Anyone ever see those DVD's of Crystal ball illusions they sold last year?

I was wondering if anyone has used them, what do you think of them, and if you have seen any for sale this year.

I put one in a prop last year, and I thought it was good.

Just curious,

I remember seeing them last year and thinking they were cool but a little too expensive. You need a TV to use with it!

I saw it last year and bought into it. Haven't set any of it up though, but the display in the store looked really cool.

If anyone is interested in seeing the one I made, go to http://www.robbybuilder.com/crystalball.html


You are right, Zombie, you do need a TV. I used a small 19"color
(Tran)Sylvania. It cost about $130, but then again, We use it for the kids room off season.

Maybe an old Computer monitor could be used instead..Hmmm

You do need a tv, but I've found that they are fairly easy to come by. I've found 2 or 3 small tv's for free. All you need is the monitor, so when the cable part breaks, people throw them out. Thats when you can find them.

That is far out Doc. I love the idea of having the ghoul holding the crystal ball. I bought the setup on clearance at Party City last year for a few dollars each, and bought the plexi this year when Party City accidentally put out last years clearance stuff and forgot to mark the prices back up, lol. Now I can't wait to try it, but I'll never have time to fit it in.

Oh wow, that is a fantastic effect! Since we don't have any of those cool Halloween stores around here I've never seen that before. Excellent ghoul too Dr. M...Thanks for sharing those pics! Now I want one too, sheesh.
