Classic Escape

This is the solid chrome version of this effect and I’ve always liked. I think it was called electronic release in the UK. So named for the speed for which you can release and shackle yourself. It’s Great!

The Absolute Perfect Kids Effect!

I have been performing different versions of Harry Leat’s Masterpiece: Run Rabbit Run for over 30 years. It has never failed to drive the kids wild. Some of the versions I have used have been poor, but most have been good enough. But none of them come close to this new item from Chance Wolf over in the Hen Coop at Wolf’s Magic. Wow, does this unit work smoothly and look at those vibrant colors (my photos don’t even get close to doing this amazing piece of work justice).

Chance Wolf makes Magic the way it should be made – this truly will last a lifetime and the moving parts are perfect. The Running Wolf slider is incredibly smooth – and easy to operate with one hand. All the controls are right where you want them. The doors even stay closed using tiny magnets.

Did I say how vibrant the colors are? The routine makes perfect sense too. One of the problems with the original Run Rabbit Run is you have this fairly basic prop and you have to make up a story as to what it represents. Jack Hughes’ Run Bonzo Run was the first version that I am aware of that tried to have a richer theme around the basic idea. There have been others since then – one of my favorites is the poorly made, but still effective, Run Cookie Monster Run from Hank Lee. But with Run Wolf Run Chance has come up with the perfect story and rationalization for why the Wolf keeps running back and forth.

So from the smoothness, the colors, the routine, and all the little touches, there is no doubt in my mind this is truly is The Absolute Perfect Kids Effect!

The first run sold out faster than the Wolf could run back to his home, but a second run is being built as we speak. Even if you aren’t a kids performer get one of these beauties.

Thank-you Chance for waving your magic wand over this classic.

Most Highly Recommended!

I’ve always liked this effect.

I don’t know where this principle originated but I’ve owned the same basic effect with props from Alan Warner, Wild Magic, and this one. I think I prefer this one as it uses real dominoes, that are ungimmicked.

The effect is simple and clean: the spectator mixes the dominoes and lays them out in domino fashion ane each time you predict what the two end dominoes will be.

The method is easy to do, but not easy to figure out and the prediction you make can be different every time. In fact, you could easily do this effect 3 times in a row, each time predicting a different outcome as they mix and lay out all of the dominoes. For the finale you could even be blindfolded and still determine the final outcome, without seeing or touching the dominoes.
