Escapism
Bizzaro By design has been REALLY busy. We are part of another endeavor called Test Subjects. (You can check out our Facebook Here) Test Subjects was formed after playing a couple of escape rooms and realizing this was an awesome idea and we wanted to be part. It’s like magic, videos games and other nerdy […]
Jumping All Over The World
Last year I got to go to Europe to consult on a magic series. Today that magic series came out. You can see it Here. My job as a consultant is really “problem solver”. If something breaks, or needs to be fixed on the fly, I have to be ready for that. It happened a […]
We Control the Horizontal!
What do you think might be more challenging? Creating magic for TV or live stage? After creating magic for TV shows such as Wizard Wars on Syfy, The Carbonaro Effect and most recently Cake Wars I can say they both have their own challenges. Something that has to be performed live has to be bullet […]
That Tingly Feeling…
When you create magic you tend to try a lot of different things to try and find a solution. It means a LOT of trial and error. A lot of them kind of work but you know deep down it’s not the right path. Then you will have a flash of inspiration and you have […]
Greetings Mr. Phelps
When you are a prop maker there is nothing more satisfying than a client who LOVES what you make them. It’s even better when you are proud of the job you did of said prop as well. We were recently hired to make a thing (I don’t think I can show it to you just […]
Pros and Cons
One of the best thing about being a consultant and creating magic for others is seeing the reaction it can get, especially when it does the job it was intended to do. The downside of course is no one will ever know you are the man (or woman) behind the curtain. It’s like the chicken […]
Hooray for alphabetical order!
It’s nice to see your name up in lights… or the very least a sans serif font for about 2 seconds at the end of a TV show you consulted on. The best part about being on set of a show like Wizard Wars is that you get to see everything from start to finish. […]
New Year, New Jobs
It’s 2015 and we already have our first custom order of the year. That also means playing with new materials to fit the job. What you see below is a silicone mold containing a hand moldable plastic. Humans have made some fascinating stuff and finding some crazy new invention that fits your needs has a […]
Making magic la la la
One of the best thing about creating magic for others is seeing the reactions it gets from others. When you do something for a living that you enjoy (and get paid for it) then it really isn’t work at all. It’s even better when the performer is gracious enuff to tell others you helped out. […]
A brand new Bizzaro By Design
Well it’s about damn time I say! We have been trying to find the time to re-design the site and it’s finally occurred. With a new site comes new content with more on the way. We’ve added all sorts of new photos of props we’ve made and even let you peek behind the curtain at […]
