The MagStaff was born in 2011 from artistic collaboration and prop experimentation between Jesse Dovick and Burns the Dragon. The initial interest that came from combining balancing and flow props with that of a strong magnet, to allow breaks in the movements. Over the years, the prototype mutated and changed though hours and hours of rigorous play-testing. Many MagStaffs were broken before the right combination of materials came together to create the prop we have here today. Having auditioned for Dragon’s Den, but not making it before the Dragons, the innovator turned to the festival and juggling circuit, where this fresh take on a number of old ideas, has captured the imagination of many a flow artist.
