More Favorites
Hello friends,
Yesterday I told you all about my favorite effects to demonstrate to our friends in the Ronjo showroom.
Now I'll tell you about ten more favorites. The ones that can not be demonstrated for various reasons. I'll also tell you why we can't demonstrate them for you.
Dancing Cane by Unknown
I occasionally mess with this in the showroom but with people and shelves all around and random music playing, if any at all; makes this a weak looking piece. This requires the proper distance to be effective. Specific lighting conditions, the perfect choice of music and well rehearsed choreography would make this a professional effect. To be done on stage under optimum conditions or at the very least least a block party type event with music and perhaps a back drop.
Ultimate Snowstorm by Larry Maples & Raven
It is not practical to get a clear bowl of water and tissue paper for in store use. Gimmicks are one time use only (12 in a box), and will leave a mess behind in a store with shelves and counters. This paper mess is easily vacuumed or swept on a stage. Primarily used on stage or for outdoor venues.
Raven by Chuck Leach
Set-up required to fit the size of your hand and a wearing the gimmick in your jacket is best suited for most performances.
Federal Escape by Ronjo
I only set this up in our showroom when we have a large crowd watching and we have somebody else working in the shop that can answer the phone and help other clients.
Vendetta Wallet by EvilDan
The wallet is so versatile that so many things are possible. While it is a prop, it is not supposed to be perceived as a prop. Only a select few who visit us in the showroom are privy enough for us to explain it too. It is out of the price range of most perspective buyers. We are happy to explain it everyone when we are asked about it But not the method of course.
Torch To Rose by Unkown
We are not in the habit of igniting fires in the store, no matter how small. Although I occasionally will show this one off to those I believe are responsible enough and have a real need to use this in their act.
Airborne 7-Up Can by Doug Malloy
Requires filling the can before performance and the proper viewing distance.
Celebri-Tie by Bazar De Magia
Requires wearing a prop. It is difficult to work throughout the day and keeping this on. Plus I rarely wear a jacket & tie in our shop as I am often working in our warehouse.
Automatic Razor Blades by Dave Powell
Some of the materials are not supplied. Thread, use the size & color of your choice, SOME razor blades (due to legal reasons) and I would have to put blades in my mouth and therefore would not be able to sell the prop to a prospective client.
Rose From A Card by Lee Eun Gyel
The performance conditions do not permit it. We are generally stuck behind the counter. The height and distance of the counter make it awkward for our spectator to help out. And this effect requires the proper conditions in order to pull it off. On top of that, it is rare for a female to come in that is willing to help and of proper age and can understand that we are performing an effect and not trying to pick her up.
That is enough for today.
Thanks for reading!
