I just want to share my presentation of one of my favorite Illusions for a mostly teenaged or older audience.
I at first say, that I need a volunteer for a very dangerous illusion. I've never had a show that no one volunteered, but if I did, I have my 15 year old Grand-daughter/assistant as a back up should I not get a volunteer. Next I pass out the UNPLUGGED saber saw, to prove to a few members of the audience and the volunteer that the saw is real, and so is the blade. I then show that once the guide is placed over the volunteers body, there is only about 1 ince of clearence between the end of the saw blade and the table. Next, I prove the saw is real by cutting a block of styrofoam in half. Now, I get my volunteer to sit and lay on the table, if they have not chickened out. Now, it gets even better. I bring out and put on a bloodied lab coat. Oh don't mind this, this happened the first time I used this trick. My assistant/Grand-daughter says; that was the last time you did the illusion. Well, yea, that was the first time I say. Next I put on a crazy haired wig. They say you have to be crazy to do this. My Grand-daughter says; "No, the instructions say you have to be crazy to volunteer to get sawed in half." I then ask the volunteer if they want to put the wig on. Lastly, my Grand-daughter brings out to eye wear goggles. I put a pair on and ask the volunteer if they want to put the other pair on. That way blood will not get in their eyes. Usually a volunteer will chicken out and someone else volunteers. I do not belittle the one not doing the illusion. I say that knowing what I know I would not do the illusion either. Now for a couple of add ons I did. I bought some liguid latex and made about a 5 foot section of intestines. I also suggest you put some felt around the guide that fits over the volunteers body. This helps to conceal anything. Drill a hole in your illusion and stuff your intestines into the illusion. After I saw through their body, I pull out the intestines and ask; "What is this." People will call out it's intestines. I ask; Do you need this. As people say yes, I proceed to stuff them back into my guide. I promise you will get both applause, suspense, laughter, and have fun with this. Feel free to use my routine. |
