This is vaguely similar to some pictures that I have seen - it looks quite good but doesn't seem to have the appropriate legs!

Usually, the body including the legs is made from some kind of flexible or compactable material.
However, if this is small enough, it might work just fine.

Is there a video of anyone doing bonus genius - would someone be willing to do a version?

You would have to find someone who actually has one that is in performing condition.

I would be surprised to find someone doing this as a stand-alone effect. It's the kind of thing that you would insert in a routine with other effects, the way I did with my Houdini Séance Trunk from The Wizards' Journal #10. The Bonus Genius principle is employed as part of the Houdini Metamorphosis performed with dolls.
I believe that when the Wiz Kids performed with the Bonus Genius in the photo, it was a small part of a Christmas routine in which the doll was found in a stocking and disappeared while being held by a child from the audience, only to turn up on his back after some time had gone by with other Christmas effects intervening. I can't imagine it being used all by itself.

Can you elaborate on your Houdini Metamorphosis performed with dolls, please.

You'd have to go to my site (in my signature), click on Wizards' Journal #10, and scroll down to find the explanation and click on the INFO button. Sorry, I have to send you on this route, but since I can't afford to advertise on the Café, this is the way it has to be done.

Old post... Ive seen an original bonus genus. it resembled a peg doll. ( and was probably originaly constructed from the same) Simple wooden body, with a hole drilled at the neck, and the detatchable head, had a thin peg that fit into the hole loosley.
the body,was palmed away, and the head, was vanished via a pocket on the cloak. It was very common for him to turn up in old french conjuring cabinets.Indeed, this is where I saw him.. sitting there next to an incredible price tag on a stall at the portabello rd. |
