If I wanted to get a grand illusion like lance Burton and the pros do where there is a box or clothe. and its shown empty and then someone or multiple people or things walk out how could I buy something like this?

Sounds like you're taking pretty big bite there, Austin. Grand Illusion is a pretty serious business, that can be very expensive and require years of work.

What magic do you do now? How long have you been doing it?

I do card magic. thanks 4 the heads up. I was just wondering what it took to get into stuff like this

It takes money! Money for assistants and money for the illusion and a lot of rehearsal and maybe which think you should do is have money to hire consultants to help you also.

Lusion is so right. Denny Haney made a wonderful point on a very cool podcast, (mine). Why is David Copperfield so successful. If you or I wanted to perform ZigZag, we would pay the $2500 for the box, and do the trick. David would pay the $2500, and then $2000 for cheorography, $1000 for special lighting, and a few grand more for music royalties.

Don´t forget the storage and the transportation issues...

Austin:

Here is a link to most of the top pro builders of illusions today:
http://www.magicauction.com/IllusionHotl......ders.htm

99% of all pro magicians have had their props built by one of these builders.

You specifically mentioned Lance Burton. He has had many of his props built by Bill Smith Magic Ventures, who is on the list.

Start saving your money.

Before you get the illusion, you have to get the money.
