How does Prince make that guitar disappear? OK I have seen this happen on more than one occassion and it also happened last night on the NAACP award show. How is it that when Prince is finished playing his guitar that he throws it up in the air and then it is gone just like that. Someone please tell me how that works because you definitely dont see any strings attached. This is really bothering me. Please clarify.  | |

That's hilarious, because every time I look at the While My Guitar Gently Weeps clip from the Hall of Fame induction I wonder what happens to the guitar at the end of the clip. Is someone there to catch it?  | |

David Copperfield has been going to 3121. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

i think he throws it up and forwards so that the guitar tech catches it in the pit at the front of the stage. You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City | |

Yeah, I think if the guitar tech guy can catch it, he does. If he doesn't, it crashes to the ground. I guess they then check it over to see if it is still playable, if not they just break a new one out of the storeroom. He can afford it. Seems most tv performances he throws it up! | |

Seems most tv performances he throws it up! he has had the same Hohner for nearly 30 years and he has only had to replace the neck twice and the body once.

Oww-oof!
Woof Woof..grrrr-oof Butcherdog says that, after the success of Purple Rain, Prince was rich enough to hire a chimp which would hang from the stage scaffolding directly above his head. thus, when prince throws his guitar up in the air, the chip was able to catch it in his arms as he dangled by his feet. Woof! Woof! Woof! Butherdog adds that, if you watch closely during the performance of 'computer blue' from the 'Prince & The Revolution 85' video, Prince throws his guitar in the air. if you look closely at the top of the screen during this point you can see the chimp in question. However, as you will see by watching the performance, the chimp fails to catch the guitar and the honer crashes to the ground. However, by the end of the Purple rain tour, the chimp got real good at catching. | |

How many times can you replace the neck AND the body before it is a new guitar? www.timkaye.com | |

No, no, no. I also saw him do it in a clip when he performed controversy/mutiny. He throws it up looks up quickly and then he keeps performing. So it is def. going up. God only knows where it goes. | |

SPEAK!!!! SPEAK!!!! Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater? | |

I work in theater and although I don't know what exactly he does, it is very probable that someone is up on the bridge above to catch it. It is possible! “The only love there is is the love we make.” 💜 | |

OMG could it really be as simple as that? God what if the person didn't catch it? I mean it's not as if he looks up first and if he does it is so quick and then throws it up could he really have that good a judgement? | |

Takumi catches it.
Check out the Rave DVD. (At least I think that's the one.) He finishes with the bass and just kinda chucks it across the floor like a bowling ball toward the back of the stage. Now THAT one kinda freaked me out! I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here. | |

The man is AWESOME at taking care of P's guitars. We saw Takumi catch the guitar at an ONA concert. That's when you know how tight the band really is. He knows exactly when P is gonna toss that baby and where it is gonna go. I bet he's no butterfingers! Oh, and I think it seems to disappear on TV because of the framing of the shot (like on the NAACP awards last night), though it is pretty cool to see it in person. | |

Most of the props on stage disappear when Prince stashes them away in his anus.
He keeps all sorts of shit in there. Any day now, he's gonna whoop out a lynn drum and blow everybody away! | |

I think his techs are on amyl nitrates (sic) and sell them for cookie dough ice cream. This post has been modified from its original thought. It has been formatted to fit into the space and run in the time allotted. | |

I'm a big fan myself. Wouldn't it be funny if the next time we saw Prince he catches the guitar from out of the blue as if it had been in the air since the NAACP awards performance ended? | |
