Hi Hansel,
-What type of venue do you usually perform in? -Size of audience, sight-lines, and angles? -Do you always / often have an assistant" -Do you travel by car / truck / air? -What is your illusion budget-- hundreds, thousands? -How much experience do you have with larger illusions? -What style of magic do you generally perform? -What are some of your favorite effects? -Are you looking for something serious comic? -Mainly adult, family, child, or corporate work? When you give use more info we can give you much better clearer ideas! Magically, Walt |

Weeeeeeeell... that all depends on your show...
Do you have a theme? Do you have an assistant? What's your space limitations? Do you need to perform surrounded? What's your necessary set-up time? How much space do you have to transport your equipment? There's many questions that need to be taken into account before adding an illusion to a parlour show. Most magicians start with an illusionette- a small illusion that plays big, without the hassles of a full-sized illusion. Some examples of these include the bow saw, the wrist chopper, even the flaming head chest.

"add to my parlour magic"......I will assume NOT a children's show.
No assistant.....a guillotine...a six foot one or a good head chopper With assistant.....Modern Art....Kube Zag....both mysteries close-up. All of the above would serve you well in parlour conditions, right up to the stage performance. (As a note..I used to use a Zig-zag close-up and surrounded in a restaurant between tables...it played very well and really baffled.) Blair Marshall "ShaZzam!"

I would do the Konundrum Kube, Kube Zag, or the like. These are small enough for most areas and can be done completely surrounded. Every venue I have done the Konundrum Kube at it has been an instant hit. It packs flat and plays big. I ca fit it in the back of my wife's Honda Pilot with my suitcase table. Good luck.
