Franklin's Key

Used in Philadelphia's Franklin Square Park as part of the park's lighting ceromony.

Reknowned Ben Franklin 1st person interpreter Ralph Archbold
used this key as a "wand" to light the park's 1,000 ball lights.

Created for a "007" themed Nivea event at the Loews Philadelphia hotel, this inexpensive prop made a tape recorder look as though it was self destructing. The trick was that the recorder would be placed on the prop by a "secret agent" and the self destruct smoke was to be a suprise during the presentation.

Used in A Night of Terror Two, The Torture Table gave the illusion
an actress was being tortured and dismembered.

The table was constructed out of wood. It had the ability to pivot in order to rig the actress into the table in a lay down postion. Two holes; one for her arm, another for her leg allowed the attachment of fake limbs. Tubes attached to the limbs delivered blood from squeeze bottles. A 2 person crew operated the table hidden in the back.
