On those few days when Hardy Family Estate ("Wee
Coli") is without staff. They seem
to coincide with days the circus or a particular seedy carnival is in
town. When they are not at work, the
family must fend for itself.
We are not
patient people. The microwave oven's
timer has never made it all the way to zero seconds. Many a time we have cracked the enamel from
our teeth chomping on undercooked Minute Rice.
We like stuff now, not later.
This pressing psychological condition is ever-more evident
today as this confession is scribed.
We estimate there are three more days until we receive the
very latest masterpiece from Chance and Shelly at Wolf's Magic, Run Wolf Run.
We have purchased several items from Wacky Wolf Productions
and have never been disappointed — not even a little. Nay, we've actually been able to admit that
the final product was well worth the wait.
As a former babysitter once said about our sister, "Hey, that's
saying something."
(It turns out "it" wasn't really saying anything
at all — just shifting on the rotisserie rack).
We have previously purchased Run Rabbit Run, Run Dragon
Run, Slither Snake Slither, Divide Cell Divide (Close-Up Trick), and
the mind-numbing Slide Snail Slide.
They all had one thing in common – we don't own them any
more. The front of these props (the part
the audience is supposed to see) did not impress audiences – and the back of
the trick sure didn't impress us.
So why would we spend our money on yet another trick showing
a mischievous creature running between poorly painted doors?
Well, actually, we may not bright but at least we're blessed
with a short memory.
But that question has no relevance here.
Today, we're more excited than mom at a troop-ship arrival.
Mr. Wolf advised us that the method is not like our previous
tricks.
He wrote:
Mechanically inspired by the
Classic Run Bonzo Run created by the
late great Jack Hughes. We have taken this effect and created a prop that is
Visually and Mechanically SUPERIOR to any Run
Rabbit Run type effect in magic history!The classic plot has been changed
and now stars our very own "Wacky Wolf" as the mischievous "Egg
Bandit" who raids the Chicken Coop trying to steal eggs to pay his back
rent! We have upgraded the mechanics and structure to last for YEARS of
performance!
So the back side works great but how is the front side? That's the part the audience usually sees
if you're not in a crazed delirium from roughing fluid fumes. Well, you can see for yourself by looking at the pictures on the Wolf Magic site . It looks to us like the design and execution will exceed the high standards set by Wolf
Magic.
We are so thankful for inventive and creative people like
Chance and Shelly. Their dedication to
quality in concept, design, manufacture and testing makes them special among
magic dealers. We put them in the
special echelon occupied by George
Robinson, Jr. at Viking / Collector's Workshop, and Steve Axtell at Axtell Expressions, Rick Fisher at FAB Magic, and Tim Ellis and Sue-Anne Webster.
Two or maybe three days more and we'll have the very latest
from the very finest. We'll put the
review right here on Quinlan's Inside Magic just as soon as possible.
We take solace from two refrigerator magnets in the Hardy
kitchen: "Good things come to those who wait" and "Only the good
die young."
So we figure we're not going anywhere anytime soon.
If you are interested in getting your own Run Wolf Run, we suggest you order
today. The quantities are limited
(they're all hand-made) and we understand the product announcement has been
well-received.
As of this writing, there were only five left in stock.
Mr. Wolf tells us Run
Wolf Run is complete, in stock and ready to ship. In fact, we
received our notice of shipment within six hours of our order.
Head over to www.wolfsmagic.com for pictures and a full
description. Look for our review later this week — we hope!!
