HI guys, just one quick question.
Someone know who build this illusion? Or where to get the rights?
Is in this video at minute 4.11

Is an old concept but is nice the idea of using the neon. Just to know if is an original creation or someone has the rights to build it.
Thanks

Isn't it just the Wakeling prop but with neon bulbs rather than spikes? Plans can be found in the Magic of Alan Wakeling. I would suspect that Chris Murphy built this prop, but that is just a guess. I don't think that anyone could possibly own the rights to changing spikes to neon bulbs, that seems a bit ridiculous to claim those type of rights. But that is just my opinion.

Here is the full version of the illusion:

I LUV it also.

Don't break it down, roll it into it's own case!

So as far as rights, buy the book. It is even available in soft cover. (!!!)

As far as neon I don't think that is an issue. I have a Gaughan Sword Box with lighted swords, Chalet had their Wonder Window, their is the Light Bulbs Thru Girls (bulbs replacing the spike in the Spike Mystery) so interchanging neon or bulbs for swords has been done.

John Taylor had or has one.. I can't remember.. We once talked about it.

I like it!!!! Great use of the Harbin, Little by Little Method!!!!

But having said that, I have never seen a spiker combined with that method, even the old bulbs thru girl, looked like they were going thru the lady, this IS different!!!
Whomever put the spiker together with the little by little deserves to be paid rights!!

My 2 cents!!

Vinny

The wakeling version used lighted spikes just like the video here this illusion is identical to the original

This is in the Steinmeyer book about Alan Wakeling.

Great book.

Taylor

Yes it is, in Wakeling page 329, I take my 2 cents back!!


Vinny

Thanks for the help guys!

Vinny, I think it should be 25 cents.....you have to read an entire thread! LOL

It's called D'Lite, you can buy it from Rocco...

HUH???

B

LOL, Thanks Blair!!!! I have the original copy from 1993 when it was $65 and probably haven't looked at it in many years, time to re read the whole book!!!

Vinny

I just pulled out my copy also and see where Alan mentioned several ways to do the "neon" part.

Just think for a disounted book ($15.00) it has some great illusion ideas!

B

Now we have the low voltage "neon" "sticks" for underneath cars, (which we didn't in 1993). I'm seriously going to build one of these!

--Vinny

Low voltage "neon" sticks?? Anyone use them here?

B

Just joking Blair, on the youtube clip he started the illusion with D'Lite to light up the neon spikes... Just my silly sense of humor.

I got it Swann101 and thought it was quite funny...

I missed that!! LOL I guess I've watched it too many times!
