I am currently working on a new stageact. I have an idea to an illusion but not so much of an idea how to make it happen Maybe I can get some good input from the Magic Café. The scenario is as follows: at the corner of the stage is an armchair.
In the chair sits a guy asleep with a jacket over his head (like after a party). During the show I try to wake him up several times as a running gag - without results. at the end of the show I disappear in another illusion in a flash. This flash wakes up the guy in the armchair, he removes the jacket and (surprise-surprise) it´s me.. Some facts/thoughts: 1. 20 seconds before I disappear I am behind the curtains walking to the chair illusion (so I can allmost be in the chair before I disappear). 2. the "guy" is just a pair of fakelegs connected to something that looks like a body under the jacket. 3.the legs can disappear into the chair in a second. 4. There is a big opening in the back of the chair, so I can get in to it. Does something like this sound familiar to any of you? I have researched the internet for a while and the only chair illusions I find is de kolta chair and chair suspensions. Look forward to hear from you all |

I saw Paul Daniels do something a little similar in reverse. He was strapped into this chair on a platform and then a bag put on his head. Then he was set on fire and then appeared elsewhere as one of his captors. One not though, it did not look that great to me, could have been done better.
So basically reverse the procedure and you kinda get what you want (minus the flames!) Is it possible to do the Dekolta Chair in reverse? |

There is an old effect called "Satan's Seat" which Paul Osborne did a riff on in Genii. You might recognize it as a piece from Lance Burton's stage show. It doesn't work exactly as you describe but might make a good starting point for your idea.
