At the College Park show I picked up something called a Magic Tool. I
watched Kim Boals tying flys with this thing and was intrigued. Lou
was watching also and had a much closer perch than I. In fact, Lou
was so close and breathing so hard (Kim is VERY easy to look at) that
he kept blowing her feathers off the Magic Tool. I think Lou must
have had a great deal of experience with fan dancers at some point in
his long sordid career! :-D But, back to the tool; there are three
dowel pins of different diameters included with the Magic Tool. The
sparse instruction sheet only says they are for cutting tinsel to a
choice of three uniform lengths. Anyone have a clue as to how this is
supposed to work? The Magic Tool can be found at the
www.petitjean.com web site. I tied up a beetle pattern using
iridescent green skinned foam and grouse hackle/black Krystal Dubbing
brush made in the Magic Tool. The things makes up a darned nice
dubbing brush.
