4. A three-channel color organ drives red, green, and blue spotlights in response to the music described above. The lights are aimed to overlap on a projection screen or a bare white wall. In addition to demonstrating color mixing, a well-chosen location can enhance the ambient lighting of the room. It also provides a rationale for the music. Sources for inexpensive color organs and color organ kits can be found on the Internet. Use "color organ" and/or "light organ" as search words. first citation in article

6. In reality, of course, the person playing the role of the "head" is sitting on a stool under the table with her head sticking up through holes in the tabletop and bottom of the box. Strings attached to the door of the box and running through small holes in the tabletop allow the "head" to open and close the door at will. With the door slightly ajar, a mirror placed on the table enables the "head" to see approaching visitors so she can open the door in a timely fashion to greet them! first citation in article
