8/20
August 1975 - Thursday 21
233rd day - 132 days to come

To Phil Orbanes. He apologized for not calling me (see 8/19). I found out that I hadn't missed a quarter. To Bob Reiss. Spoke to him In connection with SPECTACULARS, he said that the fellow who does the molding for Reiss (and for Gamut of Games also I suppose) is interested in handling the whole package - paying me my royalties rather than Reiss. This would be better for me since he would give me mock ups of the spectacles to work with. His name: {Herb Chanko [phone number]
To Reiss. Spoke to Bob Reiss and to {Jay Peterson [phone number]. We spoke about 5x3 board, instead of the 4x4 board. Jay had a set of rules that Harry Lorayne sent in. He thought there is too many words and that it wasn't clear. Then I discovered that he meant the part that Harry had added to my original rules. I took a repro of the rules to clean them up - ASAP. Jay in the meantime will work with the plastic molder.
Spoke to Manny Lefkowitz about the SPECTACULARS. He had a handmade model of the frame with a maze on the bottom pc. Wanted to borrow the frame so that I could substitute my own bottom pcs. out of cardboard. He wouldn't give it to me. He did give me some steel balls and I also took two puzzles from the showroom with colored ball.s I mentioned Chanko and the possibility of getting a frame from him. Manny doesn't think so, but doesn't mind if I try. He is not sure whether they'll do 4 or 6, but wants at least 4 different ones.
Some ideas that I have been having for some time for SPECTACULARS.
