wire flying rigs, magic tricks & special effects for stage.
ABOUT
What we do
We design, build and provide performer flying effects for theatre shows throughout the UK and Internationally.
Location
Based in our South London workshop we are well positioned to serve and support the West End & Southbank on a sameday service.
We have good public transport links, perfect for a harness fitting and test lift.
Equipment
We hold a vast stock of harnesses, winches, track, truss and associated rigging gear.
Safety and Testing
All of our equipment is designed specifically for performer flying, it is regularly and rigorously tested to the highest standards. We work closely with the performers, operators and staff, training them to make sure the effect is executed in a safe and repeatable manner.
Manufacture
No two shows (or theatre grids) are the same and we thrive on creating the perfect effect for your show. If we can't achieve the desired effect using our extensive inventory of kit, we will make it! Using the latest CAD/CAM software we design, turn, machine, surface finish, assemble and test every part before it leaves our doors.
Services
Our service starts with you when you first make an enquiry. We like to get involved as early as possible to create the best effect for you. A considerable amount of planning goes into every project we undertake, often the flying sequence, gag or illusion may only last thirty seconds to a minute but will require the collaboration and involvement of the director, scenic, lighting and video designers along with production management and venue staff.
We can produce 3D modelling of all our equipment that can be shared with the technical design teams.
Our specialist rigging technicians will then install the system, performing load testing and commissioning followed by training for the show team.
Once the performer(s) have completed their harness fitting they are introduced the fun world of stage flying! Our flying directors work with the show director and performer to achieve the desired effect safely. This is an exciting time but we always go slow and take our time to build the performers confidence and give them chance to get use to their new dimension of movement.
