2 inches shorter... Surely that makes it a different illusion. I'm willing to bet he cut 4 inches off the legs. Added 2 to the base and voila! A piece of $%&*.
Unfortunate that such a beautiful effect is butchered by the builder, not the performer. I suppose the real question now becomes, was Christian Farla aware that he was purchasing a terrible knock off? J |

Just to add to the confusion, we were told that our Origami belonged to Wayne and we are told it is an original John Gaughan (It also has his sticker on the mirror and on the flight case)

When we had our Origami built by Gaughan and picked it up in person, there were no stickers of any kind placed on it.
Can others chime in and verify the presence or absence of any stickers? Kevin

Gauhan is known to sometimes write or sign the inside of his props. . .

Most of the time there is nothing on the props to indicate it came from him. However if you ask for it..that is different.
Some of Mark Wilsons old props were signed in pin-striping. Abb Dixon's stuff had small engraved plaques that read--Handcrafted for Abb Dixon by John Gaughn. But the majority of stuff---nada.

Why not call and ask John if he ever put stickers on stuff?

Every builder leaves his mark .. and I'm not talking about tags or labels. The materials and the actual construction of a prop varies greatly between builders. After many years in the business it's pretty easy to determine who built what.
Photos online can be deceiving .. and sometimes you have to examine things in person. Steve |

Good advice Steve. As a fellow craftsman I know what you mean! Sometimes something so simple as a glue line or inner bracing can give you an insight into who built what.
I'd suggest someone get to the bottom of these knock offs. J |

the worst model; hard to build worse...Butcher job at its best And unfortunatly, I'm pretty sure it is a Tora model...OR a supplier of Tora, cause I have seen this on a catalogue with others props from this manufacturer. It has ''Origami'' only in the name. |

Dang. The smaller picture, particularly, gives it away.

I've seen some bad work, even some amateur illusions that are just atrocious. These is the worst I have seen in a long time. It just gross...
Ugh. J |
