Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum as a registrated member. I found a lot of exciting discussions and it helped me a lot before buying magic tricks.
I'm not in grand illusions. I'm more or less a close-up worker or doing some parlour magic. Rarely I do magic on a "big" stage. But for now... I saw a very nice illusion and I don't know how it is called. So that's the reason for my posting.

Simon Pierro performed it in a TV-show in GER. You can find it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u7eVNAI3......ten-live
It's the first one, the yellow magic present...

Do you've got any ideas regarding the name of this illusion?

Thank you and have a nice day

Hello Harry, welcome to the site. I'm afraid I cannot conclusively answer your question but there are many on here who probably can and hopefully will. What I will say though is that is a fantastic looking piece of magic and possibly an original piece of work.

Many thanks for sharing.

Richie.

Originally invented by Ali Bongo and later publidhed in Andrew Mayne's book SOLO X as 'special delivery'.
This illusion is also known as The flying box.
Do a search here on the café and you will find more info.

Thanks a lot. That was fast!
And, yes Richie, its really a fantastic looking magic "trick".

And that is why I love this forum. I have spent literally years trawling the avenues and alleyways of YouTube watching countless videos and have never come across this trick at all. Thanks go out to you tristanmagic, and of course Harry again for the original post, its always good to expand your knowledge of magic history. Here is that Paul Daniels version for those interested.
