I can understand your hesitation in relasing this effect... But, I have a very good reputation as a Magic Builder of Unique Items and I love tricks that utilize the feet. I have a whole slew of items that I am just dieing to let out, but need that certain something extra.... that's where your illusion comes in.
In MHO it is foolish to believe that you will be able to keep this little gem to yourself forever. In my experience it is just a matter of time before someone with no scruples will knock off your trick (not that I would ever do this). In fact it has happened to me many times... I still hope that you will change your mind? Patiently waiting...dave |

Part of the problem is the fact that some people won't be able to perform the effect due to physical limitations and impatience. The effect does work better with flexibility and it is not being able to control that aspect which leads me not to release it. I don't want unsatisfied customers. As Daniel can attest to, if you don't do it right it feels like you are breaking your ankle.

That it does!
The first time I tryed it was when Bill and I were doing a joint festival.. I tryed it after I saw him do it and it hurt A LOT... But now that I know how to do it.. the only problem is the fact I havent practiced it.. I personally feel the more you practice this the more practicle it looks.. I can get my foot about 3/4 of the way to the back.. now if I practiced it would be the whole way. Daniel |

I see why you might hesitate. However, as with all magical devices out there today, it is up to the user to be aware of the dangers. For instance, Flash Paper can be very dangerous. I remembere when I first started doing the muscle pass about 12 years ago. My hands were sore for months so bad in fact that I had brusies in the palms of my hand. I think that if magicians want to do a particular trick., that some will do what it takes to perform it. Practice does make perfect and some times it hurts a lot. I tried moving my feet in much the same manner as the demo and I can see that it might hurt to get this one perfected. I am 52 and it hurts still to this day to do the arm twisting illusion. But I still do it! Why because I am a magician, the audience loves to be wowed and I like to give it to them.
Again, I would like to encourage you to move forward. I have talked with a few about this and they think it is a great idea. Now that isn't to say that we might have problems with say; the folks who might not be satisified. But, I believe in the product and realize this wouldn't be for everyone. I wouldn't want to see the 89 year old guy in the magic club buy it. I think that Marketing is the key. A young mans trick! |

Thanks, I don't want to push you into something that you don't want to do. But, I believe in this. Until I hear from you. I wait patiently.

To anyone interested: I have had several conversations with Mr. Bill and it appears that Precision Magic will not be representing his effect. I do wish him good luck as he seems like a very nice family man.

Without telling too much. I pretty much have been persuaded to release this effect. Hopefully all goes well.

We are looking into that right now. I do not want to drop any names about whom I'm involved with without their permission to state so and until things are finalized.
I must say thank-you to you Dmann as you help convinced me about release the effect. When more info comes about, I will let everyone know. |

STill looking at some issues. I tend not to rush things and research thoroughly. I have considered other methods of release including a booklet with other effects, instant downloads and others.

Any news about this effect?

I think I will release this after all as a download. It'll keep costs down. It will also come with a big warning. This effect description/tutorial is for educational purposes only. I will not be responsible for anybody performing this and sustaining injury. Included though with the effect is the history of it's realization and some thoughts and ideas for other effects which you can work with and maybe bring to life.
coming soon |

Bill cheats as one of his legs is wooden, he had a fight with a crocodile in 1878. A bad year for Bill's leg.
