I have always wanted to perform an illusion based on time travel! The Idea of routine goes as follows; The Magician walks on stage dressed in a lab coat and safety googles. He introduces the next illusion as a scientist would introduce a ground breaking discovery. The assistants carry a large machine up on stage, opens the door to reveal nothing. The Magician walks into the machine, doors close. A few minutes later the Magician runs out of the box carrying a infant tyrannosaur in his arms.

Ways to accomplish such and illusion

We all know time travel is impossible, but with the help of animatronics and a mirror box, it can be acted out through illusion. This IS ONLY and idea and unless the perform or inventor has money can this ever be accomplished.
The most expensive prop in this routine is infact the dinosaur, brought to life with the help of a very well recognized dinosaur, the infant tyrannosaur from Jurassic Park The Lost World.. According to the Making Of The Lost World, The infant tyrannosaur is one of the most advance animatronic animal ever to walk on the big screen.

If anyone has a more simple way of accomplishing this interesting idea, let me know.
Remember that this is only an idea but remains plausible.

Materials
Mirror Box
Infant Tyrannosaur (Or any realistic dinosaur)

One of the Surnateum time machine.
The story is in Hauntiques.
I have used another time machine on stage for that kind of illusion, but Time Trap 's illusion is that time travel may change History.
If you're familiar with the Surnateum, you may also find the Time Trap story on the site.

I have used a Time Machine format from time to time.
