I wasn't aware they could speak, let alone Finnish!

(sorry, just giggling at your post.)

The finish is great, but don't expect a 'perfectly normal looking picture'.

The principle has been around for many years, but seems to be almost perfectly refined in these.

I'm not sure if its the same principle as these pictures use or holographic but they had some stunning pictures at JFK airport when I was there.

NUMS website says:
My aim is to have a line of these running up the stairs at home—and just WAIT until people ask to use the bathroom!

Frankly, your guests are never going to get as far as the bathroom - I suggest you invest in an easily washable stair carpet :D !

Blimey!

I was just looking at these the other week and thinking about how great they'd be for an effect and as if by magic they suddenly appear in NUMS! Is this like that film 'Being John Malkovich'? If so get out of my head Seige!!! :wink:

Unfortunately, the full set wasn't part of my main purchase. There are a few more available, but I skimmed them and took what I considered to be the cream of the crop.

I displayed these for the first time, and Mrs Seige has now asked they be confined to my studio, as she thinks they are altogether too creepy for main display purposes!

They're such a fantastic focal point. And although at the moment, I can't think of a use for them in 'magical' terms, I am sure some bright spark will!

They're pretty creepy. That girl! If you laid the pic down flat on a table, looking at the 'good' side sidways on, would turning it through 180 degrees result in you seeing the other spooky side of the pic? If this works, imagine holding some sort of ouja board seance with the a cloth covering the pic and after contacting the apparently violent spirit, revealing the creepy side for the climax! Just an idea.

Dan :D

It is ideal for static magick shows. Put them on display in the room you are performing in and when the guests walk in they get a shock before the effects start :twisted: Yep! will get some of these next week from our Good friend Seige :lol:

..maybe you could adapt something from that Shivers book - the one with the photo and newspaper article...

..i've been working on a story which includes Banachek's PK Touches recently, the photos would be a nice reveal at the end that there was proof of a visitation or something...
