Hi guys.
I thought I would never post here but life is bigger than everything. I'm a Mentalist, but last week a carpenter friend came to me with an offer: He will build an illusion for me for free!!! (He wanted to build the Zig-Zag). I think that "backstage with the magician" is a very clever routine for co-oparete work (Bill Herz) and my question is: 1. Does A carpenter is enough to build this thing? 2. What do you think of my choice? Any better Ideas? Thanks you all in advance. I'm sure I can learn A LOT form each one in this forum. Have fun, ROi |

It is a 3-4 person illusion, and rather large. Are you sure that's the way you want to go?

Yes fpr two reasons:
1.I have never did something like this in my life and this exactly what great with magic. 2.I'm talking about do it the way Bill Herz does it.(There is a video of his doing it in http://www.bladeagency.com ) Does is constructable with only one carpenter? |

A lot of people give Dirk Arthur a hard time but he really got a great response with this effect in his Vegas show. He made a "star" out of a supposed stage hand who kept wanting to steal the show from him with a dance routine. The guy kept creeping into the act.
When it came time to reveal the other girl from the prop.. the stage hand popped out instead and went back into the dance routine. The fact that the audience recognized him made the reveal MUCH stronger. Best, Tim |

Hi Tinothy.
Do you have a video clip of his routine? (maybe youtube?) Does noone ever built this illusion? And you guys,who own this,how much is it complicated to build? |

No clips of Dirk Arthur doing it but here is a clip of the effect being performed by someone else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_Knpsm-aLQ

Hi Roi
Since I know you show, I wouldn't go for the backstage illusion. It is a great illusion but for a large stage where you have 3 assistance. I recommend you will go for the smaller illusions using one assistance maybe a nock down illusion. Talk to me... Eran

Very true,
If you don't have the assistants this illusion is not for you. You will also need the storage space as well. Still an amazing illusion that we hate to give up.

As I have said, it is a big beast, for the effect.

Hi Eran.
It's so much fun that someone know my show. You are absoulutly right-It's NOT my style. As a matter of fact,the ONLY illusion I have ever preformed was ZIG-ZAG ROCKY. (you zigzag rocky racoon!!) I have a carpenter who said he want to build an illusin (he only knew the zig zag) but I think backstage will fit more the one specific show. I hope everything will work fine! ROi p.s And come to my lecture on palming tommorow. |

I hope you are not having this illusion built for "one specific show"??
