About how much money would a WWF Championship foam belt made bought and played with from 1988 be worth?

I'm not sure, but if you want to sell it, put it on ebay.com and find out. Depends on the condition it is in, how many are still floating around out there and what kind of demand there might be for such an item. Having the original packaging would probably increase the value a bit. If it was still in its original package and unused it would be worth more. eBay might be your best bet as the previous poster suggested. Or maybe a toy/collectible/sports memorabilia convention?

Criss Angel did not use camera magic. He most likely used invisible string or what he did was real. I don't think it was real because he is a illusionist Obviously you cant make objects float.

What is the value of a 1916 Sonora Phonograph?

Phonographs are evaluated on condition, rarity, and desirability of the design. Re-painting, mis-matched parts, damage, missing pieces, and poor running motors devalue phonographs. Sonoras are in the mid-level of desirable phonograps. Outside horn phonographs are more desirable than "victrolas" (brand name of Victor phonographs that were produced with internal horns) the term that was most often attached to internal (or hidden) horn phonographs. Most victrolas are worth between $100 to $500 dollars in excellent condition and most horn phonographs are worth from $300 to $1,200 dollarsin the American market (I've been collecting them for 12 years and that has been my observation only!). Other variables on value include location and size of the instrument.
