please note that the Seance Room tools listed above are merely working tools for the active ghost investigator using the latest ghost investigating prognosticator ever developed, to insure objective reportage and evaluation, and can be used for stage presentations, lectures and demonstrations on how seances work and how they can be faked and how to tell if they are real or not in general, using this equipment for these purposes.
In short, the stuff listed in the “Seance Room Instruments” above will actually do the job, if you know how to make them work for you. There is a Weird Science behind their success, and it requires that you wrap your head around Quantum Science to get it, really GET it.
