Thanks for the post Aloy.

Just to address some queries I've had by PM:

Only 1 piece of each item is available. Both items are available for collection immediately. Just arrange a time for payment and pickup at the same time. I can meet you to pass you the E2, but you'll have to arrange for transport if you want the Diabolo Chair (Despite what the reviews say, it's really heavy - hey it's got to be stable to levitate a person!)

Elevator 2 (Retail: USD$200; asking for SGD$250)
This is still in its packaging. The demo's really good but I recommend you only pick this up only if you're prepared to put in a modicum amount of practice in perfecting the levitation. It does require practice and dedication (just like any magic worth your time). But it does look incredible performed well and has very good angles - can even be viewed from the front from a distance. You can check out Peter Loughran's description of the E2 here:
The Description of the Elevator 2

Here's a demo video of the E2:

The Diabolo Illusion (Retail: USD$2480; asking for SGD$2700)
This one is only for SERIOUS Stage illusionists only. It's really a self-contained levitation on the stage. It's got really good angles for such an effect. Check out the writeup on Hank Lee:
Diabolo illusion Info
The prop has been used once on stage. But it's in mint condition and works like a charm. The picture shows exactly how the illusion works. The chair is heavy though and you'll need transport to lug it around. If you're doing stage work and were looking to add that killer item to end your stage illusions, this might be it. You can control when to levitate and how long to stay up. Considering the retail price in US and the shipping for the weight of the item, I'm guessing it's a decent deal.
If I owned a car, I'd buy it myself... :P

Again, please be reminded that both are serious professional props; don't buy them just for fun or to satisfy your curiosity. They're worthy additions to any serious professional's repertoire.

Well, back to work... work... work...

PM me if there's anything you want to know; as I'll only be checking my messages at night after work, I'll be working on the TIME stamp of each message to determine who gets the item if I get more than one request for the item. The earlier bird of course! :)

Many thanks for the interest shown...
Here's to clarify some doubts:

Diabolo Illusion is totally SELF-CONTAINED. You do not need to wear any special clothing or special hookups. You ONLY need to SIT on the chair. YOU control the TIME you want to levitate (so you can have the chair sit in plain view the whole show until you're ready to use it). And you can also control HOW LONG you stay up there.

Of course, there are also NO wires or rigging connected to the chair during the levitation. Just prop it on stage and you're good to go.

After numerous requests, I got permission to do a quick and simple video of the diabolo levitation in action. My friend helped me with it - he was fiddling with a deck of cards while levitating.

NOTE: Although he came down almost immediately, it is possible to stay suspended for an infinate amount of time.
