is this Rondini's tripod?

[The Amazing Beaumanz]

It has to be. I saw Michael P. use his this past weekend.

I didnt think Rondini's was aluminum... I'll ask him tonight if he shows up if his is for sale and I'll let ya know cuz he didn't answer his phone just now. I think Patrick's was aluminum maybe he left a back-up here or something and now it's for sale.

[FreeCells]

Rondini didn't show up for lottery tonight. Nor has he been answering his phone. But I doubt it is his because he needs 4 guys to help him pick the thing up and usually all four guys struggle... I'm pretty sure his is not aluminum.

[Frisbee]

who is this Don Perry???
Anyone seen him work? Does he also possibly do a tripod?

He points people to the keywest site to see the tripod, but that is rondinis that is shown and as far as I can tell, Rondini is not selling his tripod, nor is Michael Patrick.

[RINGON]

Hello, I'm Don Perry. I own and designed the tripod listed. I peformed on it 6 yr's ago in Bolder, Chicago, Key west for a while. I made a few $, Many friends and could sell it for scrap. It's an opportunity to buy something of good quality at a fare price. Best Wishes.

[FreeCells]

Well there you go, that answers that. But he still didn't answer the first question as to the pictures... I looked all over the Mallory website and I did not see any tripod pics for Don's rig.

[toddvarious]

what is the exact weight of the tripod?

[jeep caillouet]

I remember Don. He and Mark Riggs got in to a big fight over Gazzo at lottery one day. As I remember he started out in Key West or pert nearly. He built his try pod Copying Rondini and Michael PatricK. That summer there was 3 try pod escape acts and a couple of jugglers at Mallory, I was on the road that summer.Those things are made out of heavy tub or pipe steal, and they weigh a lot.

[jeep caillouet]

P.S. Don's may be aluminum I really don't know. He hasn't worked at Mallory in several years.

[RINGON]

Jeep,
I sometimes shed a tear or two just remembering what a pain in the ass I was then. Thank u for the reminder. Rondini is the real deal. That said, The rig is clean aluminuim, no paint. weight is 125 lb's. I'm in town and may stop by tonight. Best. P.S. remember the glass and bed of nails?

[RINGON]

Gazzo never thanked me, the prick.

[Butterfly Man]

Gazzo never thanked me, the prick.

If I had a nickel ...

[jeep caillouet]

Huh Butterfly man, Gazzo don't have to thank anyone,last I remember he was saying he was God.Or at least he thought he was Gods gift to all magicians, by God. As I remember it he was on the short end of the stick, that is until God sent Mark Riggs to deliver him from an ass wooping, thank God!

[Frisbee]

125 pounds...who on earth would want to lug that thing around with them. my current tripod...also aluminum is weighing in at 35

[FreeCells]

This guy probably wouldnt mind, 125 lbs. would be nuthin for him. Thats probably how much the glasses on his face weigh. Heck, they are almost half the size of his car! ... He wanted a car like Gazzo's, I told him he wouldn't fit, so he had to prove me wrong... now look at him, lol... he aint gettin out of there for nuthin!

Jim,

Should I have posted in the subject titled BLA, Bla, bla?

Jim,

[jeep caillouet]

Miles that looks like Yankee Jack driving Gazzo's car! Gazzo sent me an e-mail he is to be back in town on the 24th. He might want his car back.

[jeep caillouet]

Frisbee, I think you have it all wrong. That tri pod is about 15 ft, tall and one hoist himself up side down in a straight jacket for an escape act .

[Frisbee]

i understand...

i do the upside down escape and was initially interested in finding out more about the tripod.

i was told to check out the link below for pics of the tripod, which then showed rondini's tripod and not actually the one for sale.

also posted is that the tripod is made of aluminum, if it is aluminum I do not think it should weigh 125 lbs.

the tripod I use now weighs in at 35 - 40 lbs
My old tripod was a pain in the ass to move, it also weighed 125 pounds and was made of steel and not aluminum and it took a hand truck to move it around.

I also do not believe the price is worth it, a new tripod to be designed and built new would run about 1,000 - 1500$

maybe it would be worth it if I saw an actual picture of the tripod and its design and not vague answers and faulty links to images.

[RINGON]

No, I understand.

For sale. One large Aluminum Holiday tree. Heavy Duty, 15' tall with 7.5' base breaks down into 7.5' sections. I don't have a scanner to list a picture but a minature, rough example may be seen at www. frisbee show. com. Imagine, Hanging in the air instead of laying on the ground. It's 125lbs, You may have to excersize before attempting to move it. Keeps a crowd in awe, just watching you strain. It's also magic. If you climb it, your able to shit sea shells with names on them, they may be miss spelled. Cheers. Sorry, if I've misslead anyone. Don

[RINGON]

Ya, it's over priced but what the hell. If you act now, I'll toss in the lights! 2,000.

Hey Ringon, I was just trying to make light of the "who on earth would want to lug that thing around " comment, not trying to dog your item in any way. Please do not take it personally; I have nothing against you or your item for sale and I hope you sell it. I'm sure your buyer will easily look past the humor if they are seriously interested.

[jeep caillouet]

Well if you have seen my performance lately then you know I do escape in my dog show routine nitely. So I have a little to say on this issue . I've seen the thing and it is 15 ft. tall and it hoist one self 15 ft. in there air. You know come to think of it I saw Rondini accidentally fall one time from his tripod, " I bet he don't that trick again ,ouch" Any one remember that one?

[jeep caillouet]

Freecells , that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!

[RINGON]

I hope you are well, Jeep. I send you and yours my very Best. I believe I will see you in the winter. Show time! Show time. Where do the Big shows set Up? Spill a beer on Gazzo for me.
