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.

NEW MIsMADE Monsters!!
After nearly 6 months of being unavailable, i have a limited number of Mis-Made Monsters!!!
These are super limited.. and each one is hand made.. hand painted... and beacause of this.. no two are exactly alike. Some of them are more different than others, the monster's jacket may be a different color, the castle may be a bit different, the stand may be different. The workings however.. are all the same.. and there are small improvements over the first run. The Magnet in the castle can't come loose anymore, as it's embedded deep into the plastic now.
The monster is lighter in weight, but is JUST as strong...

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!

I'm in SHOCK!! WHo'd thunk that rubber walnuts would be a best seller??!!!
Half of these are fake.. and half are real.. and who'd have known when James Riser contacted me almost a year and a half ago that I'd have sold rubber walnuts faster than anything else Wack-o-Magic has made.
I've sold over 8 dozen.. and more orders come in EVERY day! Often for 4 or more at a time. It's just REMARKABLE!!!!

The Tricky Trash Can is ALMOST READY!!! FINAL version and pricing coming at the end of next week or so.
I've finally put one of the Tricky Trash Cans together... mostly. It's not quite done.. but its closer than ever.
I 'm waiting for one part to come in the mail.. and then this incredible untility device should be ready for shipping the end of next week or early the following.
It comes with TWO routines... one a kidshow story.. and one environmental magic story by magician/author/ consultant Walt Anthony... the genius behind the stories and routines for the Topsy Turvy Bottles and the Mis Made Monster!
I only have 15 of these... but if demand is good.. I'll make more..
