We’re introducing a new series this week demonstrating Simple Feats of Science! Kishore and Norm are joined by Zeke Kossover from San Francisco’s Exploratorium science museum to show how you can destroy a soda can with a ping pong ball moving at almost the speed of sound! (Thanks to the Exploratorium for sharing with us these experiments.)
Puppeteering with Adam Savage!
Recently, Adam spent a day at Rick Lyon’s shop working on a new puppet, Finn. We check in with Adam to chat about his puppeteering technique, the origin of Finn’s voice, and meet some new hand puppets made by Ron Binion!
Adam Savage Meets the Original Blade Runner Blaster Prop!
One of the holy grail props in movie history is Deckard’s PKD Blaster from Blade Runner. This iconic pistol has been intensely studied by replica prop builders, including Adam Savage. Adam finally meets the real hero prop–in the collection of Dan Lanigan–and bring his own storied replica to compare with the original!
