I know this has been discussed here somewhere, but now that I've used it in SEVERAL performances (2-3 a day all last week!)...I can say that this is a great effect. Basically, it's a prop made by Vincenzo di Fatta (of Italy), and put on steroids by billfromoregon. He basically remade all the visual parts of the prop making it a "bug trick", added graphics and text to the front that make it very visually pleasing, too. The bug aspect has also added a KILLER, kicker ending. I've worked a couple new ideas into it as far as the climax/reveal, too.

If you're AT ALL interested in one of these, I would contact billfromoregon (that's his "Café name") and ask about getting one. Last I heard, there might be one or two left.

If you're not familiar with his work and creations, a few months ago (maybe a year) he produced a "sliding disc box", much like a diebox/pizza box, and sold out very quickly!

Do the other purchasers of this item have comments about it in actual use?

Steve - So far, you and I are the only ones. I have just 2 of these available, and I will not be making any more after this. I have these listed in the let's make a deal section, but I will also state here that I have dropped the price by $100.00, so these are now just $175.00 plus shipping (these were originally spoken for, but never paid for, so my loss is your gain). You can see them here -

Now just one left...

Hi Bill,

I look forward to getting this! I always appreciate a well thought out concept coupled with high quality construction. WELL DONE! Guys he only has ONE left. Don't miss out!

Max

I can tell you that Bill's quality far exceeds that of typical magic manufacturers. If you want an extremely well made prop that will last- anything from Bill will do!

Seth - Thanks for the kind words. Glad to see you here on the Café. I'll call you about getting together with Shawn.

Max - I'm really looking forward to your temple screens. For those of you that don't know, you can check out Max's stuff at rnt2.com or magicenhancer.com. I'll post a review once I get my hands on them.

These are now gone - thank you magic Café!

Hi Bill,

Much appreciated! I know you are going to love it! The hardest part will be trying not to find too many uses for it! There is a thread started here already if you do a search for my name you will find it.

Best regards,
Max Krause

Guys,

I received the Way Cool Totally Awesome Balloon Bug trick today and it is FANTASTIC!

Bill did a wonderful job adding quality to an already very clever effect. The finishing is top notch and I can't wait to start using this in my show. You guys should beg him to make more. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks again Bill!

Max
