I think it's a marketing ploy, stirr up a bit od controversey and you get a ton of coverage, cheaper than placing an ad. Now let's argue over the OPium coin kreis magic has produced for Kotah. Did Higley exposer any methods when he said he could see the wires on the video ?


Kotah

Wires? What about the mirrors?

You both are failing to mention all the smoke that was just sooooo obvious in the trailer.

Opium Coin: It's done with a Gypsy varna and a couple of Qi Gong backflips into the swamp among the creepie-crawlies that nibble on your naked body. That's how it's done!

Seriously, I gotta get one! I love the concept.

Oh... and here I thought the secret was to use Opium insence, and the effect is just a hallucination in the spectator's mind ....

I can't work with opiates...I'd lose my job.

Well I just got butchers blade today when I finally arrived back home to Oz. This is really craftmanship. The whole package is absolutely superb, from the box its in(I was told he actually buries them to get the age look) to the blade itself. Every action made during the routine has purpose and it flows so perfectly and ends so cleanly its far more than I hoped for. This looks so good I'll be placing it into my special antique cabinet of curiousities, along with items like Gerlitz's prediction watch and some of the other more beautiful hand made mentalist/bizaar props I've collected over the years. All of which I use to perform in very real world conditions. I didn't really know too much about Tim Wisseman before this but now I'll be looking very hard at his special line of effects for the bizaarist. He has a spirit bell out that looks fantastic. I believe its been aged and like this blade, looks far more impressive than photo's can show, and it looks great in the photo's. I have my own story for this prop that follows our own local history from the turn of the 19th century involing the razor gangs of The Rock's in Sydney. The bell looks like the real deal, so that will be the next review and perfect for those graveside stories. Congratulations Tim on an outstanding piece of kit, its found a good home Down Under where workmanship like this is appriciated.

I too am interested in Tim's effect. But I would also like to say that Black Hart's straight razor has found a home in our seance and has worked like a charm. In the candlelight, with a story well acted, the trail of blood it traces upon the poor possessed woman's wrist makes the sitters squirm! Heh-heh!

I got tims dead ringer an its great iam going to get butchers blade next

Does anyone know how much "blood" you get with the butcher's blade and were can you get more?

I have Tim's Butcher Blade and I think it's great! I love the method it utilizes. I love how Tim aged all the props.

I still have plenty of blood in my original bottle from Tim. A little goes a long way!

It is a wonderful aged gaffed knife.

I believe it's off-the-shelf bottled stage blood?

IT is off the shelf. I think it was the same bottle that came with my Harry Anderson's Needle Through the Arm. The only differance is you mix water with it to thin it out a bit. You get more than you will ever need.
