Our EZ System is a low cost way to into the world of animatronics! Amazingly low prices starting with teh Toucan EZ System! This system allows you to do two breath-taking things:
1. LIVE CONTROL! You can use the Remote Control Transmitter to control the puppet's every move. Imagine hiding behind a curtain or behind a crowd of people and interacting with them! He watches someone walk by and calls out to them! This is an amazing attention getter for theme parks, events and trade shows!
2. ANIMATRONIC PLAYBACK! You can also play our MagicTrax pre-programmed routines to control the character! Use our library of MagicTrax or we can create more custom routines for you in our studio! You connect and play our MagicTrax routines on mp3 from an iPod and the transmitter will send the control data wirelessly to your character. We can show you what kind of remote control fobs are avaiable to purchase to control an iPod.
The EZ System is great for those who want an easy system and do not want to do any programming or Motor-Mouth where a microphone controls the character's mouth. Auto-Alive is not hardware based in this EZ system since it does not include our Magic2 Console, but we provide you with several special "Alive MagicTrax" which have Auto-Alive motion on them! This is a great low cost system which is fully upgradable at any time to our Magic2 System.

Steven Kline & Dusty the Hands-Free Magic Dragon
He bought this thinking it would make a good addition to his show... it ended up becoming his new show!
With this advanced "Axtell Hands-Free Animation System" it expands your show with full programming and show control at an amazingly low price! You'll get:
1. LIVE CONTROL - The Transmitter allows you to control the character live, and during programming.
2. PROGRAMMABLE-
You can program your own routines on the Netbook computer. The Magic2 Console is the powerful hi tech solution. You can record your own voices in any language; Japanese, Spanish, Norweigen, German, French, Italian, etc. and then record / program the movement of the character and synch them together into a MagicTrax mp3! The Magic2 Animation Console is your programming engine.
3. ANIMATRONIC PLAYBACK COMPUTER & MORE -
Click the Fob to being your show background music and MagicTrax programming both! The netbook gives you a BIG view of your show on the presentation software display so you can see what track is playing and what is next. You can also play your MagicTrax from an iPod or Mp3 player if you don't want to use the Netbook on location. The Magic2 Animation Console also provides wireless transmission of the MagicTrax Data to the character and provides all stereo splitting and routing of the signals internally.
4. MOTORMOUTH -
MotorMouth lets you speak into a microphone connected to the box and control the mouth of the puppet during Auto-Alive motion for the rest of the character's body. This frees up your hands to concentrate on body movments only with the Transmitter Radio. You can also easily move the mouth manually with the joystick if Motor-mouth is not needed.
5. AUTO-ALIVE You also get hardware based Auto-Alive that keeps your character alive when a track ends. You can control the left or right dominance on the Auto-Alive or have it centered toward your audience. Your character will never stop still with Auto-Alive.
6. DATA TRACK BLEND - This
blends your characters's movements smoothly from any tracks starting or pausing. Data Track Blending also provides for smooth transitions across any gaps or jump cuts in your data program edits.
7. VENT MODE INCLUDED - Your FOB will also control VENT MODE by remote control. This means that you can set the menu from Magic to Vent mode, and control the head and mouth with a tiny FOB while Auto-Alive controls everything else! Even if you are not a ventriloquist you will find many uses for this secret method of controlling your character!

MediaStar is a show control system from CES. With the "Axtell Version" of MediaStar you can play our MagicTrax to control our Hands-Free Puppets. MediaStar is the show control system of choice of many magicians and stage performers. This is add-on software and hardware that will work with the Advanced Axtell Animation Control System. Once the MediaStar (Axtell Version) is connected to our Advanced Animation Control System, MediaStar integrate with our MagicTrax to technically control our characters along wtih your entire audio show. This $1625 MediaStar Axtell Upgrade will provide you with the following:
1. STEREO MUSIC AND AUDIO - The MediaStar Sytem provides a separate USB data channel for the character as well as retaining stereo music and audio (Typically an Axtell MagicTrax splits a stereo mp3 file between mono audio right and mono data left, which makes the audio portion mono. MediaStar retains the stereo audio).
2. MULTIPLE CHARACTER CONTROL - MediaStar's unique USB data configuration allows for more than one Axtell Hands-Free Character to be controlled within a single Axtell MagicTrax program. This is perfect to have two or more characters talking and singing together. An Axtell Animation Control System is connected to the USB port so the MagicTrax can control the Axtell character. Our multi-input programming procedure makes it very simple to combine characters and invididually recorded programs together in one show file! If you have ever worked with systems that require the input of single animation channels, you will LOVE our system.
3. RC CONTROLLERS - With the MediaStar upgrade you will get two small Fobs and an ankle switch for true hands-free control.
4. EXPANDABILITY for TOTAL SHOW CONTROL - CES provides great tech support and other option for MediaStar users. You can get the optional programmable DMX light control system, and add their Multi-Output Receiver which provides up to 8 triggers which could turn on or off devices such as smoke effects, magic tricks, etc, all in perfect timing and synched to your audio program! MediaStar with the Axtell Hands-Free Control addition is truely a total show control system!
Watch MediaStar in action with these two Toucans in a "pre-show".
If you already are a previous owner of MediaStar, they will give you a free upgrade to the "Axtell Version" which will then control our Hands-Free Characters.
A Revolution is Upon Us!
The Tiny Remote Fob can hide in the palm of your hand, but you don't have to hold it. You can set it down and use both of your hands! Only one touch is needed to advance to the next "MagicTrax" mp3!
Our Axtell Magic2 System allows for up to 4 Fobs! You can hide them around the stage.
Remote Control MAGIC Chimpanzee Puppet
"Holy smoke, Steve, the actions on that monkey are simply incredible - I'm definitely going to pull out all the stops to make a purchase...
When, NOT IF, I have one of your new generation puppets it will re-vitalise my whole market. "Dave Andrews - UK
Louis Taylor on Stage in England with the Magic Toucan!
That is absolutely amazing! Wow Steve, you really have created a winner here. Even when you know it is a radio controlled puppet, you just forget all about it and fall in love with the character. You can not help but get drawn in to the fun. Axtell Expressions always stood for quality products but this is a masterpiece. Beautifully done! Kyle
That's really great! Your chimp really looks like a living one! Amazing! Figpic, France
"I I have three words: WOW! - WOW! - WOW! ...
I am stunned or should I say breathless... at the beauty of this remote controlled Toucan. You are a genius and I sure hope you do well. It is definately on my wish list! " Dennis Michael
"This is tooooo cool.... " Alexa
Axtell Expressions Hands-Free Remote Control Tree Face! Animatronic tree operates from our mp3 technology totally programmable.
"This is so exciting!... When you consider how few tricks can be done with a regular puppet (because you only have one free hand), imagine what it's going to mean to have BOTH hands free? Just about ANY trick or routine could be used......I'm especially keen to play my guitar and sing a duet with my parrot. Brilliant!...Steve, this is truly incredible! " Doug Roberts, UK
"...what an incredibly brilliant idea, Axtell!" ...Tod Torrent
The Chimp being operated Live with the Transmitter"
Ken Scott carries the Hands-Free Chimp (with the optional power seat) into a motel room lobby to get some towels...as Ron Palmer operates the transmitter outside the door. Ken could have just set the Chimp down on the counter & walked away while it was animating! Thanks to Ralph the Great for the video.
