Cane Dance Black

Product Information

Next came the Makrame cane and boy, what a stunning cane that is - but at a price. It was so light that you felt that it would float on it's own and the quality and craftsmanship was something to behold. A magic wand is obviously a magician's prop, but the audience accepts it as something that "comes with the territory." Cups and balls are also pretty obviously magicians' props. Linking rings are obvious magicians' props. The giant watches that Richard Ross produced in his FISM-award winning act are "magicians' props." The balls that magicians produce between their fingers are props.

I have seen some fabulous Dancing Cane performances, and it had nothing to do with the Cane, it was the performer and his work. If it is a normal looking cane that glows in the dark, then it is only painted with fluorescent paint which anyone can do with the paint products on the market. If you know how fluorescent works, you will then know you need control of all the stage and house lights in a theater to use this feature. If you perform in venues that you can control all the lighting, then you will get some good responses from the audience when you lower the lights. There wasn't a David Mann cane available which has been recommended by Lash. No offence, but I would disagree with Lash on the number of points that he made. From what I hear it's a very well made cane but it needs quite a bit of balancing work which will add more weight.

Ehrlich’s Leviwand Method

Dancing Cane, Dancing Putters, Dancing Wands, Dancing Brooms, Dancing Candles -- etc. all have a common problem. Too easy to do -- very hard to do well and know when to stop. My personal philosophy is that it isn't always bad if something looks like a magician's prop. Magicians are _supposed_ to have a few esoteric pieces of apparatus that the audience accepts as having magic properties, ranging from a magic wand in legerdemain to an athanor in historical alchemy to a magic lamp or magic ring in stories and legends. What is your motivation for doing a dancing cane? Are you (like me) an elderly character who dreams his cane into flight? Or are you a Fred Astaire, needing a dancing partner as part of a romantic set leading into transforming the cane into a real girl/boy? How do you react when the cane "comes to life" ans what does your face look like when it goes out of sight?

There was a dancing cane sold in the mid-60's--as far as I know, the only dancing cane I can remember from those days--that was a two-piece plastic cane. The knob was made of wood. The lower half of the cane had a wooden peg with a slot in it. This lower half would be inserted into the top half to complete the cane. I've always been curious about who manufactured and distributed that cane. Does this cane sound familiar to anyone?

Anyone know of a dancing broom? A prototype is being worked on for me, but if there's already one on the market, no need to reinvent the wheel...any suggestions?"
