So, I spoke to Mr Petijean. He told me that he invented the Magic Toll because he thought there was a need for it in 1998-99. Bull-dog clips do not hold things properly, otherwise he would have not looked for another solution. He also said that he was surprised at the success, and that the tool is made in Switzerland (near Fribourg)- with the necessary attention to quality AND the fly-tier in mind, which I don't think is always easy to get in China, I would say, this last part is my comment, NOT, I repeat NOT Mr. Petitjean's saying- For the price, ( about 45 USD) you get 3 "clips" and 2 clamps and 3 wooden equalizers (http://www.petitjean.ch/eng/MagicTool/default.asp) Hope this can help

...ehm, here is a link of an Italian flytyer, Davide Marzorati, showing the Magic Tool in action, I think: www.fly-store.com/video/ninfacdcrosatungsteno_0001.wmv As I said it's in Italian but you can turn the audio off; skip the beginning and jump to the middle of the movie where the Magic Tool part starts... I am not able to judge really, but it seems to me that there are many differences with a bull-dog clip.... I can ask Marc Petitjean about what he thinks of bulldog-clips if you want and the reason why he invented the tool...it would be interesting to know for me, too.

Hello I am just investigating new ways for flytying for instance with a vertical hook (e.g. http://www.upon-bamboo-fly-fishing-rods-an...ying-desks.html ) and I am looking for information also on Darrel Martin (wowen-threads nymphs) and Torril Kolbu (crochet-work nymphs). Do you know of people doing "differently" as well? Thank you for any help! Cheers
