Anyone knows who invented the illusion and when? Just courious.

Best,

Las

Blair, you're right. I have no idea what was I thinking, but I mixed cutting edge with compressed (thats why I mentioned the little addition-I meant the gearbox for compressed). No intention to mislead anyone!

Las,

If you are talking of "Cutting Edge" I believe it is Daniel's. He has used the priciple a couple of times now for concealment in other illusions ("Death Drop").

Blair

Blair,
The girls position in Cutting Edge and Death Drop are completely different BTW

Completely diffrent ? maybe slightly but the idea is the same

HowardT,

Are you thinking of Foul Play? (versus Death Drop?) re: postion.

If you still think they are totally diff. drop a PM.

(Daniels' illusions http://www.danielsummers.com/index.html )

I use this illusion build by bill smith; second hand bought, and I have verified with dan summers by email before the deal.Daniel summers is very clever, and confirm me it was the original from Bill Smith. It is a killer effect ! great design and totally impossible for the audiance !
It seems that the horrible copy isn't in line on ebay anymore. this illusion is very complex to build, lot a little details. Builders of copy of this illusion don't know, for sure, all the secrets.
I actually make a lot of shows with this illusion!
