Dear Walter, Suspension 3001 and Great White Hoop both arrived very safely thanks to good packaging. There is absolutely nothing that I can add to what has been said before: the props are superb, not only in their manufacture, but the imagination that created them. This is creativity to be cherished. The detail is astounding when one reads the instructions and had I invented half of it I would NEVER have released it to anyone else. I have told so many people that it was perfect in every way and the instructions were also perfect. It was the only illusion I ever bought that I didn't 'adjust' or change. It did bring into focus something I have been telling magicians who complain about the cost of tricks for years... Whatever it costs, if you perform something over and over again that cost is reduced every time you do the trick. A $1000 trick only costs that much the first time you do it. The second time it has only cost you $500. The tenth time you do it the cost has gone down to $100 per show. Man oh Man.. have I had my money's worth out of your illusion. A Long Overdue Thank You Paul Daniels
