I'll be doing a complete Halloween party routine where we summon a spirit. I'll be using Lebanon Circle's Hagstone routine as a way for the spirit to select who in the audience will be assisting me. The spirit will reveal itself through a photo tear and restore turning out to be a little boy. He'll playfully prove his supernatural powers in a few ways that would be impossible for mortals. At the end I want to show that the spirit is standing right next to us by draping a large black cloth over him. That last part is where I need some recommendations. I plan to use a yoshino and a cloth on a long stick. I'm considering a layered foam ball on a stick to achieve the illusion. One where it lays flat but as it is raised gravity pulls three or four layers giving the proper body/shape to simulate a head. Has anyone done this? I'm wondering what shape would be best for the sitck going down to the foam head... Just looking for some creative input on building this one.

Or, maybe use a Zombie and conceal the Zombie with the drop of the cloth. Just throwing stuff out, maybe you could also use a *moke device, when cloth is pulled away you have a visual of smoke remaining for a few seconds. (not sure if there is a way to make the vapor black ?)

Another thought, if you have an empty chair beside you ... Do a '*e kolta Chair Illusion'.

If you could rig the Draped figure where you could pull off the drapery to reveal a pepper's ghost. Now that would be awesome! The timing would be so difficult and I'm not sure, having just basic knowledge of them, logistically a pepper's ghost could be made to appear where you would need it to.
Cool ideas though... -robert |

Hey the D chair idea is great, only challenge would be keeping the gimmick hidden in a parlor setting vs. stage. But on stage for sure that would be an easy method. Flashing a peppers ghost would be awesome, I'm just thinking that only works in a limited angle range, plus again in parlor hiding the plexi sheet would be a tough one. Thanks for the ideas.

Having one of those dart through the room should get a great group scream! My mother always warned me about pet monkeys! I confirmed by watching youtube videos posted by monkey owners! hehe.
