Entertaining Stories Revolving Around Jewelry Boxes in Movies, Books, and Plays

It is interesting to know that jewelry boxes have featured in many movies, plays, and books. Hollywood movies have used them frequently to tell a story. There are several movies that mysteriously revolve around a jewelry box. 'The Black Swan' is a famous movie starring Natalie Portman and she even won an Oscar award for her incredible performance. In the movie, every night when she goes to bed with all her toys, she would dream of a ballet dancer in a musical jewelry box. A South Korean film, titled 'When A Woman Breaks Her Jewelry Box', was released in the '70s, in which a woman breaks her jewelry box to get to know the truth about her mother. When all along she had thought that her mother was dead, she was actually alive and this was revealed when she opened her mother's jewelry box. It was voted best film and also won an award at the Blue Dragon Film Award ceremony. Another scary movie which involved a jewelry box is 'What Lies Beneath' with Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. Michelle discovers the jewelry box at the lake behind their home and that was the clue which helped her to solve a murder mystery. She was constantly disturbed by a ghost appearing before her and you have to watch the movie to enjoy the thrilling conclusion. Thriller movies like 'Pirates of the Carribean' have also used treasure chests and jewelry boxes extensively. In the 80's, Dalton Moore, an administrator at the Swindon High School, wrote a lovely play named 'The Missing Bride'. The students were trained to act so naturally that they won an inter-school competition. This play was all about a bride who went missing from her wedding party. Everyone in the party were apprehensive about the bride being missing. They searched high and low in the house till they found the jewelry chest which looked old and made an effort to open it. When they opened it they found, to their dismay, only her dress and the bride had disappeared. Her body was missing but her beautiful wedding dress was in place. There was perfect silence and the audience was scared to death! Finally the play explained that the old house, which was bought for the bride and groom was haunted! In Greek mythology the story of the famous Pandora's box is well-known that the Gods had given a pretty girl a lovely jewel box and was asked not to open it. But curiosity got the better of her and she opened it only to release all kinds of diseases and destruction into the world. Jewelry boxes find a place in fairy tales too. In the story of "The Emperor's Clothes" the clothes and the richness of the treasure chest which was used by the king is described in detail. In the famous books of J.K. Rowling who wrote the "Harry Potters" series of books. The first book tells us that Harry is a wizard and he inherited his fortune form his parents. This fortune was kept in jewelry chests at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. This is the first series called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" From adults to children love thrilling stories and ones which involve jewelry boxes and hidden treasures are a sure hit with them. The whole family is thrilled, whether it is a story book, or a play, or when watching a movie together!

Seance - The Daisey Mae Story

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...

Pokemon Training - Not Unlike Horses

Welcome to the Pokemon Cafe! The Pokemon cafe is for those who, like me, know next to nothing about the world of Pokemon that our kids are so excited about. I myself am a mother of an 11-year-old boy who spends a great deal of his day thinking of Pokemon. These days he's especially crazy about Pokemon Black and White, including the Pokemon card game and also the new Pokemon Black and White Plushies (Pokemon stuffed toys that look like stuffed animals). Since Pokemon Black and White came out, I admit to caving in and buying him a large plush toy and two small plushies. No more! Today's topic is training- how it is done and the attitudes of the trainers. Practically speaking, there are the attitudes of trainers in the animated Pokemon storyline and the attitudes of gamers. It is the former I want to focus on; it's more interesting! Like any other animal/human relationship, the core of the Pokemon/trainer relationship is based on trust. Beyond that, there may be a great deal...
