Curious as to this title? Well, this post refers to a magic trick that you can purchase related to the Borden case. It is called In Lizzie’s Hand. Only $38!
A Bizarre Magick Effect by Larry White and Bruce Kalver
EFFECT: The performer explains that at a recent auction he purchased an old trunk, full of miscellaneous items. While rummaging through the dusty box he found a very interesting letter inside. Apparently, it turned out to be a handwritten letter by Lizzie Borden. The performer then reads the letter to the audience explaining that whenever he does, he gets the strange feeling that Lizzie’s presence is looking over his shoulder. The letter explains her side of the infamous story about her and her parents, and as he recites the letter, the performer apparently becomes “possessed” by Lizzie and becomes angrier and angrier. As he reads the last line of the letter, “I just want to be left alone Maybe the truth will come out but for now I wash my hands of the whole thing,” the performer slaps his clean hand onto the letter and when he lifts his palm (which by the way, is still clean) the letter is covered by a huge blood-stained handprint!
If any of you purchase this, please email me and let me know what you think. I am soooo curious!
