I have a Spider backdrop…but set up is a PAIN…and
it’s fairly ‘plain’ looking…
With your Magic Backdrop system are the materials attached to the backdrop frame…or are they separate? Is there a center
opening in the backdrop to walk through? Also if I order one…how long is the wait? Thanks…Sincerely, Cody S.
Fisher Master Comedy Magician Great questions. As an entertainer, I know exactly
what you are talking about.... And this is partly how this backdrop came to be.
Yes, the materials are attached to the
framework, so that when it is unrolled and opened, everything is all ready to go, and adjustable in height. The curtain layers
are sewn directly onto the background as well, this allows for a painless set-up plus the pleats give volume as if you were
on stage. Additional swag and tiebacks are available to create different looks. The support is in the center to allow this
backdrop to set up in the most challenging environments. Being that we customize, a center opening is available for an additional
charge, but not recommended. Current turnaround is about two weeks. Hope this helps. -Jeff Jones

Your backdrops look so much better in person.Good website, but your backdrops look sooo much better
than the pictures portray. They look soooo much better in real life. -Garls Thanks for the comment, this is why we sell out at every convention, IBM, Kidabra, Twist & Shout
ext. Currently we don't push web sales since "word of mouth" and conventions keep our team working non- stop.
We plan to keep this custom production in the USA. The site will be an ongoing work in progress, so please check back.

OutsideAs will all backdrops, this really depends on outside
conditions. I know of many entertainers that use this backdrop outside under crazy environments (as mentioned
on the magic cafe' and other forums).
I use it outside all the time if I have a wall or structure behind me (even
a tent wall is fine). Since the sides easily fold backwards, it helps prevent wind from getting behind it. I wouldn't
risk any backdrop in the wide open outdoors unless it is a very calm day. You could always add weight to the support structure,
however adding weight to the bottom of any backdrop will only trap the air like a sail.

WOW Factor!!! It was a pleasure to talk to you this evening.
Thank you for your wonderful customer service. Your helpfulness is so appreciated. We bought one of your wonderful backdrops
at the Kidabra Conference last August of '07. We wanted to let you know how much we love it! It is very easy
and quick to set up and strikingly beautiful. It truly has a WOW factor! In fact we hear the word "Wow"
quite often as a first reaction when clients and children first see the stage. We are now looking to purchase a second
one this year as we both perform and it is being used several times a week. Thank you again Mike and Alison Root

Magic Backdrop vs othersAs for my backdrop that I purchased from you, I couldn't
be happier. I actually use the backdrop at every birthday party and family event I do. I use to use a Jet Set
for a little bit and then stop using it as it wasn't practically. And not to mention, the jet set fell over at a
birthday party. However, with Jeff Jones custom backdrops you can't go wrong. The quality of the material
is great and thick, so you can't see through it. Even when you setup the backdrop in front of a window, you still
can't see what's behind the backdrop. And the best part about his back drops is that you can fit them to any
room as the ends fold in or out. Lastly, you can't go wrong with the price, very reasonable for the quality and
easy quick setup! Thanks so much for a wonderful idea/product!-Nelson Oliveira

My Largest Magic PropIn July I completed a series of
twelve library shows, only to find that none of the photos any of my performances could be used on my website because I was
all but lost in the background of varicolored books on the shelves behind me. Later, at the 2007 KIDabra Convention of children’s
entertainers in Pigeon Forge, TN, I saw a great dealer’s display of light weight easy-up backdrops in a variety of styles
and sizes.. They had sold out of the ones on display, but I placed an order for a customized 9 ½ x 8 foot black velvet
with midnight blue side panels and top drape with a print of silver moons and stars. It packs in a velvet bag, weighs 15 pounds,
and can be carried over the shoulder like a set of golf clubs. We sent a check as soon as we were home from MAGIC Live!, and
they must have had it ready and waiting, because it arrived in time for my next gig. I was booked in a school multipurpose
room with a stage that ran across the entire width of the room. It t ook me about five minute
s to set up the first time. I have since cut my time to two minutes and fifteen
seconds. One of the other performers at that show (a juggler) immediately asked of the address to order one for himself. (www.MagicBackdrops.com) When I ordered I asked for
three extra yards of the blue side curtain fabric and made two table toppers for my performance tables. I had enough left
over to make a matching Devil’s Handkerchief. I am now using the backdrop for everything from outdoor storytelling gigs
to libraries to private parties. It may pack Big but it plays ENORMOUS and really makes me look professional. The set-up itself
is so fast it looks like magic. I am scripting it into the show with a pre-recorded announcement that the show will start
in three minutes, a musical interlude while I set up, and a grand opening fanfare as I step out from behind with my magic
hat on and my first prop in hand to start the show.

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for bringing
such a wonderful product to the market. Although I have always loved the idea of using a backdrop to create a more theatrical
feel to my show I had held off because when I go to a show I never know what kind of a space I'll be performing in.
Thanks to the multiple ways of adjusting my magic backdrop, I made it through a busy summer without ever having a problem
fitting it anywhere. The backdrop really helped to pull focus to the props and myself as specially places with very
busy and cluttered rooms like libraries. (I've included some pictures to show you how great it looks.)
Thank you again. I highly recommend magic backdrops.-Star Michaelina

WOWHi Jeff! Thomas here. I just wanted to personally
THANK YOU for your ABSOLUTELY GREAT SERVICE and OUTSTANDING product!! I am so impressed that you just don't know!
*smile* This backdrop was so easy to set up that I just pulled it out of the box and it was that simple! I love
the height reach that it has too, and the corners flex which it totally awesome! no more fudging stuff around
when I am crammed into a corner! WOW, just totally awesome. Speechless is the only thing I can say. Its
BEAUTIFUL!! I can't wait to show this off to the other Magicians in the area because they will for certain want
to know where this came from. Trust me, you thought you were busy now - *ha*
I should have listened to Kerry LONG
AGO on this one. You The MAN!!
