Does anyone know if there is any information regarding this illusion in print? It is also called OH! The only performance I have seen of this Illusion is by Paul Daniels. I do know that it was created by Charles Morritt, and that there is a very brief description of the effect in Hiding the Elephant by Jim Steinmeyer pg. 121. I'm basically trying to dig up any information on this effect that I can. It really is a beautiful Illusion. You can see Paul performing it on youtube. Any help concerning this matter would be greatly sppreciated. Thank you!

Check with Jim Steinmeyer or Mike Caveny. It was performed live I believe 4 years ago for the Conference of Magic History.

I believe Mike has the original OH chair in his collection so he would be able to provide you with some information....

I built the canopy and curtain for Mike's presentation of the effect at the History Conference. Also did some repairs on the chair and was the onstage assistant for the routine. Verry cool having that in the shop for a week. You can PM me for specific questions.

Lol...no not the girl ( Tina Lenart), I was the guy operating the curtain. But....I have been told that a wig and make-up might be an improvement!

Oh, good... I thought you lost weight!
I'm looking forward to working with you again this year as always. Just met with Jim a few weeks ago to get all of the tech stuff worked out. I'm sure I'll see you on load in... that is if I can find you under that stage. It looks like it's going to be a great one!

Hey Ray,
Just a quick question... How does one get a hold of you? Or Did I say or do something wrong to not get a responce from an email? I don't care if the email was, you hate my guts and I'm the worst magician in the world and you never would even waste your time on me just something to acknowledge the PM I sent. With much respect, Anthony |

Lol... Anthony, I'll write back when I get more than a few seconds free. I've been doing two huge installs and working round the clock on 3 different shows. It's just geting the time to devote to it in the midst of many things. (last I checked I had 956 emails to get to so I'm doing the best I can!)

Ray,
All work and no play makes Jack an awful dull boy. 956 emails waiting to be answered can end you up in a lunny bin. Your post indicates you are constantly working and if you're making the kind of jingle I think you are, why not hire an assistant to help you with your email responses. It would sure take a load off your shoulders and give you time to smell the roses. We really care about you Ray. Pam |

BTW.. Ray, I have never seen the World Magic Awards until yesterday. Nor had I ever heard that there was such a show.. Anyhow, I watched a clip of you from the 2007 show, and I've got to say.. Wow! That was a super cool Illusion! Original, nail bitting, and super quick. I loved every minute of it. Excellent job! Now e-mail Anthony before he has a heart attack! Just kidding Anthony...
