Did I miss out any ideas in this thread. Please pour in more ideas. Thanks.

Dove levitation?

Thanks guys! You may also want to consider Catapoultry by Tim Clothier. I have a quick video of it from the first week we put it in the show... keep in mind that it's themed currently for a circus, but you might find use with the effect. Also, the link is private... so don't pass it around too much please. ;o) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbFkYlFaFi4

Dave,
That is a great visual transposition. Compliments to your presentation and Tim's idea. Pack small..plays big. The only problem I would see would be the Pyro but that makes the effect.

Richard

That was one good transpo, did the sound come from the pyro machine? Or was it part of the BGM?

Sound was from sound effects. We had once city with strict pyro laws, and I added a confetti launcher instead. Almost as visual. If I can recommend anything of Tim's, I do. He does awesome work!

Dave,

Superb Performance and an excellent piece of illusion...

Hey Dave,

That was absolutely fantastic!! Can't find it anywhere, care to share a link?

Thanks! It's going to be in MAGIC Magazine, mailing Nov 11 (December issue). I have time for one custom order if it's placed in the next few days. I could get it out by Halloween. You can email me if you'd like DaveWomach@Yahoo.com I'll give you the discount I'm doing in MAGIC if you want it.

Merlynn The Magic Cockatiel who has performed on AGT (but his segment did not air) performs multiple tricks on my show starting out with being produced from a book, several mental and card tricks, dove thru glass which I covered the glass with brick contact paper which is suppose to be Houdini's minature prototype of walking thru a brick wall. Bird The last two effects in the show is bird origami box by Tora, and close with vanishing dove cage. Once in a while he is used in a off brand Losander type floating table which produces a bird cage at the end.

BTW, 30 minutes of dove magic will put the audience asleep! Most of the best dove acts were never anything over 12 minutes or so.
