Found this while surfing around YouTube, it's billed as Michael Bourada's "Shattered", sort of the mirror-shard version of a blade box. I have no knowledge or connection to the artist so I think it's OK that I bring it up here (hasn't been that much new going on here lately anyway). Seems fairly original to me but then I don't find myself reading that many trade magazines nowadays so I could be WAY off. Would anyone like to put in their two cents with regard to originality/effectiveness? From what I can tell the video was put up fairly recently...

Uh, which book is it from? Who's the builder?

Huh, I'm puzzled that there weren't any responses. (Yes I know who JS is) Maybe someone knows if there's an AUTHORIZED builder for this and who that might be?

Personally, I would ask Michael Bourada himself if he invented and built this illusion.
Michael used to be active on the Magic Café as "Bradacal" but hasn't posted in a while now. - Donald P.S. The idea of using broken mirror shards as blades in a box reminds me of Greg Frewin's take on the Origami Illusion (and yes, I realize that Michael's illusion isn't Origami). Wellington builds both versions of Origami. http://www.wellingtonent.com/products/origami.html One of several threads on Origami & Greg Frewin. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......c=357720

This illusions is called "The Plate Glass Mystery" and you can find it in Jim Steinmeyer's book, "Conjuring Anthology".
( When it appeared in Magic Magazine many years ago it inspired Greg Frewin to use broken mirror shards as blades in his version of the origami illusion.) |

Gee so it isn't "new" in the usual sense (just to me I guess), sorry because I didn't intend to mislead anyone, thanks for the help RVH!
