Vanishing Bird Cage

[haroldross]

I'm getting back to work on my vanishing bird cage. I keep running into problems with it. I recently came across some information about the different styles of the vanishing bird cages- the flexible (Abbotts) and the rigid cage like a Lindhorst.

The style of the one I have is supposedly the worst one out there. Mine is from India (a poor copy of the Milson-Worth Cage, which in itself is not very good). It snags on the sleeve quite easily and can rip your arm to shreads if you are not careful (maybe I should stick to the cup and nail trick). Tommy Wonder in one of his books, DVDs or lectures, tells how to modify the cage to work better. I have the same style as he uses. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the modifications that he makes to the cage?

I really want to get this to work. If anyone knows of a source for a 'Lindhorst' style cage, please let me know.

Thanks to all!

Hi there,
Did you ever find the information you were looking for?
I don't know where to find a Lindhorst Cage at a good price but might be able to find my copies of TW Book of Wonder, if that would help.

I haven't really found what I'm looking for. It hasn't been a number one priority.

With all the kid shows I'm doing, I really would like to get this effect down. If you could locate the TW book, that would be a great help.

Thanks,
Harold
