Hey all;

Wondering if someone can give me a detailed review of this illusion. Thanks.

Matt

Do you have a site for this?? Would love to know what you are talking about. Sounds interesting.

Michael

Isn't this a Ken Whitaker illusion? If so: I have heard great things, but have never seen it myself. It is my understanding that Seigfried and Roy did it at one point. I don't even know what the effect is, but knowing that both Whitaker and S&R are associated with it would be a great selling point for me. I too would like to know the effect.

Here is a link to a slide show of Shadow Vision:

Anybody own one, or worked with one?

Matt

Looks pretty slick. If I remember correctly. I believe I have seen that on TV before.

Hans Klok did the illusion on the show that was on US TV some years ago.

I worked with Shadow vision in my show some time ago - not an easy piece but oh so cool !
I would love to have it back in my inventory.
Basically, you cut the girls head off by moving her mid section to the right and then her head is seen floating down toward her knees - the rear of the illusion is opened and the audience sees to the back of the theater - the process is reversed and the assistant walks away unharmed !

I have worked with the prop.
The assistants need to be well trained and rehearsed to make the effect look seamless. It is well made and will hold up to lots of use.
The other nice thing is that it is not done to death like some other more popular illusions.

Well be neat to know some history on this piece.

Who builds it currently?
Who designed it?

Michael

Creative Illusions in Las Vegas was building them.
Not sure but Ken Whittaker or Paul Haynes probably designed it.
