Just a brief post on a topic that has already been discussed on the Café but worth mentioning again....I am another very pleased owner of Jack Murray's Konundrum Kube (KK) and was very impressed with the detail and workmanship of this custom made illusion. From the dimensions all the way to the colors I selected for it (that's right he designed this using the colors I had selected)This is a very deceptive looking illusion.... Do yourself a favor if you are looking for an illusion to play in the round or on stage and still be totally deceptive, check out Jack Murray's Dream-Illusions.....His unique no-bolt setup for this illusion will have you setting this up in 2-3min. very user friendly, light weight yet sturdy.....as a previous owner of the mini-kub-zag, in my opinion this is as much or more of a startling illusion than the kub-zag, and not everyone is doing this in their shows at this point. Besides all of that about the illusion Jack is one heck of a nice guy to deal with in terms of pleasing his customers......keep up the good work Jack from another satisfied customer !!!!

Thanks Patrick for the kind words.
I hope to update my website soon, but until then the pics of the KK on my site are NOT the same as what I'm currently building. Those interested, please email me for the latest pics. Jack

I could not agree more! I love my KK, it was the second one built, and could not be more perfect for my show. It's extremely deceptive, even close up. I have been performing it for a year now with absolutely no problems. It's holding up quite well. If you want more info, let me know. I also own one of Jack's fire cages and 3 ATA cases he has built for me. Two words, GOOD STUFF!

As the owner of Jacks first Konundrum I can only agree with all of the above posts. Its been our show going on 18 months and is so incredible, as its in my opinion perhaps one of the top most deceptive illusions ever designed. Jack is awesome and for those who are looking for superior workmanship at incredible value he is your builder.

Hello ... I have a Kube and I love it !!!!! I performed it in front of a small test audience and they were blown away..... This weekend I will perform it on the streets of NYC in the HOWL Festival .. I will let you know how it goes. Jack was a pleasure to deal with and builds great stuff...... I knew it was going to be nice .....but not this nice............ It goes together in about 30 seconds... I'm not kidding !!! If you perform at banquets and other large group functions....this is important !! I need to set up and break down as fast as possible...... 30 seconds.... I timed it .

Okay, here is some testimony! I haven't even told Jack this story yet.
I am working at the Central States Fair in Rapid City SD yesterday doing 3 shows a day. We put together the KK backstage and rolled it out before the show. I walked off to grab something not knowing my wife did the same thing. Neither of us locked the casters (all of Jack's props have locking casters) and, you guessed it, the wind picked up and the prop rolled off the stage onto the ground. THIS IS A 4 FOOT DROP, I measured it! It made a really bad sound. Think of a car wreck, that's how it sounded. We moved everything backstage and surveyed the damage. MINOR! I had to throw a couple of new screws in one piece and bend some metal back into place. That's it! I used it 20 minutes later and it worked perfectly! I hope Jack reads this, cause he will flip. I don't think it was designed for the beating it took, but it took the beating none the less. Jack if you are reading this, we've done our best this year to destroy your wonderful props on tour. But they keep working just like you promised! Folks, 3 words...this guy rocks! His stuff is top notch. I will continue to have him build for me until I (or he decides to) retire! Keith Raymond PS I am working on video, trying to get it from a news crew that taped us earlier on our tour, it's slow going but I hope to have it in a couple weeks. Stay tuned!

Well.... I just performed th kube for the first time in public...
It was at the Howl Festival in NYC . There was a stage but I decided last min. to perform it on the ground surrounded ... my decision was right .... I got a huge crowd ...to come very close to the front of the stage ...... Most of the crowd was sitting far away ... but the act of doing something on the ground made people want a better look. I had a crowd of about 250 .. well I got great photos but the video is so so.......I will post some on my web site later this week... I am in the midddle of fixing the whole web site ... Thanks Jack for a great piece of magic !!!!!! The feedback after the show was crazy ...... The illusion was spectacular and people were offering me money for the secret... even the stage crew said it was one of the best they had seen........... |
