Note: doesn't look Italian.

But he knows conjurer tricks for sure! Here comes my latest effort at making increasingly tiny mansions. Share and enjoy! :D

Toybox....
I really liked that one !!  (Nice little trick indeed !!)

Has the name been inspired by the recent movie "The Prestige" (by Christopher Nolan) ??

If you haven't seen it, I can really recommend it to you (and everybody else).....  it's one of the best films in recent years (and there have been a lot of good movies recently)..... starring Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and the ever-lovely Scarlett Johansen.

Plus...David Bowie's making a surprise appearance as Nicholas Tesla, inventor of the vacuum tube.

It's a wonderful film about magic.

I just watched that recently for the first time, really loved it!
Read this unless you plan to watch the movie:
Frighting how he had to clone himself alot to preform a trick. And making the person who was being cloned go through the trap door and and going into the water tank that kills him. Very interesting movie.  :) By the way, I'm not that patient. How long do you wait there?? The falling platform doesn't take jack with him!  :o

Nope, that was an episode of Columbo ("Now you see me"). Hence the first comment in my post btw  ;)

You don't have to go anywhere. Just wait, see him perform his magic trick, and voilà  :D.

How long is it that you have to stand there? I'm getting impatient and jacks, well, sleeping...  Do you need to be in one certain place????

I think he forgot to adjust the trapdoor.... or forgot how to preform the trick!

Just down where the arrow points. No trick? No appearing and disappearing?  [smiley=huh.gif]

LOL  ;D

Oh, I see....  ;D

Never understood that "Italian" remark.....  

I even remember having seen that episode a long time ago.... it's one of the old (+ good) ones...ca. mid-70s if I remember correctly ?!

@Wingy:

Absolutely !!
And your comment about the trap door reminds me that there's even more in common between MM and "The Prestige" !!   :)

Indeed, mid-70's (the good period ;)). Glad to see another Columbo appreciator!

Yeah !!
BTW: I always liked best the episode starring Johnny Cash !!  That was fantastic....

And...even if Columbo is the role of Peter Falk's life...(guess he'll die in that trenchcoat  ;))...he was never better than when he played in the old John Cassevetes movies...(before he became famous as Columbo) !!

Swan Song? Curiously enough I saw it the first time last year only (even though I had seen most episodes ever since I was a young boy, some of them about a thousand times). One of these episodes where you cannot help feeling sorry for the killer  ::)

The Great Santini, a good name  ;)

Actually is a completely simple Mansion   ;D

Alright, it's been along time, never figured this mansio out. What's the secret?  :-/ ::)

To quote myself:

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Like really, how long to I have to stand there??  :-?

Wait a second... the Jack going behind the gold and infront is the trick, right???  :o Wow, I feel like a really big idiot. I thought there was a trap-door!

No, that would be the *amazing* Santini. Only Freddy could do that ;)
