I want to use a tip over trunk I just aquired, and thought some ytpe of prediction effect where the thought of person appeared from the trunk. Any ideas out there?

An idea I like and I am using soon is to do the standard routine, produce a girl but she will be old, ugly, pantyhose half down, etc. We try to get her back inot the box and slam the lid shut. A few gestures, top is opened and a very sexy girl emerges.... Just a thought.

Brandon, can I be your ugly girl?
There are many types of routine to do with the box. You can just use it to produce the prediction with a girl holding it, etc. |

But surly, if you produce a girl holding a prediction, the prediction hasn't been in full view/held securly by someone before you came up with the predicted answer (whatever prediction effect you are doing) - So the effect would be lost as the girl can write down the prediction AFTER you have said it!
So just the same as an assistant bringing it on from the wings after the event? Or have I missed something important here? The ugly to good looking girl sounds a good idea, but don't produce the ugly one from the same box, just use it to "change" the girl. Either produce her another way or do some comedy and have her as a heckler then drag her up from the audience. Put it all together, spin out the story and give a nod in the direction of Mr. Copperfield.

I have a combination tip-over/substitution trunk being built for an upcoming show. I plan on using the tip-over effect more as a costume trunk. I will have a wardrobe closet with 6 different outfits displayed. A spectator picks one of the 6 outfits and throws it into the empty trunk. Immediately, a girl appears wearing the outfit that was picked just seconds prior.

I was told of a trade show idea where they showed the trunk empty tossed a number of computer parts and then a girl appeared holding the new model computer they were promoting, just a thought and many other things of this nature could be done.

Don't forget you can use a tip trunk just to vanish a person as well.
Once upon a time I did a sheet roll (I don't know what it is really called but the old idea of rolling your self up in a sheet and doing a switch so that you unroll it to show somone else). And a stage hand was really the person getting rolled up and I ran around to the back of the theater and instead of unrolling my stage hand my now mumyfied double was placed in a tip over trunk which was near instantly shown empty and a spot came on me in the back as a blew a whistle type deal. anyhow it worked great! and was lots of fun to do at Halloween when wrapping up a person in mummy cloths and shuvving them into a wooden crate made since what a great time of year for us!!!
