Over 32 hours of graphic design work over the course of 3 days.. and the Grymoire's are finally at the printer.. That's where the work just BEGINS!! These props are going to be ART!! BEautiful, wonderful amazing incredible ART!!
Can't tell you much about the storyline.. but WOW... Walt and I have really out done ourselves.. there's an adult bloody version.. and a kids version with green goo... I hope I sell a thousand of them.. but I can't imagine making a thousand of them!!
Wacko Magic is a new magic manufacturing/distribution company that makes what it sells.

I'm mostly a one man show. I sculpt, mold, sew and otherwise assemble most of the props that are sold by the company.
I try very hard not to outsource beyond my neighborhood... which is a LITTLE easier because I live in Los Angeles. As many parts as I can get are made in the USA!
Lots of care goes into each prop, but you get what you pay for.

Dancing cane news... good and bad...
The new dancing canes are in production. Sadly, they will NOT BREAK IN HALF for travel and storage. I thought I'd found a way to make them easily store and still have them perfect, but, when I did the R&D I found it was not possible to keep the weight to a minimum and still have the aesthetics and the function still perfect.... so they will store, once again, in a 36" mailing tube..
The picture is of the cane nobs.. mid manufacture.. not painted or finished.. I just posted it to give you a preview of what the shape of the knob of the cane is going to be. They were cast off of a REAL brass knob.. and there is NO SEAM running over the top of the knob.. in fact.. on many of them, there is hardly any sign of a seam at all! I found a GREAT way to minimize any casting lines... a feat I'm particularly proud of! It was a problem with the last edition that I finally found a way to fix!
However.. they're still SUPER LIGHT.. average weight is just 58 grams.. that's only a fraction over 2 ounces... the Creekmore canes were over 6 ounces...
Even with the lack of breaking in half.. I still think these will be BY FAR the best looking and most practical dancing canes EVER on the market!
