I'm posting this because I'm looking for illusions which give the effect of walking on water. If anyone has some info on the effect or has a working method which he wishes to sell to me. Or can forward me to a contact or illusion builder which has knowledge about an illusion of this sort. Please feel free to reply or PM me. If someone can offer me the effect of Andre Kole (how it looks I mean because I have never seen it performed) walking on water that will be much appreciated as well .

Hey sniper1,
I designed an effect that was a walking on water once. its just that the way I pictured it wasn't met by the actual illusion. I wanted to achieve a way of doing it on like... a lake or something, on a calm day. now THAT would have been cool!!!!!!! As for Andre Kole, I know he's original and very very very good. So I think you've safe going with him.
What you have seen this evening was real, though it may have nothing to do with reality.

Here is some interesting trivia...
Disney World, at their Florida MGM Studios park, wanted to have an effect of Mickey walking across water for their "Fantasmic" show. They got the effect in place, and I believe even tested it on audiences... only to later remove it from the show due to concern over whether or not having Mickey walk on water was blasphemous, anti-religious, etc. Silly, though interesting trivia nevertheless. --Jack Post #100! |

I believe this effect is still performed by east Indian fakirs much the same way it was thousands of years ago. Basically it's a tight rope act with the rope strung just below the waters surface.

As an aside, while researching this topic years ago, I came across this newspaper report printed in the Arizona Republic on October 28, 1993. In this case, ten members of a Tanzanian Seventh-day Adventist Church who decided to step out of their canoes on Lake Victoria in order to test their faith by walking on water ended up drowning.

Hi Terry,
Sorry for those poor chaps but did they not know Andre Kole? or Steinmeyer? |

I can refer you to a non-magic book that may or may not help --- God's Other Son by Don Imus. It's about a televangelist who discovers a way to make himself walk on water during a big stadium show. The book is all just a big joke, but who knows? The methods they described might actually work. I can't remember the methods, unfortunately. See if you can find it at the library . . . it's out of print, I'm pretty sure.

I think Andrew Mayne published a version too a few years ago in like his first book, but I could be wrong...

Hi sperris. Which of Andrew Mayne's books are you referring to?

I think that it is in the Illusion Book but I might be wrong. Yeah.... but if you want to do walking on water for television, in a park or something, think Flying...

I don't think it's in Illusion Book. I don't think Mayne put such an idea on print. I have never heard of it.
