Anybody know of person that could take on a task like this. I used this cage all the time until it had a malfunction. I want to use it again and not just look at it on the shelf. Thanks, Mike

preston eakins Regular user battle creek, michigan 184 Posts	Posted: Sep 9, 2010 03:32 pm 0 I didn't' want to start a new thread on this subject I was at a magic store recently and found a vanishing bird cage in the used section and knowing it is like 45 dollars I snagged it up for 10 however it has no instructions I have the cage and what appears to be an arm band that will never fit my arm lol with rope and a clip but no elastic as I am sure it needs it if anyone can help or send me some instructions or advice on how I can get this all together I would appreciate that. I know I don't have a lot of posts on here but to be honest a quick search and most of my questions are already been asked and answered so thank you all for the posts you have done in the past.

I'm sure he will have no problem in guiding you, since you bought the prop from him.

That is Pete Biro's idea as he has mentioned several times on the Café, and published in his old lecture notes. I never could overcome the line cutting into my thumb.
