I saw a demo of this at hocus-pocus.com
Does anyone have a review on it? It looks pretty good.
Check out my Main Event project (DVD or Download).

I use it as my closer in my birthday show. I really like it. My only complaint is that the hinge on the box is literally red duct tape. So, it's starting to show some wear (I've been using it about 6 months.)

I bought it and have not yet learned the routine. I am trying to come up with a way to do the sound effects on my own.
wizardofsorts Do you use sound effects? If so how do you do it? |

Perhaps utilizing an ankle swith via the Showtech would allow for sound effects without the need of a helper.

I LOVE this effect. I bought it last year and I enjoy performing this effect as much as the audiences do in my shows. It has audience participation. It plays heavily on things not going quite right for the magician, which works really well. It has built in misdirection which leads into a great finish.
I have this and the Kandu Cray Carton (another killer) and am looking forward to their new release which is due out some time now. Cliff |

I don't do the sound effects. I find that the audience enjoys it just as much. Mini tech or show tech would be the answer to this problem but it's a little out of my price range right now.

I do this effect to circus music and use it to do the professor's nightmare! That way the music livens it up.
As I put on a clown nose and do all the gags and in the end... stretch the ropes.

Can someone tell me where to find this routine, perhaps a link?
I looked on Hocus Pocus and could not find it on their web site. Thanks Ken Scott |

I have just checked and it doesn't appear on their site anymore - strange! I'll e-mail hocus pocus and let you know?
Cliff Just got a response from Hocus Pocus (fast as ever!!) Paul says that they have sold out of Knot Funny and it won't be available until Feb 2004. They will also have the new Kandu material then too. Cliff |

Hello All,
This is one of my best/favorite tricks to do. I got it 2 years ago and I have used it from birthday parties to stage shows. I dropped the bit in the beginning with the flying rope. I found it was tighter with out it. I have never used the sound effects as seen on the tape as I don't have a musician with me. My only complaint is this is a very badly made prop. I have had to rebuild it more often than I care to remember. The box is taped together with duct tape (red but still duct tape). I am sorry to say I am going to place it on the shelf at the end of the year. This is not due to any other reason than I am doing more and more repeat bookings and the routine plays better as a surprise effect. I will miss this routine a lot. It has brought a lot of laughs, smiles and gasps. If you take the time to make this routine you own it will be one of the highlights of your shows. For my style of magic it has it all. It is funny, belly laugh funny for kids. It is a great use of the magician out of control/magician in trouble syndrome. It has a great Magical climax (the wow factor). In my routine it makes my helpers and the audience the stars and wonder workers, and it packs small and plays big. All in all a great value. If any one is interested I will be happy to share my version of the routine. All the best Mr. Phil

Hi,
Can someone explain the effect please? Phillip |
Mr Phil Regular user Tilton, New Hampshire 160 Posts |
Hello all,
Philip I will e-mail you the effect later this week. For the rest of you nice enough to ask for my routine, I am flattered. I am in the process of putting it on paper. It is kind of busy, so it may take a little time. Thanks for your interest. Mr. Phil

This is used to mark warehouse floors. They are hardy and last a long time. The two square pieces at the front keeps falling off, because the brass tak is not that strong. I replace the tak with press-studs. These are the long ones sold in Fabric stores. They will hold the squares forever. If you need some I can mail them to you. Richard "Tricky Ricky" |

I got Kanus's Knot Funny about a 2 months ago.
The tape was off/loose. I had to rework most of the tape connections with black gaffers tape. Now the prop is 100%. I didn't mind doing this because it is a GREAT piece of kids magic. As far as I'm concerned it "A" material for kids show's! Also changed the colors of the ropes to yellow. It shows up better and add's a litte more splash of color to my show. Also have Kanud's Crazy Karton. I can't say enough good things about this prop either. But I think Know Funny is a little bit ahead of it. Hocus-Pocus sell both items. But is out of stock right now. But if your reading this and you don't' have these props?, I would check Hocus-Pocus every day and as soon as they come in....Order it!!!! I don't get kick back from Houcus-Pocus. I always get great customer service from them. ~Good Luck~ PS. I wish The Magic Café had spell check!
