Haha but seriously: Its not so much the BASES that are restricted. Its the PRESENTATION & use and deisgn of those bases the USE of certain configurations of the base with an existing deisgn.
For instance. Mascott Moth. (not a base design but bear with me) Copperfield uses a really great zimmerman base with a modern bevel base concept. VERY SLICK prop. So. that's a base. Using two things. A modern bevelbase (sandwich) design, mixed with a modernized Zimmerman step. Are both of those patented? Are they Reserved? well yes and no. The bevel base is not - the zimmerban base belongs to Dick Zimmerman. So. If one would want to build a cool base using a zimmerman step - You'd call Dick and say hey man what are the rights to the deisgn. IS THIS IDEA cool with ya? (usually it would be for a small fee) So: Assuming you've got Z's blessing - You can use a bevel base with a zimmerman step: but its what you DO with that combination and how its designed / presented. Other concepts don't use method's that belong to someone . but its a good example on how to deal with its sort of situation. As long as your using timless methods of magic, presenting them in new and interesting ideas - DOING YOUR RESEARCH & making SURE the concept is non existant . - Seek advise from trusted members of the magic community . . I posted earlier about knowing your props - Who designs what . Why. And how. THIS IS THE REASON behind that. Makes R&D for new designs that much easier. What is public domain and what is not. .. |

Thanks ryan, I needed the extra inches on my legs (I'm only 5"6).
I see your point. Lots of research to be done. |

As has been mentioned, the only base that I have heard that would have rights, would be the two story Zimmerman base. Don't believe there are any others (guys????).

Yes, I also was under theimpression that the Zimmerman was the only one you needed permission for. What about the Jarret?
