jnrussell Loyal user Michigan 207 Posts	Posted: May 12, 2011 03:35 am 0 I just bought the MAK Chair Suspension and wondered if anyone could share insights, tips, caveats, etc. I bought the booklet by Kyle Peron, but wondered if there are any additional "real-life" insights you could share. Thanks! John Russell John Russell Mastering Magician www.TheMasterMagician.net

I feel like that entire booklet is written out of real-life experience. Don't know if it is in the booklet or not, but I have found marking the floor with Masking Tape on where I want the chairs to be is very helpful! RevJohn

What I do is angle the chairs just a bit. I like the anchorage chair to be back a little bit more then the other chair. It just helps a bit rather then having it parallel.

jnrussell Loyal user Michigan 207 Posts	Posted: May 13, 2011 01:49 am 0 Thanks for all your willingness to help! I noticed for instance that putting the board back into place seems awkward. Surely there's a better way than putting my arms between a little girls feet! Like the idea of the angle and marking the spot. Yes I'm planning on using a child volunteer. don't have many friends under 100 pounds anymore! LOL Will also check other threads John Russell Mastering Magician www.TheMasterMagician.net
magic4u02 Eternal Order Philadelphia, PA 15110 Posts	Posted: May 13, 2011 07:09 pm 0 You are most welcome. There really is a way to put the board back that makes things easier. It takes practice and you require a certain feel for it. Grab the sides of the board near the bottom edge. You then stand where the child’s feet are and slide the board under by angling it downwards. You then bring the far end up until it this the “secret part” and you then slide forward. By doing this, it rides up properly and falls into place much faster and easier. Hard to explain but you will see what I mean if you try it. Hope this helps.

It is hard to explain in written word, but if you give it a try, you will see what I mean, it makes it much easier to take the board out and replace it back in much smoother.
