Alex,

Well put. Of course a stooge, or double lift, or black art or anything else should only be used when you can make sure no one will suspect the method.

A stooge is like a TT, used wisely it can be a gimmick that creates astonishment,used too much and it becomes a piece of flesh colored plastic that stands out like a sore thumb(no pun intended).


And when a stooge is suspected is as bad as when a TT is suspected, even if magician is using a pull or some other method to vanish the silk.

But, if the stooge is employed as PART of an effect, and if the Mentalist is able to inoculate in the audience minds that the helpers on stage are NOT possibly being stooges... then, only then, that effect will blow the audience away!
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!
