Wakeling Sawing: Play so big withe two spectator.
Modern art: No angle and play big
flying cardboard: big and esay to customise to the client brand
Spontus 360: easy to play, pack small and a real lévitation for worker.
Crystal Metamorphosis by JC sum: A good idea modern and pack flat

Metamorphosis, Origami, but also Copperfield's Psycho illusion.

I like the Ladder Levitation from Walter Blaney a lot...The fact you can used it as a one man show is great and a big plus. Did any one know how many Walter made?

Shorty

Each purchaser was required to sign a license agreement. So, the exact number and the original purchasers are known. But I have never seen if it was released. In the ads they disclosed 25 purchasers, all of whom were very well known illusionists (Copperfield, Anderson, Burton, Daniels, Siegfried & Roy, etc.). There would also be all the ones which Daniel Summers has built since the baton was passed to him: http://danielsummers.com/ladderlevitation.html.

I don't know why the Ladder is referred to as a levitation, when it's really a suspension. Granted the general public probably doesn't know what it's called in the catalogs or web sites, but, still...

Piece by piece for me

When I was a kid/teen in the '70s, Zig-Zag was everywhere, over-played, but I loved it.
Now I would say...

1. DC's train Orient Express
2. Things That Go Bump In The Night - seeing Doug Henning do this on a live TV special before VCRs, blew my mind
3. Asrah, Mark Wilson
4. DC's Grandfather's Aces - though not a grand illusion, as a piece of magical art it doesn't get much better. I believe one aspect of it is only available for the camera but even taking that away, it's spectacular.

Is it ok nowadays to saw someone in half?

As long as you put them back together again, yes.

I definitely have to put Metamorphosis and ZigZag on my list, since they defined "illusion" for me during my formative years.

I also love Pepper's Ghost and the Zombie Ball.

And I'll include Origami, not just as a single illusion, but as a class that defined so many others.

You know, it's amazing that the good old Zig Zag still plays- Penn & Teller just closed one of their recent Fool Us episodes with it, and it was great!
