Paul Green just sent me a link to Hocus-Pocus, where they are listing "Hot and Cold" a total rip off of my Plumber's Sticks.
They list it at $125.00 ... you can buy the Original from www.stevensmagic FOR HALF THAT PRICE.

The ad on Hocus-Pocus says Hot and Cold is imported from Germany. That is probably the guy making it in the picture. Find out who he is and fly to Germany to confront him.
Wasn't there another version with a water ending, I believe I seen an ad someplace where water poured out at the end. |

David Regal put out the water finale version. He's a pal of Pete's.

I would contact HP and offer to sell them the original. Worth a try.

Regals's is different and I was OK with it. And at $300 you could by a case of mine from Stevens.

This was being sold at the Blackpool magic convention, I had a look at it and thought the quality pretty poor. The taps on the ends are made of a very poor plastic, even the guy doing the demonstration could not get it to work smoothly.

Here's a link to my original:
http://www.stevensmagic.com/index.php?ma......_id=1563 Posted: Feb 24, 2012 1:00pm I contacted Hocus-Pocus and Paul was out of town when the sample came in from Germany and his staff put it up on their web site. As soon as they called Paul he told them to PULL IT DOWN. THANKS PAUL, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION. Posted: Feb 24, 2012 1:29pm Hegbli: If you can find me a round trip to Germany for under $50 I'll do it.

It would be in their interest not to infringe on someone with as high a profile as Pete.

Pete,
Did you at least find out who manufactures this ripp off ? I did a search on internet, but all german shop have the same advertising picture and text. The only one that differs is the one sold by http://www.boretti-shop.de since they are giving some history of the effect in their advertising. Here's the link : http://www.boretti-shop.de/index.htm Scroll down a bit and you'll see the picture. If I'm right you read a little german, aren't you Pete ? If needed, feel free to ask me for a translation. I hate poeple stepping on other people's feets to make money. It's yours and it should remain so. Oliver. |

Our Bill Palmer is our German expert, he can even write a book in it!
And Paul at HP is really one of the "good guys" in magic, high level of integrity. Pete, I'm from Chicago, and we have a way of dealing with enemies... Magically, Walt |

OLIVER: Thanks... I looked over Boretti's site and finally found it. I will email him promptly. I also got the dealer name that supplied Hocus-Pocus and let him know as well.
