It with enough will power and hard work. although it was Exposed at the Houdini Museum. it is still a well liked/loved Illusion. and here goes some proof. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=......orphosis

I love the metamorphosis illusion. Its one of the best and its a classic, not to mention it looks impossible. I agree that with hard work and good rehersals anyone can do it though it will be a little costly like other illusions.
