Is there an illusion that is out there that is like the David Copperfield - Test Conditions illusion or anything similar to make an appearance out of?
This looks like a very deceptive appearance (If it is possible to do it live) and the idea of having the small box turn into a tall one and appear inside is really cool. Is there something I can do something similar like this?

Out of Nowhere by Gerry Frenette of Magic Makers (Canada) bears some resemblance to the Test Conditions prop, which was originally created by Gary Ouellet if I'm not mistaken.

Oh yeah. Cool thanks!
There version looks a bit different. It doesn't open up tall like in Copperfields and the base looks much thicker. Do you know if it would be possible to make a custom made one where it open up taller? - Its just that I don't like how there is no front and no top on their version. And why is Copperfields base so thin looking and this one is thicker?

You asked for similar. This is the closest thing I could think of. Your questions should be asked in the Secret Sessions category.

The same OR similar
Now I know there is something similar. And if there isn't anything that is like Copperfields version, the similar version may do. Would the Copperfields version be possible to be done on any stage with any lighting? Or best to stick with the Magic Makers similar version?

M. Frymus has now posted his inquiry in the Secret Sessions section as suggested by Aaron Smith, so future responses might be better served therein.

M Frymus:
The version that is available on video is NOT the way the illusion looked in real life. That is a pipe dream. William Fenix has one in his book that's called No Where to Hide.. it can be done in full stage light... and is nearly as clean and is actually probably cleaner than the Copperfield version. It's bigger.. the box is 4 x 4 x 6 high... and when I was consulting.. I added a step that REALLY made the effect cleaner.. a step that Mr.Fenix wants to add to the second printing of his book. It doesn't operate by Bla%$ #$t... but you do need a full theater.. with unseen access to backstage from the house. If you want something TINY.. this isn't for you.. but if you want somethign CLEAN and Wonderful.. No Where to Hide is GREAT. |
