Since 4 years I think about getting the Matrix suspension.

I contacted malloymodernmagic (by the way Pretty GOOD customer service), but they only sell ''The Lean''

I read some old topics about the matrix effects, but nothing new.


I saw KapMagic sell the version, but I write them a mail and I don't got a respond...

So I'm not sure giving kind of 1000$ to a company who don't send back is mail, someone buy from this website ?


52Magic sell the version too, but I'm not sure about getting the real version.

Need help from you guys !

Not that I would ever think it's a good idea to buy from a knock-off company but an illusion like that could be very dangerous if it's not made properly.

Use the search engine on the Café, there have been several discussions on the Matrix prop. You can review those topics, as I have not heard about anything changing. The creators of the Matrix Illusion have not marketed their versions to my knowledge, or released plans to have one made on your own.

From those older postings, there was only Kap and a China company offering it, both are very questionable sources. You can also search those names and read other member's experiences at losing their money.

Besides the illusion, you will have to strengthen your body to perform the illusion. So hiring a fitness expert, and daily workouts to perform this effect. Otherwise, you could injure your body very seriously.

The only course at this point would be for you to hire metal craftsman and body skeleton experts, and work on your own solutions, or you could do the research and make one yourself, as the original creators have done.

Welcome to the Café, hope you stick around to enjoy the experience.

I read a lot of topics about this illusions and like you said there’s no official version to sell.
Maybe I can buy a plan or from another website.
My fitness level is okay for it, but it must hold me for sure

You could always check with a pro builder like EDF or Tim Clothier. In my experience if they can’t build it they will know who can and refer you to them.

Thanks for these builders I don’t know. I will send them a mail.

Def would recommend EDF, Clothier or Johnny Gaughan as well he's great with this sort gadgetry.

Thanks a lot @reedrc for these builders I don't know. Maybe some plans could work well for me !!

I've got the 'invisible chair' lean / sit down suspension in my living statue show.

The best and cheapest way to get one built for yourself is to get a mechanical engineer to build you one, that's what I did. A good engineer should easily be able to work out the logistics of the illusion.

They're fairly easy to make and shouldn't cost above $500, if you're wanting a basic invisible chair type.

Just find a local mechanical engineer and show him a video of what you're looking for and he should be able to work out how to make it.

Good luck!

Neil.

Thanks a lot !!
