At the Sci-Fi & Fine Art sections of my new online bookstore.

Here are a few more choice goodies from my goodies factory:

DONNER PARTY RELIC — $35

Not a reproduction, 100% Guaranteed authentic original Donner Family Relic. The Donner Party Tragedy at Donner Pass is one of the three most famous events in California History, along with the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire, and the 1849 California Gold Rush.

This is offered by a Donner family descendant, and is part of a very limited number of found items, all dating from about 1830 to 1847. It was in the winter of 1846/47 that the Donner Party experienced the tragedy, as retold in vivid detail in the book written by one of the survivors, a daughter of George Donner, the leader of the party which ended in disaster.

ANCIENT NEOLITHIC STONE-AGE BEAD — $125

Not a reproduction, this 100% guaranteed authentic ancient bead dates anywhere between 8,000 B.C. and 1200 B.C., and was laboriously drilled from both ends and ground on stone with sand and silica carbide, to cut and polish the stone. Continue reading

ZOOMSHOP – Medicine Wheel Chokers

Museum Reconstruction of a 4500 B.C. Sumerian Lapis necklace.

The necklace in the photo above looks deceptively easy to acquire, but it isn’t. You can’t buy this necklace at any price. It is a “School Artifact”.

Relics like these can be reconstructed from ancient materials. In this case, note that the maker of all the lapis beads is the same, from the same workshop. This is not the case with beads acquired through the ordinary marketplace. Matched sets of ancient beads is exceedingly rare. Continue reading

Meaning of Wrist Malas

x
Heart Mala can be worn by healers as well as worn during prayer and movements.

BLACK — Black Wrist Mala Bracelets are by far the most popular of the low-priced jewelry. Black is the absence of color, but it also stands for all the area of the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum that lies outside the tiny realm of humanly visible light. The Black Mala is called the Mystery Mala. I’ll show you some examples … Continue reading

ZOOMSHOP – Tribal Copper Earrings

x
Wooden beads are cheap and make experimentation fun.
  1. If you happen to have a roll of .16 gauge copper wire handy, you’ll appreciate this beginner’s project, the Bead Curtain. Make some WOUND WIRE RONDELS on your large miniature screwdriver, and be sure to cut them FLUSH ON BOTH ENDS.
  2. Cut some 3″ long .16 gauge CORE WIRES, and be sure to FLUSH CUT ON BOTH ENDS.
  3. Now make a GENEROUS loop on one end of your core wire, and bring the end ALL THE WAY to close it against itself.
  4. TUG BACK on the main body of the core wire so that the loop is a perfect lollipop shape.
  5. Drop one or two WIRE RONDELS onto the core wire, then your wooden bead or beads, then one or two more wire rondels. If you used one, then use one again. If you used two, then use two to match on the other side of the main bead, as show in photo. You can combine any colors, shapes and sizes of wooden beads you want to have on there, the crazier and more random, the better. Make sure the beads don’t weigh too much, because the earring mustn’t be too heavy to actually wear.
  6. Now make a CLOSING LOOP on the other end of the core wire, and you have a complete ELEMENT, which can be combined with other ELEMENT DROPS, as shown in photo.

  7. You can open the loop TO THE SIDE to preserve the loop’s perfect lollipop shape, and slip it onto another element.
  8. Make the HOOP, the main body of the earring, by making a LOLLIPOP LOOP at one end of a 3″ long .16 gauge wire, FLUSH CUT ON BOTH ENDS, making sure to roll the closing loop over the first loop, as shown in photo.
  9. Feed a WOODEN SEPARATOR BEAD of whatever size you like onto the HOOP, then add one wire drop element, then another separator bead, another element, another separator bead, another element, another separator bead, until you have THREE WIRE DROPS and FOUR WOODEN BEAD SEPARATORS on your HOOP.
  10. Now make two .20 gauge ancient-style ear wires as shown, and attach them by opening the .16 gauge loops, ALWAYS TO THE SIDE. Never open a loop by making it bigger. Continue reading

Time Travel with Ancient Beads

Be free from the confines of time, new for 2015.

If you’ve ever wanted to contact a past life, ancient beads are a great and inexpensive way to make solid and powerful quantum connections. Since I acquired my ancient beads, which was from 1960-1989, I’ve been salting them away for psychometric use.

Many of the more expensive beads went into Jewels of Ancient Lands productions, sold many years ago in Beverly Hills, San Francisco, New York & Atlanta jewelry boutiques for many thousands of dollars.

Those fabulous ancient and medieval glass and stone beads are long-gone, and cannot be repeated. The bead market that came out of Mali, Africa, has vanished forever — all you’ll find at that once-great international bead market are beads coming out of other places, notably Pakistan, China and Ethiopia.

Should I Go To Magic School???

Tamara asked whether she should go to a local magic school, and I told her that if she penetrated the French Drop & Heb Production with a Magic Bead, she’d be able to deduce all the principles of magic from that, provided she did so in front of an audience at least once per day, as well as before the mirror. The whole principle rests on the fact that you have to learn ALL the basics of magic — misdirection, pause, timing, passes — everything, in order to do what I do on-camera here:

Save yourself time, money & grief. Don’t enroll in an expensive, time-consuming Magic School, unless you plan to use it as a social networking gig as well.

Get a Magic Bead and Master the French Drop! You can order the beads from me individually — they vary in price, quality and rarity and run anywhere from $5 a bead to $5,000 a bead for a 4,500 year old antiquity with some pedigree papers.

You can also order my DVDs on the French Drop.

You may NOT order the Advanced French Drop until you post a video with your French Drop acceptably performed at least three times in a row before an audience — the deal is, they have to be equally astonished the third time they’ve seen the exact same trick two times beforehand.

You will note that I did NOT reveal the secret, even when showing the television audience the “unsafe” angle! Go thou, and do likewise! This blog, by the way, is an example of the real value of electronic blogs — we did the video just hours ago, it got posted and I wrote the blog just a while after that, and you have the opportunity, if you know to look here, to vew — note that I did NOT say “read”, but “view” — the blog. It has color, sound, movement, immediacy and immersion. You can’t get that on a sheet of paper, at least not yet.
