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!

I made this from cardboard tubes and MDF for the top and bottom. Plus fun gadgets and LED timer.

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.

Each cube wall breaks down into two pieces horizontally. They had to be lightweight for quick and easy setting and striking for a show at Bally's Casino Las Vegas. Made from Foam and wood.

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.
