That is an absolutely beautiful prop! I have NO idea how that is done! I love it!

Sadly Wellington Enterprizes has gone out of business, Bill retired. I've had this trick since 2007 and have loved it. But it's starting to wear out a little, and might need to be replaced after a couple more years or so. Just before closing, I asked Bill about it. He said something about the rights for this and his other tricks being transferred to another maker. Anyone know about this, if some other maker now has the rights to build it?

This is the best guillotine .better then Lester Lake .

Bill does make some excellent props and illusions.

It is outstanding.

Update. I mentioned above in 2015 that Bill had retired. But a couple years ago I found out that he was partly back in business again. I actually took my see through guillotine to him for some repairs (after 10 years of use it had suffered a lot of wear and tear, but still worked). I'm not sure if he's still in business now, but last I heard he was.

The website is still operational for whatever that's worth.
