Witch Stirring a Hanging Cauldron
In the spring of 2004, I decided our little yard haunt needed a witch stirring a cauldron. The prop would occupy the left side of our porch, a prominent position as the TOT's made their visits to the door. This area would make it easy to setup a scene and would provide excellent coverage from the weather.
There were a number of terrific examples on the net from some great prop builders and companies. I ran across a fantastic pair of animated witches with a cauldron built by Rick Stern of StageSix Productions. After viewing a movie and taking a look at the body forms and mechanics, I knew I wanted something like that prop. Since monstermakers.com was selling the complete animatronic display for about $13,000, I also knew I would have look at other alternatives to stay within my very modest budget.
Also on the market at that time was an animated witch being sold by frightcatalog.com and some other retailers. The $3,400 witch featured a large metal-looking cauldron with chains, flickering green lights and a soundtrack, however the cost was still way more than what I was willing to spend on a yard haunt prop.
I decided to try and build a large witch stirring a cauldron myself. There were some excellent handmade props and project descriptions that caught my attention at the time. A terrific crank witch project by Mano showed me the basic mechanics of moving the head from side to side. Scary Terry showed me how to I could use a wiper motor for the stirring motion in this project. And Death Studios created the mask and hands that would provide the creepy details for our witch.
With those ideas in mind, I set out to build our prop. The following pages contain some basic descriptions of the project. The process was very much trial and error. As a consequence, these pages are not a step-by-step how-to with every material and measurement specifically detailed . It's just a simple outline that hopefully will give you some ideas on how to build your own witch stirring a cauldron project.

As with the previous step we'll again be turning to a scrap PC for parts, this time we need a 4-way connector as well as another 2-way. The 4-way connects to the IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4 header, while the 2-way connects to the 5-12v header (the driver needs to be connected directly to the power source, more on this in the next step). On the PICAXE side the 4-way cables will be soldered to the custom PCB.
He will also be making **appearances on television shows and events**, bringing his unique style of entertainment to a wider audience. Fans can catch Piff on various talk shows and comedy specials, where he will showcase his talents and charm audiences with his witty banter. Overall, Piff the Magic Dragon has a busy schedule ahead with his upcoming functions. From performing at the Magic Castle to going on a nationwide tour to making television appearances, Piff's fans will have plenty of opportunities to see him in action. With his combination of magic tricks and humor, Piff continues to captivate audiences and prove why he has become one of the most popular entertainers in the industry..
Reviews for "Prepare to Be Amazed: Piff the Magic Dragon's Upcoming Functions"
- John - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with Piff the magic dragon's upcoming functions. The show was incredibly boring and lacked any sort of excitement or entertainment. Piff's tricks were basic and unimpressive, and his jokes fell flat. Overall, I found the whole experience to be a waste of time and money. I would not recommend attending any of Piff's functions.
- Emily - 2/5 stars - I wasn't impressed with Piff the magic dragon's upcoming functions. While he did have a few tricks that were mildly entertaining, the overall show didn't live up to the hype. Piff relied too heavily on cheesy jokes and his persona became tiresome after a while. The pacing of the show was off, and it felt like it dragged on for much longer than necessary. I didn't find the overall experience to be worth the ticket price.
- Sarah - 2/5 stars - Piff the magic dragon's upcoming functions were a letdown for me. While I appreciate the effort that goes into magic shows, I found Piff's performance to be lackluster and forgettable. The tricks seemed outdated and didn't have the "wow" factor that I had hoped for. Additionally, Piff's stage presence was underwhelming, and his attempts at humor fell flat. I left the show feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend it to others.
