Illusionist Ben Whiting owns one. This unit was (obviously) designed by Jack Murray Of Dream Illusions. Illusion Entertainment Also designed one similar to this called "leap Of faith" (before both of these you mentioned ; existed) Which was built for illusionist Jonathan Bayme, Of Charleston, SC , Where there are two platforms and the illusionist INSTANTLY JUMPS from one to the other (and they are about 15 - 20 ft apart ) No Black Art - and the same person is in full view during the jump (with shadows too) . Its a very cool piece. We are going to be releasing a more efficient and smaller version (but just as effective) of this piece through the new ONYX line. (leap of faith 2 lx) The issue is with props of these size you need considerable space for storage as well as a way to get them to the venue ( and a venue that will hold them offstage) LOF 2 will solve this issue ..
An instant jump between space and time is not a new concept - but presenting it in unique and new ways has always been an interesting challenge. (this illusion can be seen on the opening trailer from the IEI website) From what I understand Jack's version was a custom build for Ben's show and is not for sale. I have seen Jack's version. As always the fabrication is excellent, its a nice piece. Same with Brett's. (got to love that guy's hardware) very cool stuff. |

Actually I would build another if someone wanted it, but Two bases, Two chambers, steps and 5-ATA cases--It isn't cheap! This piece was a LOT of work.

This idea was in The Tops Treasury of Illusions circa 1960...created by W.W. Durbin...although the concept had an oriental design.

Sounds like a great effect. Is there a video clip anywhere?
Thanks! |

IEI's licensed version is here and can be seen briefly in the trailer http://www.illusionentertainment.com/trailer/ Jack's version is in someone's show, and has no affiliation with the IEI rendition of the effect. Although it is "strikingly" similar to the IEI version. His was created much later than the Leap Of Faith version you see in the trailer.
