'World's biggest treasure hunt' for handblown glass marbles registration starts July 1

You can hear Will Stuckenberg's love for glass marbles as soon as he starts speaking.

The Branson resident shared with the News-Leader how he stayed awake until the early hours of the morning to finish two glass marbles using a torch, or as he referred to it, lampworking.

"It has that sparkle," Stuckenberg said while rotating the handblown glass Monday. "It's just kind of magical. Glass tricks the eye."

Glass marbles are part of contemporary art, Stuckenberg said. The two orbs and more were part of a set Stuckenberg was hiding ahead of the "World's Biggest Treasure Hunt" kicking off July 1.
