Does anyone know where I can pick up a Zombie ball with Tommy Wonder's improvements? I can make one, but I'd rather not do all the experimenting and I like the needle idea, which you'll understand if you have his videos.

Oh my god, I think this is the first time I've ever seen you ask for help here on the forums!

Yeah, it's scary. I've never used a Zombie before, though, so I figure this would be a great place to ask. Like I said, I can modify a standard, but I really don't want too.

I'm not sure where you can find it, but I'll check around and get back to you . Have you seen the Naked Zombie performance? It's fascinating to watch. Zombie with no gimmick. Here's a link to a video. I want to learn this soooo bad.

Naked Zombie

You can find the DVD here.

EDIT - Sorry, I just re-read your post and I think I may have misunderstood you. Are you looking for the zombie ball AND the Wonder improvements or just the improvements?

Just the improved version really. It's a completely redesigned gimmick.

My god. That's incredible!
I love it.
It's almost like a mix between miming, comedy and illusion.

The only commercially available version of Tommy Wonder's modification is the Losander "Animated Sphere" which I think is still available.

If you mean the modified z-ball that is shown in The Books of Wonder and on the DVD's Visions of Wonder , then as far as I know there is not currently anyone manufacturing that version.

I have read that the manufacturing rights to Tommy Wonder's material have been purchased by Dik Koornwinder . If you can contact Koornwinder he might be able to tell you if he plans to make it available. (sorry I don't have Dik Koornwinder's contact info.)
