(UNKNOWN BUILDER) AMAZING prediction that will have your audience talking about you for the rest of their life! This illusion was built to be performed under ANY lighting conditions, ANY back drop & even your audience sitting within several feet. A locked box in full view on the stage throughout the show. At any time in your act, you invite members of the audience to call out or freely select anything they wish: numbers, cities, foods, names, etc. - with no controls or conditions. All selections are made freely and without the use of any force. Write the selections on a board so that they remain in full view (the white board & tripod are not included & are not necessary to perform the illusion). Next, calling attention to the locked box, you explain that inside is a clear capsule containing a prediction of the selections just named by the audience members. These props are so well built you could have an audience member examine the locked box fully. Open the box and remove the large clear capsule. The lid is removed and an audience member removes a large sealed envelope. He opens it and reads the prediction. It is 100% correct!!! Included: close-up table that can be used through-out your show and for table side magic + box + clear capsule. |

(UNKNOWN BUILDER) Good shape - shows wear up close but looks awesome from a few feet away. Platform sitting on stage with curtain resting on table at an angle. Magician enters stage and hops right on top of platform and picks up short curtain. Before the curtain covers the magician's body you can already see under the platform which really sells this illusion to the audience. It is made for a very quick girl production in just seconds. Magician lifts curtain to cover body and quickly brings down to reveal girl standing next to him. Not visible in photo but does sit on casters for moving on and off stage. No case, does not breakdown. |

(UNKNOWN BUILDER) This illusion was made by a local builder from the Paul Osbourne plans with some pretty neat additions. First the entire top with the head box can be lifted up and flipped over into the body of the illusion to make transporting much easier. Mirrors are held in such a way that it is easy to replace them as necessary in case they break while on the rode. Supporting legs also break down to make transporting illusion around much easier. We also added a pole through the top of the head box. This way the assistant walks around the prop in a large circle thus spinning the head. I liked it better that way as the prop had a bigger presence on stage and the head spinning looked a lot more realistic. Prop is in good shape. I used it a bit but it still looks great on stage and works just as well. No Case or Crate. |

Five large solid playing cards (1/4" ply) are thrust through the cabinet emerging through the back cutting your assistant in sixths! A great stage effect!
