Just bought a sword basket illusion online. No instructions and my girlfriend wanted to try it out. It seems larger than ones I've seen online but she cant seem to squeeze through the top even though the inside has more than enough space. IS there a trick to getting into this thing.... there must be....... HELPPPPPPP!

thanks

Chris,
Can you help US by showing a picture or tell us from which dealer you bought the illusion.
It's strange that she can't go through the top.

Hey Chris:

I'm 5'11" and there's no way I can get into mine. I think this (and most illusions) are made for a girl 5'4" - 5'5". I'm still looking for a suitable assistant.

Assitants, magic props are made for an average woman, that is usually 5'3' to 5'7' weighting 98 to 120 lbs. A woman that is 5'9' would be around 137 lbs. Unless she is very very slim. Abbott's Fiberglas model should work with your girlfriend as it has a large opening and roomy inside.

I wonder why magicians research magic props after they invest their money and buy a prop or illusion. Or even ask some questions before buying.
