Custom Props For TV, Film & Stage Productions
I've created and built magic and illusion props and gags for the Magic fraternity for over 20 years. Now I'm offering my prop making services to the TV, Film and Theatrical industry for Union and Non-Union productions. Below are some of the props I recently made using a variety of materials and techniques.

Flaming Hand & Rose
I built these props for Taylor Swift's live performance on her AMA appearance on ABC. The main element of this prop was safety. She nailed it!
Mega Bomb
I made this from cardboard tubes and MDF for the top and bottom. Plus fun gadgets and LED timer.
Cactus Attack!
I hand sculpted this Cactus out of foam. Our team at FXPerts installed a hydraulic arm to attack Kevin Hart.
Taylor Swift - AMA Awards
Reno 911 - Feature Film
Me Time - Feature Film
Cardnado
Lobby photo booth
This was a lobby photo booth for a magic show at Harrah's Casino - Laughlin, NV.
Appearing Cookie Castle
Sesame Street Live Tour
This pop-up Castle is made from sheet aluminium, 40 mini hinges and pop rivets. Once I covered it with Tempo cloth, the art dept made them look like giant chocolate chip cookies.
Pop-up Puppet Stage
Reno 911 - Feature Film Paramount
This little stage telescopes down into the trunks below. I added the twinkling lights to give it an extra flair. The art director liked the addition.
Made with Steel, Gold Lame' and crushed red velvet.
Lightweight Stunt Bike
Reno 911 - Feature Film Paramount
I had to make 2 of these bikes safe enough to land on a stunt actor. I bent PVC pipe and foam to keep it light and safe.
Heading 1
Cube Lighting Light Wall
Bally's - Las Vegas
Each cube wall breaks down into two pieces horizontally. They had to lightweight for quick and easy setting and striking for a show at Bally's Casino Las Vegas. Made from Foam and wood.
The Amazing Hat
Lobby Photo Booth
I made for the Annual Hocus Pocus show in Albuquerque, NM. Made with Styrofoam, textured cloth and other magical elements.
Pasta Boy Costume
I made this fun Halloween costume for my son.
Made from foam tubes, pool noodles and styrofoam.
Sideway Stage
Lobby Photo Booth
I made for the Annual Hocus Pocus show in Albuquerque, NM. It's a combination of foam, crushed velvet and some other magical elements.
Disintigrating Stool
Touring Theater Show
This piano stool is sat on and moved around throughout the show. In the end, it disintegrates with a light touch of a finger.
Last Straw - ABC TV Game Show
I had fun building numerous props for this show at the Arete shop. All the props had to be lightweight and safe. (These are a small sampling of the many props I made for this show.)
The Knight helmets are made from Sono Tube and various other materials. The rocks were hand-carved out of foam and the barrels are made from foam strips. The egg had to break apart and reset.
Magician's folding Pad
I was commissioned to create a magician's Close up pad (Performing surface) that could be folded quickly and stay on the piano without hindering the piano player in any way. Worked nicely.
Neck Saver Computer Stand
Made from Acrylic to keep my son from always looking down at the computer.
