Hi all
I'm building a new illusion right now and need a realistic looking rubber/latex foot.
I've called all the magic/prop stores here in Germany and no one could help me, so I'm probably going to buy one in the states or make one myself.

Does anyone know where I could buy a realistic looking foot in the US? (no bloody halloween prop please)

I will also need to animate it, it will have to wiggle up and down. Has anyone here ever managed to build something like this themselves?

Thanks in advance

I have a mold for silicone feet... but not one for rubber feet.

John Bundy recenlty remolded my foot to make feet for his sawing in half..

He's a member here... send him a PM

You might check a orthopedic store, they might be able to order from them or guide you in building one yourself.

The foot movement I made for my illusion I got from a battery operated halloween toy. It was 2 creepy hands moving up and down attached to a plastic case. I converted it to remote control. I only see this toy available during Halloween.

Erasedover:
The following two magic web sites indicate that they make make arms, legs, feet etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanx to everyone for the great ideas!

Lou Hilario, I just bought a discounted Halloween prop that could do the trick, but it's not remote controlled, how did you convert your toy?

Erasedover, this is the remote I installed. You will need a 12V DC separate power supply for this.

As you seem to be in Germany, I would recommend asking the next theatre - in Stuttgart there is a Staatstheater. They have the workshops and the skilled craftsmen too. Just ask them - normally people in the theatre business are willing to help.

Well just a little update. After all the great advice here, I decided to make the prop myself. I ordered everything I needed on the internet, including a cheap RC car toy... and the foot came out great! Very realistic! Now I'm working on the movement, and the prop should be finished soon.

Thanx for your help!
