I totally agree with my mate Russ Stevens, its a shame that ANY exposure of any kind is allowed to happen, I use to perform this classic effect and have to say that Harbins ZIG ZAG GIRL as it is called, is, was and still is, one of the BEST attention grabbers of all time, when ever I performed this effect after the girls middle was out it got the people at the backs attention,
you know the ones, those that pretend they aint interested, but they really are. This was when I knew that I was going to have a good audience or a bad lot, and knew if the rest of the show was going to be a hit or not. If it was not for the ZIG ZAG GIRL then there would not be as many new Illusions about today, that the The ZIG ZAG GIRL paved the way for, ie the Cube Zag and many others. For those that do not know, Robert Harbin gave all the rights to the ZIG ZAG GIRL to the Magic Circle in London many years ago, and they still hold the rights to it today, its a great shame that a few years ago the London Magic Circle did not Sue the asses of FOX TV, Valantino and the Production people who made the original exposure, because if they has sued, then maybe there would not be as much exposure today. I have a vast collection of about 35 Illusions in my collection, some classics like Harbins AZTEC LADY , Topsy Turvy, the Tressle suspention up to the ultra modern Illusions of today like the wakling sawing in half, Table of death, heads off, osv A few years ago, I was approached by a TV company in Turkey of all places, and they told me more or less to name my price, They wanted to fly me and my wife and all my Illusions out to Turkey. to make as many programs as they could exposing them all in a series of shows, you can guess exactly what I told them to do, and where they could go, But unfortunatly someday they will get a magician who just wants the TV fame and the Money and that's all he will be thinking about, his 15 mins of fame.
you will never find a better quality HEAT / HOTSPOT / HYPNO HEAT as mine anywhere else, ITS REALLY GOOD... here is a link to the effect NEW WEB SITE AND TO ORDER

I watched it when it aired and found it innoffensive,no-one will be sat at home thinking "ooh so that's how its done".It was all edited quickly from different angles.
Joe Public wont be any wiser.Had the idiotic Thai girl not been the one performing it,I doubt it would have been as bad. Zig Zag girl is lame anyway.People get worked up over little things. |

I remember being about 10 years old and seeing the Zombie and a Zig-Zag on T.V. and telling my parents exactly how was done-------that's all I'm sayin'-----no disrespect intended.
