Hello
Do you know if a video performance is visible on the web for this illusion? I have the Steinmeyer's book and this illusion looks great. Thanks a lot for your answer PARIS SEBASTIEN |

Not sure if I have seen it on the web, but I have a friend who performs it and it does look great! Simple illusion, and clean. Very different to a sub trunk.

I worked with this friend and have an intimate knowledge of this illusion and I have to say that it is a very hard illusion to convey to an audience. The plot might be very clear in Steinmeyers book, but to an audience the effect is not so obvious. Very hard to sell. I had several ideas that would have enhance the overall effect and would have "sold" the illusion much better. One included making the hole where the woman gets pulled thru look like a target (bullseye) among others. I'm not sure he used any of them. In fact we had four very knowledgable magicians watch the illusion on night and NONE of them clearly understood what happened.

I have a friend that perform it and Looks WONDERFUL! He combines with other things ( Gags ) . He does it in an "Umplugged" show...its the ONLY illusion and works very nice! Establish CLEARLY what are you go to do and get nice reactions!
Hansel!

Sounds to me like a presentational problem, John1964. This is a talk-through illusion, for sure. Performing it like a bad music video (the way most illusionists perform things) simply won't cut it.
Obviously, it was not being made clear to the audience what was about to take place. Solution: make it clear. Tell them.
It's all in the reflexes.

Sure its a a talk - through illusion, if you do with music the people maybe don't notice the hole, don't catch the effect, etc,...
You are right Ilucifer its a "Parlour" Illusion! Hansel!
