Fascinating Michael! A close friend of mine — John Gaughn is a magic builder and has built many props for our shows in the past. Is also one of the worlds most renowned expert on automatons, And has rebuilt and restored many of the worlds most famous ones.

While in Monte Carlo one time, I was able to tour the famous Automata museum, which is not open to the public. You can visit it by invitation only.
