Have you seen the one John restored that's at the Magic Castle?

He also restored The Turk, but that's another story unto itself.

The Turk was featured a while ago in the TV series The Secret World of Magic by UK magi Pete Firman and Ali Cooke who visited John's workshop, played against The Turn and tried out a few of John's own magical creations.

One must be brave to enter John's shop given the dozen or so guard parrots he has on patrol. . . the will reach down from the rafters and give you a good bite or just steal your hat. . . I nearly had a terrible experience at the old shop one afternoon in that I wear lots of shiny earrings. . . shiny metal + bird with big beak can result in some ugly happenstance

John is a genius however, and since he's teamed up with Stinemeyer and a few other brilliant minds, he seems nearly unbeatable. Thankfully he was the guiding force behind a young Bill Smith who now carries forward the Gaughan legend and then some; the two being responsible for some uncanny advancements in illusion design and improved deception methods.
