Fortune Teller Booth prop from Warehouse 13 on display...

When I first glimpsed this Fortune Teller Booth from Syfy's Warehouse 13 on display at Universal Studio Hollywood's archive exhibit, I immediately thought of the 'Zoltar' booth from Tom Hanks 1998 movie Big. Alas this is not that booth, but this 'Sallah - The Soothsaying Sultan' fortune-telling arcade machine certainly evokes that magical movie prop and was featured in the season three Warehouse 13 episode, 'Insatiable'.

New costume and prop delights on display at Universal Studios Hollywood in October 2014...

The last time I visited Universal Studios Hollywood's costume and prop archive exhibit was back in April earlier this year and I'm glad I waited this long to return as even though there are lots of new artifacts on display, there were many authentic costumes, props and models I'd seen before.

The attraction still has plenty to see from the small and big screen though, from classic and contemporary movies, popular TV shows, and memorabilia from every genre from fantasy to sci-fi, comedy to stop-motion animation, biopics to period dramas.

One featured classic was the jacket worn by Don Knotts as 'Abner Audubon Peacock IV' in the 1969 comedy The Love God? designed by Helen Colvig, on display alongside costumes from TV's Warehouse 13 and Simon Pegg's film costume from The World's End.

Suit worn by Chadwick Boseman

This Summer Chadwick Boseman brought the James Brown biopic, Get On Up, to the big screen and this suit designed by Sharen Davis was on display from the movie about the iconic Godfather of Soul.

If you're a fan of the hardest working man in show business, be sure to also check out this preacher costume worn by the actual James Brown in The Blues Brothers that was previously on display at this ever-changing exhibit.

Sometimes you forget about the minutiae of detail that goes into making a TV show or movie, little things like shop signs, customised license plates and credit cards, just like this Santa Barbara Courier printed newspaper prop from TV's detective comedy-drama show, Psych, and its season four episode, 'The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damn episode'.

If you're a fan of the series which ran for eight seasons until earlier this year, be sure to also check out these original costumes worn by James Roday and Dulé Hill in Psych.

Chore wheel prop and costume worn by Steve Carell

Another fan favourite show represented at the exhibit was the U.S. version of The Office, which starred Steve Carell as 'Michael Scott', a manager at a fictional paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

This is the outfit the actor wore in the fifth season episode 'Company Picnic' and the fun 'Chore Wheel' prop from the season nine episode, 'Roy's Wedding'.

If you're a fan of the faux documentary comedy series, be sure to also check out these other costumes and props that featured in The Office on display on previous visits.

Stay tuned for even more new cinematic and televisual finds from my visit on October 9, 2014, including:

Original TV props from Warehouse 13 on display...

Syfy's quirky dramatic comedy Warehouse 13 comes to an end after five seasons this May and to mark the occassion the NBC Universal Experience exhibit at Universal Studios Hollywood had this selection of screen-used props from the show on display on April 15, 2014.

The series which started in July 2009 and was a mix of ideas from The X-Files and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and followed U.S. Secret Service Agents 'Myka Bering' (Joanne Kelly) and 'Pete Lattimer' (Eddie McClintock) assigned to a super-secret warehouse facility in South Dakota which houses supernatural artifacts from history and mythology.

In addition the 'Joshua's Trumpet' made from a ram's horn from the season three episode '3...2...1...', which could disintegrate objects with sound waves, the exhibit also had this 'Aztec Bloodstone' from the pilot episode.

One of the most interesting props in my mind is 'Hatshepsut's Golden Beehive' prop which featured in season three's 'Queen for the day'. This small golden beehive apparently belonged to the first female Pharaoh of Egypt, who used it to control human 'drones' with the pheromones of real honey bees.

Also on display was the Pocket 'Ping' device used by tech-wiz hacker 'Claudia Donovan' (Allison Scagliotti) in the season four episode, 'An Evil Within', whilst beside it is a fanged mouth used in the Aztec Bloodstone artifact.
