If memory serves correctly....Mike won " Magician of the Year" with his instant babe presentation at the 2000 Magic awards.

Greetings All -
Has anyone thought of using this illusion an effective vanish? The innocense of the prop would, literally, shoot no direct lines to the method. Any thoughts out there? Thanks! Matthew Fallon FallonMAGIC

It's quite dirty at the start but the audience doesn't know what to expect so aren't looking at it with any critical eye. Once the girl has appeared, everything is clean and this is when the audience start looking for explanations (and there's nothing to find). Thus it really wouldn't work as a vanish as you're left "dirty."
There's plenty of bases out there that would be much more suitable to creating that kind of open vanish (including our Dream-Base /end-plug/) as they are designed for a vanish.

I was going to post a simular reply as to NOT using it for a vanish but I wouldn't use the term " quite dirty" to describe the starting point of the appearance. In fact I'd say the prop looks *** good at the start and then IMPOSSIBLE at the finish. I've seen this prop close up and its very deceptive fully loaded.
I wouldn't use it as a vanish because any base could do that. The thing that makes Instant Babe so great is the INSTANT flash appearance of the girl. Don't waste this prop on a vanish. Best, Tim |

Would you say it looks dirty in this video?

I don't thinks its to bad in that video but I've seen pictures of it on Hans kloks website and thought it was very dirty.
I don't think this illusion would work for everyone, but with a bit of thought into the presentation I think its quite an effective production illusion. Lighting would be quite important for this one |

I could't find photos of Instant Babe at Hans Klok's website... Could you please post the link to it (or send me the photos if you have saved them)? Also, it would be nice if anyone can send me links to some more photos and videos of this illusion on the web... I'm seriously considdering purchasing one and I'd really love to explore it a little bit more. Can anyone tell me how much it weighs?

Ryan Joyce does a pretty mean Instant Babe. He's doing it in this summers tour. I caught some of it in his rehearsals. This one takes some practice but is mighty sweet when done right!

Is it a subtlety that the performer employed (i.e. the assistant is already out), or is that the real speed that you come out of the base? Coz at that speed, I'm not sure if I'm even able to stand up from a squating position, much less out of a base |

This is a VERY clever idea but incorrect regards Instant Babe. Here are some photos from a video of Ryan Joyce performing it. You'll clearly see that his assistant's red pants would not pass as his leg. The secret is acomplished with mechanical means. Please note that you can clearly see under the cloth as the cloth is lifted yet the girl appears instantly ( hence the name INSTANT BABE ) . I'll get permission and post Ryans performance video in a day or so as well. Best, Tim Click here to view attached image. |

That second (chronologically the first) picture shows just why this is such a great illusion. I wish I had a reason to buy one.

Ok here is the video. Sorry for the delay but I knew the link was previously private and wanted to get Ryans permission before I made it public. It'll be on his site soon anyway so here goes.
