TamaSudare

Intro:

Research I did in creating a Tamasudare...

First thing I learned is that the name is actually "Nankin Tamasudare".

What is it according to Wikipedia?

Links to sources for the prop:

• Randi Rain (maker magician) makes one version.
• Randi Rain Rant over cost.
• Bill Cook apparently got his from MagiKraft.
• This one looks almost like ours. (But what is 14,000Y in dollars?)

Links to performances:

• CookJPN offers a class, if you happen to be in Japan.
• PopJapan has a very silly performance, if you are into that vibe. The one thing it does demonstrate is the use of a second Tamasudare by an assistant at one point in the story...
• EONET has the story written out with illustrations. (Not video)
• I kind of like the version that Richard Hatch does. (And a second recording)
• Randi Rain has a sort of stylized presentation with no accompanying story.
