May 21, 2009 --
Hi folks! I know it's been awhile since our last update...but
things HAVE been moving forward on ALL fronts.
For instance, we now have over a dozen POP
Guns in stock and ready to ship! Just place the order
with the PayPal buttons on the POP
Gun page and we'll get it out ASAP. We were hoping to have
three dozen ready to go, but other project deadlines keep looming.
More should ready by the time the I.B.M. 2009 Convention rolls around in
July.
On other fronts, we're working feverishly on "This
End Up." We have arranged for a good friend to
"kick the tires" on the prototype for us and he plans to debut
the illusion at a major magic convention this Summer. No, we're
not saying who it is or where it'll be presented...yet.
The "Chainsaw!"
has been moving forward...and is STILL being improved! There
should be a pile of them in our workshop very soon. Actually,
there already is..
.
...they're just not finished yet.
We'll also be building a couple of Jim Steinmeyer's Modern Art
illusion in the next few weeks and expect to have an exciting new design
to show you by the end of June. No fair
peeking...
Here's a photo that should make many of you smile, though:

They'll be ready in a couple of weeks. ;o)
Work is also continuing (as we find moments to spare...HA!) on
our line of "Close-Up Illusions." So far we have four or
five GREAT new ideas we're working on. Among them, "Whirlygig,"
"Headache" and "Allergic Reaction" to name a few.
Which one gets released first just depends on how the R&D
goes. We hope to have the first release from that group, again, by
the end of June.
Gotta go make MAGIC! Later!
