Be good to see a new version of Assistant Revenge. Be interested to find out how you would make it different though?

Effect--girl would back up to the web fabric and be laced in. |

My version of cardboard body twister----Effect (based on head twister method as most are)--- ask two spectators from aud up to help out, slip a box over your assistant's head (box has a cutout front and two cut out holes on the sides near the top, see attachment). Magician ask the both helpers to insert a hand into hole cutouts on sides of box and grasp the assistant's wrists and not to let go. Magician then ask both helpers to walk in a circle around the assistant. Aud. Can see body twisting in a full 360 .Method the audience helpers are stooges and release grip on assistant as goes out of view and re grasp as she comes back into view (it looks very weird). Friend Scott Emo suggest the head stay looking forward as the body twist, can be done by cutting a hole in top of box for the head to just poke through (this make the box easier to make but does require more practice on your assistant not to telegraph secret moves... The bottom picture shows the position of person in the box. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w221/......aa57.jpg I will try to get a picture up next week of the one I built (I built mine in about one hour-from a toilet box). |

Apart from using a cardboard box, this is very simular as Franz Harary's exclusive version....

This what sell the illusion. All twister illusions are built on the Head Twister method. His cost 5,000.00 or more mine $0, I hope they are not the same. |

That looks amazing, you wouldn't know it was only cardboard !
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

That looks great, and appears as though it would weigh a ton!!!
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Sorry. I wasn't clear with my post.
I was aware of your building methods and meant to compliment the appearance of what you built. It really looks heavy, but I knew that it wasn't.
