Origin
Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin is considered by many as the father of modern magic, inspiring many later artists with his writings and inventions, including Harry Houdini. When he started “conjuring”, Houdin retained it as a side hobby along with his career as a watchmaker. After he discovered the wider community of magicians, he became seriously invested in it as a lifestyle. Several of his tricks, such as Second Sight or Houdin’s Portfolio, involved sensing objects someone else was interacting with or destroying and then summoning back props from the audience.
Effects
This artifact allows for item teleportation, where one object will always appear where there was none before. But if used with another artifact it can allow for item transference.
