Dear
Ventriloquism Enthusiast,
If you love the art of ventriloquism and want the next greatest
information source dealing with the subject of dummies and
ventriloquism, then this is the most important webpage you’ll read.
As you read every word of this webpage, I’m going to tell you about
a wonderful source of information that is truly fantastic, Greg Claassen’s
"McElroy Magic, Building A Replica". In fact, right at this
very moment you may be saying to yourself, “I’m not interested in a
book about dummy building”. Don’t fret...keep reading and you’ll be
pleasantly surprised.
Everything you may have already heard
about
Greg Claassen’s project,
“McElroy Magic Building A Replica”, is only partially true.
“McElroy Magic” is so much MORE than a book about building a McElroy
replica. It goes far beyond that.
As you know, I am an avid collector of hard figures as well as a
ventriloquism enthusiast. I have an extensive collection of figures,
only a small portion of my collection is on the Ventriloquist
Central web site.
Let me tell you a story.
Awhile back, Greg Claassen contacted me. He said he was working on a
project about the McElroy Brothers and how to build a McElroy
replica.
Since I own a few McElroy’s
and have knowledge about the
brothers, he asked if I had any pictures or information that I could
offer for his project.
I offered to help him in any way I could and proceeded to ask him
questions about his project. You see,
Greg has built six replica
figures.If you’ve seen some of his replica
figures, you know they are among the very best.
Greg Claassen
Greg was telling me the history of the McElroy Brothers,
how this project came to be, about his correspondence with George
McElroy,
and all the information he had come across.
The more he went on, the
more I was enthralled by his story. I was getting more and more
fascinated by the moment. I told him when this project is finished I
have to have a copy.
Well folks, the time has arrived.
I’m here to tell you it's finally ready and this is more than a “how to” guide. This
project is truly a work of art. It’s actually like getting
four
pieces of work all rolled up into one. It contains:
A historical perspective of the McElroy Brothers and how they did
things.
The personal story of trials and tribulations that Greg went
through.
A photography book, loaded with all kinds of photos that give you
a pictorial account of Greg’s journey (including rarely seen
pictures of Glenn & George).
AND…last but certainly not least, it’s an extensive “How To
Guide” with detailed drawings and pictures for building and assembly of a McElroy
Replica. You even get the “McElroy Way” scattered throughout the
book telling you how the McElroy did certain things to achieve these
magnificent ventriloquist figures.
So you see….this “Information Resource Manual” is so much more than
a “how to” book. "McElroy Magic" has 120 pages with such things as:
Little know historical facts and accounts about the McElroy
Brothers
A copy of an actual letter from George McElroy to Greg Claassen.
Some sound advice from dummy maker Patrick Justian.
Unique design of the McElroy style head and cradle assembly
What Clinton Detweiler had to say about Greg’s first McElroy
purchase.
An important lesson about the “settings” of a dummy’s eyes
The story behind Greg’s first McElroy (it was a surprised
purchase)
A copy of Glenn McElroy’s drawing of his eye design
The interesting design for the McElroy style case
Information about setting up the perfect shop
Many pictures from David Erskine, Dennis Alwood, Bob Isaacson,
yours truly and others.
The McElroy Way of doing things.
"McElroy Magic! is like sitting with George and Glenn at the
Saturday
night show at the Drawbridge after visiting Vent Haven with them.
And
now you're sitting with us. Yes, the common bond is our enthusiasm
for
their art. I thank you for getting it onto paper and into my
imagination. I will dream about McElroy Magic!.
If I had a hat I would take it off to you!
Thanks again for the adventure,”
--David Erskine
"Must say you do beautiful work and the book is exceptional! Great
diagrams and photos and a pleasure to read. Easily worth the price!"
--Gary Koepke
I have received this
incredible guide to building a McELROY replica.
The book is not only a step-by-step guide , but also
contains many color images of , not only the six
replicas, but other McELROY figures as well. Plus it's a
personal journey of discovery, and Greg's own personal
misgivings about ever attempting to build a replica of
the
wonderful AUTOMATA that have become George and Glenn's
lasting, living legacy.
IT IS AN AMAZING BODY OF WORK BY AN AMAZING AND TALENTED
ARTIST AND
ENGINEER.
I highly recommend this guide to everyone, whether you
ever attempt to build a McELROY figure or not.
--Bill Nelson
I just received my
newly revised McElroy book by Greg Claassen and I must
say that this book is even better than Greg's initial
product. All of the same great information, but
even MORE new photos - quite a few of which I've
never seen. GREAT STUFF! So, selfishly I'm glad
the new edit had to be done, because it is WELL WORTH
IT!
For any potential customers, do NOT hesitate to snag your copy. You will not regret it.
