I just bought one of these... a new Bond Lee off ebay...green, in nice box. Problem is, HORRIBLE cane. I have many canes in the past...Walsh, German, Tannen. This is the hardest cane to recollapse I ever saw...takes several minutes. It is either the geometry of the cane (shorter when coiled than most) or the paint creates too much friction for the tolerance. YEs, I have used lubricant (though it isn't necessary, it helped a tiny bit)...yes, I loosen the cane... it just isn't made quite right.

Good advice, I'm sure.
But, this is a Bond Lee product, the Ultra Cane... It came from a US seller (not Asia, China, etc.) . The fact that it is sold on ebay doesn't keep the seller from being a reputable dealer. By the same token, wherever I buy a Bond Lee product....ebay or a 'name' dealer, I expect a nice cane...and this just isn't one. BY the way, I read somewhere on this forum that you can't always buy direct from Bond Lee. Is that true ? |

That is if the seller was selling more then one and had no other inventory. The problems with ordering from Asia, sometimes the post is totally outrageous. Try Penguin Magic: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S17521 They have the other colors listed separately. |

Hayre, if your cane came in a black box with a top hat logo and the text "Magiclism" then it's a Bond Lee. But what you've described it does not sound like one. He makes a pretty darn good Cane.

Final Announcement!
Seo Magic just sent out an email announcing that the Tendo people found a box of Appearing Canes in a warehouse. Mahka Tendo Appearing Canes are now available with this last box of canes. If anyone is interested, I suggest you hurry and get what you need, as they will not be made any longer. Tendo company cannot find a metal craftsman to make then to quality required by Tendo. https://www.seomagic-usa.com/catalog/adv......&x=0&y=0 |

Many of the "newer" appearing canes--including the Harrakan--are harder to reset than the Walsh canes. Even the Harrakan cane, though, is much easier to reset than the newer ones.
You can see how effortlessly the Walsh cane is to reset at the beginning of Dale Salwak's performance from "Masters of Illusion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz--cF7kCuw The old timers always recommended treating the Walsh canes with gun oil. Repeat: GUN OIL! _Not "3-in-1." Here's MagicIan's comment from back in 2011: "most of the German and Walsh canes could rust if not treated with (a gun oil)" Retrieved from http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=113 so I wonder if that might help. But try at your own risk--starting first with a light treatment. ----- Amado "Sonny" Narvaez

It was stated that Tendo canes were made by Harrakan in the email announcement.
They do not need oil as the older canes Walsh and German models that are no longer available. |

Bond was here last week and demo'ed his canes. 2 twists and closed. There is a bit of a technique that he showed me, but simple enough and can be done on stage to vanish the cane. If it takes 2 minutes to collapse, the handling is not correct or you did not get a Bond Lee cane. |
