Hi guys
Need an advise I am in the process of upgrading my Marcelo Contento Card Fountain to Wolfs Magic Euruption Card Fountain....due to the Angle it can shoot the cards out. Please advise if this 2 units, which one is a better version...I only heard about the the bigger in size from Wolfs..but if the distance & angle is better than the Marcelo Contento'S Card Fountain...then I will sell away & get the Wolfs Magic version. Hope for any advise P/S: Any idea what happen to Marcelo Contento'S Website...is no longer in operation, anyone know the new address, thanks Thanks dove-boy |

I didn’t know that Chance Wolf sold his eruption fountain as a separate unit. I know that it comes with the Chicken Sword.
As to which is best? Well friend they are both superior products. You already have the Marcelo Contento Card Fountain and know that it is an excellent prop. You know that it is a working pro’s prop and shoots the cards up fast and high. The biggest difference between the two models is that the Wolf’s model has a bigger “footprint” and a broader “shot pattern”. Chance calls his fountain an “Eruption” Because that is exactly what it is! He used to have a video demo on his web site showing the amplitude and scatter pattern of his Card Fountain. This is one of those Apples and Oranges choices. Both are well built working props. Both do basically the same thing, i.e., throw cards into the air. I guess you have to figure the final outcome you want and go from there. You won’t go wrong with either. By the way, I have both. The Contento model I have actually fits onto a regular card box. I have it installed in my jacket pocket. The cards fly from the pocket (dangerous I know!). I have placed the Wolf model into my top hat for a comedy bit (when I am not using it in the Chicken bucket). Again, different prop for a different visual need.

Hi Harry
Thanks for reply....not sure if Chance is selling as a single unit..if not I will have to get the whole chicket Sword unit.... The Marcelo Contento Card Fountain has a timer delay of 7-8 sec or we can opt for the Remote Control(purchase from Marcelo or Juan Mayoral, not sure if the Euruption Card fountain has a socket hole to plug the remote control if I opt to have one...thanks for the advise Regards doveboy |

Doveboy,
The original Eruption Card Fountain was designed specifically for the Chicken Bucket as it was combined, structurally, to include the Feather Launcher within the same unit. We plan to release a new design of the Eruption Card Fountain which will have many similiarities to the Contento version ( and yes, I have spoken with the Contento's and all is cool ). It will be smaller and streamlined along with a delay switch. I chose not to go with the remote control as I never really trusted those darn things and would not want to deal with problems in the long run. Once our shop's re-organization is complete, we plan to put this on the front burner as the Card Fountains are very hard to find these days. To answer your question, the Contento Card Fountain is SUPERIOR to any card fountain out there and it would be a challenge for me to match the beautiful design & structure. My only advantage, and it's a good one, is the ERUPTION Design feature whichs sets it apart from others and is very wild. Keep your eyes on my website and the Café for its release date. Harry, Thanks for the nice review Chance Wolf's Magic

Hi Chance,
Will we be able to put the Eruption Fountain in the Wacky Weasel Habitat like the Contento fountain? |

Mike,
Unfortunately, I had little room to work with in the Wacky Weasel habitat so I am pretty sure the Eruption unit will not fit. I will do my best to make it possible but can make no promises Thanks for the support! Chance
