   Another wonderfully crafted Vintage Abbott’s recreation from the talented Rocky Clements. This time Rocky has created one of my favorite effects: the Vampire Block.

   Last year Rocky Clements made a faithful recreation of Abbott’s Vampire and did a wonderful job.  However, there were a couple of issues I had with the original version and I shared my ideas with Rocky and some of those he has incorporated into this Deluxe version.

   The three significant changes he made are:

   • The weight of the block has increased from 11.6 oz to 16.8 ozs, that is a 45% increase in weight and it solves what I consider the biggest issue with the original version of Abbott’s Vampire.
   • The height of the block is a about 1/2″ taller to aid in the illusion (you can see this difference in the final photo).
   • The size of the gimmick is now specified so that you don’t have to guess at what is the correct size any more!  If you know the effect you will immediately know what I am talking about here.

   After playing with this version I can safely say Rocky has now created one of the best all around versions of the Vampire Block ever created and I’m pleased to see this beauty on my site.

   An amazing recreation and improvement Rocky – great job 🙂
