Recently I saw a video of a sawing in half where the magician pulls an audience member on stage. The put them into the box and saw them in half ... kind of? I'm curious if anyone knows what and where to find the plans for this. I am also interested in any illusions that use the audience members in the contraption?

Basically any audience involved illusions?

You're describing "Audience Dismember", which is a Jim Steinmeyer creation. There are no plans available for this effect, and I believe the only licensed builder is Bill Smith of Magic Ventures.

Lisa Mena did a wonderful version of Origami using a "man from the audience."

The chair suspension and carpet suspension use audience volunteers.

Chopper illusions usually involve a spectator.

The Sabre Saw illusion, and the Crossbow Sawing use spectators.

The Arrow Box uses a spectator.

Thanks to both of you. I just found the steinmeyer sawing. Don't think I will buy it at 7,000. I will take a look at these others though

Osborne has some plans in 'Haunted Illusions' called 'The Chopping Block' where an audience member has a blade pass through them, basically along the line of the bow saw illusion.

You could also be the first to own my Audience Member Vanish

Do you have any details on the audience member vanish please.

Thanks.

I would also be interested in hearing about this illusion.

Here's a bit of a teaser on it.

I had a similar idea/design. Be curious to see how close they are together. Good work and making it available.
