I have been doing some research into the House of Babcock magic. I know of the book The Story and Magic of Mel Babcock, Mel's youtube videos, the archived shops, numerous magazine articles, and the interview video. There was a seemingly very active Facebook group but it is private and my membership has been pending for a while. The admin is William Winters who doesn't seem to have been active for a while.
Does anyone know if the Facebook group is abandoned?

Just a quick update for future searchers. I was just approved for the group so it is still active. A lot of great material there!

Thanks FrankFindley. I'm a member there too, and although I don't frequent the group often, I can attest that it's still active. And the posts prove that the members are pretty much enamoured with Mel's work.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

He has done a terrific job with his items. I recently acquired his Triple Card Prediction which uses a very unusual principle applied to cards. Very clever. Performed it for the first time at our local IBM Ring on Monday. It was well received.
Would love to pick up a flying die.

You might e-mail him directly to see what's currently in-stock. He's very friendly and only 93 years young... A very nice man and a knowlegable magician.
