Wack-o-Magic is building a new magic table.. it folds super small.. and turns into a full size practical table.. with two shelves.. on wheels!!
Wack-o also will release a super creepy routine this year with a Grimoire!!
and Walt Anthony and I have teamed up with one of the top bully experts in the country to come up with an anti-bullying routine that EVERY school show and library magician won't want to be without!
Now that I'm moved into my new space.. I know that 2012 will be VERY exciting for Wack-o-Magic
Wacko Magic is a new magic manufacturing/distribution company that makes what it sells.
http://www.wack-o-magic.com
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.

This was taken off the magic cafe because it has a swear word. So it does.. and it's funny as heck.. takes a moment to get.. because you have to read the title of the cartoon..

New Shipping Dept...
In between the new Dancing canes.. the release of the Great Big Silkola Heist, and R & D on new upcoming items...
I found the time to make new room in the Wack-o-Factory for a dedicated Shipping Area!!
What you don't see is the new hardware to hang the 750 feet of bubble wrap I buy at a time.. which will hang next to the box shelves.
you can see Tiny Tricky Trashcans waiting for assembly.. and my zig zag... a childhood dream.. which is awaiting a new paintjob and some re-sizing of the box.

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!

Dancing Cane NEWS!!
I got all the parts in for my new edition Dancing Canes... The molds are half done, and I chose the color for the new cane and the knobs.
I REALLY wanted to get the knobs vacuum metalized.. but alas, that was not meant to be. They'll still be metallic, but not reflective like I wanted. There are limits to modern technology... and the price point of the cane. Those both worked against me for the vacuum metalization.
However.. I can GUARANTEE that these canes will be the lightest, most beautiful canes ever to hit the market.
Umlike my first canes, they WILL separate for travel so you don't have to carry a yard long tube. It was the most requested of all upgrades, and I took your advice and found a way to make it happen.
I'll get you all updates as i can... and show you some in progress shots as I can. I can't show the process, as it's a trade secret.. but I'm sure you understand.

The new SILKOLA's are closer than ever!
I have a new Silkola coming out... The GREAT BIG COLA HEIST!!
These props have SEVERAL sigfinicant improvements over every other Silkola sold before.
#1: They come complete, Bottle, Tube, Specially Printed Silks, A silk Vanishing bag, and a lazer cut special bottle cap.
#2: The rod in the tube has a beaded end.. no more poking holes in your silks.. this one is so gentle.. because the silk is so much biger.. 12 x 18!!
#3: The routine makes sense.. follow a couple of thieves during their GREAT COLAS HEIST... and watch as the secret recipe is stolen, vanishes, and reappears in the Cola Vault!
I'm so proud of this item, and the amazing story that Walt Anthony has come up with.
Here's a preview of the silks!
