The Bell Witch narrative is a famous legend that originated in Tennessee in the early 19th century. It revolves around a family named Bell who claimed to be haunted by an evil spirit known as the Bell Witch. The haunting began in 1817 when John Bell, the father of the family, encountered strange occurrences on their farm. The Bell Witch was said to have tormented the Bell family for several years, causing physical harm, moving objects, and even speaking to family members. The witch's main target was John Bell, whom she reportedly despised and wished to harm. Witnesses claimed to hear the witch's shrill voice and witness her physical presence during these haunting events.
Steve is definitely my favorite card magician. His All Backs routine "Back To Aces" is probably the only version of the plot that I never get tired of seeing.
Regarding the number of tricks in these books that can be done from a shuffled deck in use, Steve Beam has a really cool feature in his books starting with vol 3 called the Routine Builder. Our set of balance beam consists of two beech wood beams and three beech connectors with rubber pads that prevent you from slipping while exercising.

Wooden balance beam - SETS - MAGICAL BEAM
We have been working on this original project for a very long time and it has been polished up in every detail. It is a one of its kind solution. Our set of balance beam consists of two beech wood beams and three beech connectors with rubber pads that prevent you from slipping while exercising. The set can be expanded with other segments. Combine fun with training and discover how your feet are strengthened, your body balance improves and your body awareness increases.
Strong foot and fully body control
At first sight it may look like a kids’ toy. You could not be more wrong! Balance Beam is a tool for movement training that would let you gain full body control, strengthen the foot and correct overlapping toes. While walking on it with a bare foot, each muscle is being activated and the toes are improving their grip (yes, the toes should also train it). There are, however, many other advantages. Doing exercises on the beams forces you to concentrate fully, so that you do them correctly and your technique is developing. As a result, you protect your body from injuries.
Small space, complete training
No time for training at the gym? The weather is frightful so exercising outside would be nothing pleasant? You have no room for training in your flat? It is not a problem at all. Magical Balance Beam was so designed that it would fit into every free space. The movable arms of the balance beam can be deflected in any way, so that even 1 m 2 is enough to perform a complete training. Those with more space have more possibilities to show off. The set can be unfolded over its entire length or additional modules can be added, arranging them in any way you wish. By having more than 2 modules, you can create a closed pattern with an equilateral shape.
After training, the set can be placed vertically in any place so that it does not take up any free space.

The witch allegedly displayed her ability to have conversations, answer questions, and even predict the future. Many believed the Bell Witch to be a supernatural entity with malevolent intentions.

Over time, various theories emerged about the origins of the Bell Witch, including suggestions of witchcraft, curse, or even a manifestation of a deceased neighbor's spirit seeking revenge.

After his passing, the Bell Witch reportedly declared that she would be back in seven years and left a message of farewell. The Bell Witch narrative has endured for centuries, captivating people's imaginations and sparking debates about its authenticity. Whether a paranormal phenomenon or an elaborate hoax, the legend of the Bell Witch remains an intriguing part of American folklore and continues to fascinate those interested in the supernatural..
