Looking for information on Dante's Black & White Illusion where one white person, dressed in white is wrapped in a cloth and when unwrapped has become a black person, dressed in black! Anyone remember this?

Doug Henning did a version of this. I think it was the "magic of broadway" special.

Further to the above, on reflection, I seem to recall that in the effect there were two people as described, on either side of the stage; both were wrapped in seperate cloths and when unwrapped, had trasposed their positions.

I only want to use two people and am looking for the actual rolling principle that exchanges the two. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I believe it is in Tarbell.

Thanks - I also have just discovered that it's in Tarbell 2! Thanks again.

I think that Alan Wakeling came up with a version of this effect which is descipted in Jim Steinmeyer's book "The Magic of Alan Wakeling". It uses large lollypops.

Oliver.

Thanks, I'll look it up.
