Where it Began - The Zig Zag

I think the moment I saw this 3D print file, this tiny magic shop was destined to happen.


The file is for a miniature Zig-Zag illusion, one of the most iconic props in stage magic, scaled down to 1:12ish. 



If you're a 3d printing type, they're available on Penguin Magic here - Creativity Lab 3d Print Files. I have all of them, and I've been very pleased with the ones I've printed out so far. But it was the Zig-Zag that first caught my eye and won my heart. 




The pieces are easy to print and the directions are super clear about how to put it all together. And it goes together VERY nicely, I think.


So yeah, the Zig Zag was probably what set this whole thing off, and it'll be the cornerstone of the whole shop (even though I think for display it'll be tucked off in a corner).

Just wait until I get the rest of the little illusions done. A few of them can be performed (and I will. With tweezers. :) This is going to be fun.) 

I'm so lucky to get to work on a project like this: combining magic and miniatures together. 

Back to the mini mines! Wishing you a very happy and magical Sunday!
