Very interesting and impressive illusion. Anybody know who is builder of this one? I found it on http://www.startrixx.de ,the same saw illusion,but I don't know if he has the copyright? Serg.

You need to get permission from Ayala (ayalamagic@aol.com)to perform this illusion!
Bill Smith is the builder.

Doesn't Rouven also have one?

Frank Alfter has one (used years ago at Warner movieworld, made by Bill smith) and this is the one Jan Rouven uses.

That is a great illusion! what does one run these days?? haha...

I think Terry Evanswood is also performing this illusion...

And Jidinis , If I remember.

Isn't this Dick Zimmerman's Master Prediction System?? Doug Malloy and Wellington make a very similar prop.

Wierd...I clicked on the link a few days ago and saw a pic of the illusion where the two saw blades slide into the pyramid Joaquin is in...Now I do see a master prediction system.

I'm confused.

You never will get a permission of ayala. the one from frank was bought out from the warner brothers...jidini one is not official permitted, also the rebuildings of startrixx...

Chezaday did you see the new Master Prediction system that Wellington is working on? One Word : SWEET!

If I'm right they are the same.

This post is messed up. The link at the top went to a pic that was very similar to the Zimmerman Master Prediction System. I've seen the Wellington version and it's amazing. I don't really do that kind of stuff in my show .. but, very cool.

At some point the comments were about Ayala's "Blades of Death" illusion. Actually I'm not sure what he calls it .. but, that's his illusion. I'm sure there are copies out there.

No one can touch the original though .. he's the best!

The Wellington and Mallory prediction versions are basically different interpretations of the Zimmerman effect, both made with Dick Zimmerman's permission and fully authorized.

Thanks to all for the discussion. I only want the conviction that startrixx has no permission. Serg.

The idea belongs to Sonny Fontana and there are no special rights to ayala...Ask sonny about the story...

Thanks Andy Leeroy. Serg.

As a side note, I am pretty sure that the one Terry Evanswood uses was built by Fairchild....
