The Prop Effects Guidebook - Lights, Motion, Sound, and Magic

The Prop Effects Guidebook Second Edition explores how to make props for the stage that move, light up, make sounds, or interact with their environment. Whether it's a sword that glows, a vase that breaks, or a book that bursts into flames (safely), this guide shows how to bring imagination to life.
