No. The DVD shows a performance of the effect in front of a live audience. It teaches the routine step by step. The CD has photos of the outside and inside of several different models and a crude wiring diagram.
There is nothing very difficult about making the device. Anyone with basic soldering skills and a little knowledge of electronics can build it. I would not recommend it for someone who has never done any basic electronics. Most people can find a knowledgeable person in their area who can make it for them at a reasonable cost.

I am having a hoot performing with Don's Art Deco TD.
Thanks Whit for the brilliant routine and BTIP's.

You are welcome. Don's versions of my T-Device are wonderful.

Don has been fantastic, he has sent me loads of pictures of the different ones he has built, he also sent me the DVD of the routine while I am waiting for the box to be built.
He has sorted out shipping to England for me and even when the box he was working on wasn't exactly what I wanted it wasn't a problem.
All of my emails to him with questions about the box were answered quickly and very thourghly I can't praise him enough.
When I placed my order he said as it was Christmas and money was probably tight I could pay half now and the rest when the box was finished, a true gent.

Rowland,
Baltimore is finally emerging from the Ice Age, so I will finally be able to get your TD on its way to Merry Old England.

I bundle the DVD/CD with the TD when I build one, but if you have already purchased them from Whit, and then changed your mind about building it yourself, I will sell you one without the bundled disks for $50 less ($50 is what I pay for the disks, and I don't mark them up)
In that case I would need proof that you own the disks, as I won't sell a TD to anyone who has not bought the routine.

Just recieved my teleportation device from Don, it looks fantastic and works brilliantly.
I can thoroughly recommend it well worth the money.
The DVD that Don supplies with it shows whit performing it and the explanation is first class.
I am sure this is going to be one of my favorite routines to perform.

If anyone wants one of these, I'd be willing to build one in trade for some lightweight 12" rings, Owen or similar...
Just a thought

Glad to see people using this routine. I have enjoyed performing it since the mid-eighties.

Following advice from Don (wonderful, generous help!) plus the DVD's purchased from Whit, I built a TD with features as follows:
Front (audience side): speaker, lights, potentiometer controls
Rear (performer side): switches for sound/lights, "antenna" activation
I used a large, heavy speaker with a huge magnet, because it packs a whallop of sound. I use a wireless lapel mic, not a microphone-in-stand like Whit, so my device needs to put out a lot of sound, which it does. The downsize is its size and weight (c. 4-inch speaker).
I plan to build another TD in time and welcome thoughts on location of components. It seems that having the potentiometers on the rear, for easy thumb control, is best. Press-and-release OFF/ON switches for sound and light seem better than toggle switches. Your thoughts?

Don,
Do you have any bundles available or plan to soon and what is the bundle price.
Thank you
Brian

I plan to build another, after a first funky contraption which, after numerous performances, turns out to be too large for convenient gripping in one hand. The controls need to be relocated, too: for looks and function alike.
Treat yourselves to a rewarding hour of comparison-viewing: first, view the instructional video Whit made when he first released this gorgeous and ingenious routine; then, view his recent release at his website (and available on YouTube). The differences between those two video-presentations follows the refinement Whit developed in taking this routine to its masterpiece status, and if we follow his footsteps --- or, climb onto his shoulders --- we stand to bring our audiences all the more wonder and fun.
I love this routine!

After reading a number of reviews on this forum I contacted Don Stachowiak so that he could build me a teleportation device for the Whit Haydn routine. He was very responsive and friendly during the discussion process. We discussed a price and a time frame (1 month). After exchanging emails about the details on how I wanted the device to be built, I Paypaled him the discussed amount in full. After close to four months, giving him the benefit of a doubt, and him giving me excuse after excuse, plus ignoring my emails, I realized that he was just taking my money.
I asked for Don to refund me my money or send me the device that I paid for, but I did not receive anything. It has now been 6+ months and he still has not refunded me my money nor has he sent me my device. And it seems like I am not the only person that he has done this to.
If anyone is looking to get a teleportation device built DO NOT buy one from Don Stachowiak! I strongly recommend going to Nick Wenger. I ordered one from him, he built it within two days, and it surpassed my expectations.

Chris et al,
I am sorry for Chris's experience and expect Don to respond to it - and make it right. I just want to register that I worked with Don and my experience could not have been better. I found him responsive, helpful, timely and I am extremely satisfied with what he sent my way. I'm sorry that Chris's experience was so different and I expect there may be some explanation and some redress forthcoming. But for the public record, I just wanted to share how totally satisfied and pleased I was with Mr. Stachowiak's work. I expect that some satisfaction will be forthcoming to Chris.

You can always build your own. It's really not all that difficult and can actually be a fun little project. Here's how mine came out

That's a great looking device, Payne. Beautifully done.
