Is there anywhere one can find a comprehensive and detailed list of the illusions built and designed by the more current designers?

For example, would there be a way to find a list and description of the illusions created by Andre Kole?

Is there a list one can look at detailing which designers have the rights to different illusions?

For instance, which illusions Willie Kennedy, Bill Smith, ect. builds and have exclusive rights to?

This might help those who wish to buy and be ethical to do so more easily since they would have the information and be able to make an informed decision.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much, I appreciate the links and information.

I wish they were a little more detailed, perhaps containing a description and/or photograph so that potential buyers could better know if the title was what they were looking for or not, but I guess those who are interested could simply contact the designer/builder for more detailed information.

Thanks again.

Kyle,

Check out the inventors and builders websites I'm sure you'll find what you need.

Best,

Well it seams to me sometimes it´s not "simple". I contacted Bill Smith a week ago - and no answer yet.
A photo would be helpful. But sometimes the builders change their design and than you still wouldn´t know through a photo if it´s a legal one (when you buy a used illusion) or a rip-off. So contacting is the best way (if you get an answer, if you have time to wait, ...).

Something must be happening. Bill is VERY good on returning calls and answering e-mails. I would try again maybe he didn't get your message.

Thanks,

Also the reason people are not putting pictures on the net regarding some of the newer illusions is that people can look at, measure and build it themselves therby stealing the illusion.

A while ago people were saying that the email address posted on the site didn't work, or even bounced mail back to them. This address is valid as of the date of this post.

Bill Smith is the best, takes time for people, unlike other builders who seem not to have time for less known performers. ( sometimes they become well known, don't they get this.)
