Super x plus

Postby Guest » January 14th, 2007, 6:57 am

Is there anyone out there selling or building the super x plus illusion? I think it is also known as the Harbin Walkaway Suspension.
Any help in locating this effect is appreciated.

Peace,
Elliot

The bestof that type is Blaney's ladder version. However if you want the real Harbin type go to someone like John Gaughan or Bill Smith... they'll build a perfect one.
Stay tooned.

I performed this in my renaissance festival act for 16 years. I still have the one I built from the original Harbin plans. I made several improvements on the original. If you contact John Gaughan or Bill Smith, please ask them to contact me, and I will supply them with the information at no charge.

Not that I think I know more about building illusions than they do, but I found a few flaws in the original Harbin plans and worked the kinks out over time.

Once you have it, I'll be happy to share information on how I presented it.

Actually, Blaney's other suspension, which he originally called Suspension 2001, is a very good illusion. I think he calls it Suspension 2003 now.

I'd build it myself if I had the plans, but they are not available. I was hopping that I could just buy one like the regular Super - X at Abbott's. :rolleyes:

The Blaney Suspensions are the best.
Nothing can come close as far as I am concerned, especially my checkbook. :eek:
There's the rub.
This is all going to boil up to cost. If I could afford the Ladder Levitation (and all the trimmings) I'd buy a new car. (by order of the wife.)

I'll be contacting Bill Smith and John Gaughan this week as well as a few other builders. It's still gonna come down to the cost of the thing. I may have to settle for a bit less than I would like. Such is life. :)

Who is the Guest that performed this for 16 years and has added some improvements? I'd like to communicate with you concerning your findings. Here is a video that I posted of my friend Dick Williams performing the illusion that he had Abbott's build for him back in the 70's:

For anyone who owns a Super X Suspension, you'll find nine Demons that need to be Super X-orcised when you are performing with the illusion. They are described HERE for those interested: http://www.magicnook.com/MiniMysteries/MM3-X-XorcismOfTheSuper-X.htm

Note that this information is only available to someone who owns (and uses) a Super X and who can prove it as described.

The Special Board Handling is made possible with Harbin's Super-X Plus.
