I'm thinking of investing my energy in constructing a Shadowbox illusion. It seems as a great "appearing" illusion for my show. Is it Hard to construct in comparison to other types of illusions such as Okito's Evolution of a Lady, Zig Zag, ECT.

When, I mean the Shadow Box, I mean the "girl from the LightBulb." Thought I would clarify that.

That illusion is LOVELY.
If you have ever see Luis de Matos performing you would fall in love. It´s a amazing illusion indeed.
Did you think it is more dificult than zig-zag??

Luis de Matos is an excellent performer. The reason why I mentioned zig-zag was just for a point of referance. The victory cartoon illusion for example is low on the scale for construction (my point of view). So, I just wanted a general idea of how difficult it would be to construct a shawdowbox comparatively to other grand illusions?

It depends on what type os SB you are building. The classic type is quite easy as it requires practically no "special" building. If you´re building a baseloader, thats far more difficult and better built by a professional.

Just remember that even a classic SB even if simple in construction, must be built with care and not just knocked together.

I have their Shadow Box.

It's great. It has what they call a square multibase with the shadow box lock on. It is so deceptive, it looks great. It's completely aluminium and really light, all 4 sides lower up and down like a drawbridge and has spandex on all the sides. The sides have inner sides so you can change the spandex, the light needs no main cable it has batteries and looks incredible.

The masked magician showed girl form light. This is a leap foward, people are amazed with it.

Doug Malloy also has very nice shadowbox...Im not going to go into detail about the specs. if your interested take a look.....www.malloymodernmagic.com

I went to http://www.tricksinternational.com
But I did not see any pics. Where and how, do you see the illusions at this web site?

Ray Noble

I have emailed them as I am ordering a few things from them. They told me that their site is being changed and updated. They said the site should have all the info and pics on within a week.

Hope this helps.
