Description
Rob Stegmann's description:
Some time ago I corresponded with Richard Kaufman who had been researching the magician Theodore DeLand (1873-1931).DeLand had created a vanish puzzle called La Mysterieuse in which I was interested - I had found some information on vanish puzzles in Richard's online publication Genii Magazine. (The thread cited references a nice online vanish puzzle called The Bermuda Square - you can download a PDF here.)
In the course of our conversation Richard told me he had found an illustration of DeLand's Circle Puzzle and the only known set of instructions.
No physical copies (originally printed on celluloid) are known to exist. Richard kindly gave me permission to re-create the puzzle and use it as my exchange at IPP35. I worked with Pavel Curtis, who refined the design and laser-cut copies for me. I include a four-piece border as an aid - the puzzle is more difficult if you at first try it without the border.
