There are two effects in Mr. Lesley's book Paramiracles which I think would fit the description of a "mind controlled glass" -- "Mind of Meniscus" (hydrostatic glass) and "Mind Bender" (visible self-bending wine glass) Which one do you have ? You can purchase Paramiracles here : http://www.hermeticpress.com/product_info.php?products_id=21 . . |

David,
Thank you for your kind information! I mean his hydrostatic glass. It was sold as mind controlled glass. I will check the book. |

Mind Controlled Glass - https://www.magiccollectibles.com/produc......lable-2/ There is also a hydrostatic glass effect in his book Paramiracles using a LARGE wine glass. It is called 'Mind Over Meniscus'. I think that one was also marketed. The distinction is that in Ted Lesley's 'Mind Over Meniscus' a spectator holds the inverted wine glass by the stem with the suspended water and the water gushes out of the wine glass while it is held by the spectator, not by the magician/mentalist.  |

There is a rather casual performance (he calls it a "first rehearsal") of Ted Lesley's Hydrostatic Wine Glass that Paul Daniel's posted on his YouTube channel 10 years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enw3Gk0lw54
Frankly, with all due respect to Paul Daniels (and I do deeply respect him) this is a pretty rough demo. He admits that and cautions the viewers (probably mostly magicians and magic fans) to never perform something like this for real without adequately rehearsing it. Paul performs it alone , leaving out what I think is the main attraction of the Ted Lesley version, which is that a spectator is holding the inverted wine glass by the stem when the water gushes out. I think this video was shot at a time when Paul Daniels was selling off a lot of his accumulated magic props, so this may have just been made as a quick demo for potential buyers so they could see the prop in operation.   Paul added this NOTE to his video:  . |
