One of the sites I found, but again, the Top Hat looks like crap. xD

Woah!! Thanks so much for all the info! I got the post the day you did it, but I was on my phone and didn't have time to reply and say thank you, so sorry for the delay! =] I like the big fancy jewel prop, I'd definitely have to get something like that to pull it off completely, haha.skyechan wrote: In Reply to Skyechan
Okay, starting out, I have a slight obsession with TopHats, I love them, they're so cool. haha. So basically, I don't think you can ever have enough!MadelineLime wrote: In Reply To MadelineLime
Did you actually just say that?Nyhilatiant wrote:
Now I'm not entirely sure what a Pandora is, I tried to google search it really fast, and I'm not sure, is that just like a miniature top hat? xD
After all, it's the magical Macguffin that drives the entire plot of Magic Kaito. (But I can understand that if someone likes Kid but hasn't read MK or watched the specials wouldn't have a clue as to why Kid is going after gems in the first place...)mangaluva wrote:Did you actually just say that?Nyhilatiant wrote:

It's a large jewel that shines blood-red in the moonlight and may or may not grant immortality.

Sadly I have not read MK. Please enlighten me with how I can go about doing so. I'll search around on dctp real quick to try and find it. =]skyechan wrote:After all, it's the magical Macguffin that drives the entire plot of Magic Kaito.

I think you have that reversed, you look great, the costume not so much.MadelineLime wrote: I'm actually planning on doing a very well done crossplay, and I was going to make a tutorial on making a tophat from a crappy tophat base. I actually already have a white one I "made" for Zatanna, but it's too short for Kaitou so I might just remake another one (lol because who doesn't need two white tophats?)
This is a really, really bad photo of me, but it's great of the hat.

Okay, so here's what I'm thinking. A liquid Nitrogen type of smoke bomb. Liquid Nitrogen is harmless, it leaves no stains, and it dissolves into air, seeing as the air with breath is a good portion of Nitrogen. I work with daily and its actually pretty fascinating. While thinking of a way to do it, to show that its harmless, here's a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMpbY_hXH2U) of a guy taking Liquid Nitrogen and dropping it into a thing of hot water and soap, at the end of the video, you can see the soap suds going everywhere, if you don't use the soap there will be no bubbles etc. But as you can see, the smoke dissolves after a brief second or two, and there you have it. I'm going over it in my head of how to make little baggy or balloon objects so you can just drop it and it creates the same effect. I think it'd be pretty nifty though!MadelineLime wrote: I'm actually planning out a stage show as Kid, so I really need to figure out the flash powder. Most cons won't even let you use confetti and such. Whatever goes on stage with you MUST leave with you. Ugh
Ahhh, thanks but my face looks so greasy, cannot unsee. Also yeah, shitty satin gloves, blergh. I definitely won't be using those for Kaitou.kkslider5552000 wrote: I think you have that reversed, you look great, the costume not so much.
omg, that is amazing! If you can figure that out, please let me know! I want to try this for something like Otakon. I've had problems with them letting me do things in the past, (I was going to do the Ember Island Players but "it wasn't anime enough" even though they have an Avatar panel...), so I feel like I might be on thin ice with them and want to have it all organized before I even reg. I shouldn't even talk about doing this incase someone else jumps the gun and decides to go through with it, but that's the risk I'm willing to take to make this purely amazing. I'm annoyed I can't also use confetti and doves. XDNyhilatiant wrote: Okay, so here's what I'm thinking. A liquid Nitrogen type of smoke bomb.

It looks like my brother's school shoes!skyechan wrote:Spoiler: Shoe example
I saw an official (I think???) posted on Yahoo!Japan auctions eons ago. It was one of the most expensive listings on there.wolf4537 wrote: Hey guys, I'm going to cosplay as Kaitou Kid myself for Anime Boston this upcoming weekend. I'm hoping everything goes well, as I pretty much have everything prepared.
Does anyone know if they made an official Kaitou Kid Monocle prop though? My friend made one for me but I was wondering if they made any actual monocles to sell on Ebay or anything like that.
