I am in the process of designing a new illusion sequence and have decided to use a Paul Osbornes variation of the old Morritt Cage Illusion, The Witch Doctor Illusion. I was wondering if anyone out there has used this illusion or one of its variants and could give me insight on do's and don't's, presentational angles, etc.? Also is it would it be possible to screen the switch with fog instead of the curtain or would it detract from the speed with which the switch takes place? In what format does it seem more effective: production, vanish or switch/change?
Thanks in advance!

I would recomend that you get Jim STeinmeyer's book Art and ARticfice. In there he talks bout Morritts mirrors and all. Its very educational. I don't know bout screening with fog instead of curtain, its a interesting idea just not sure bout it. You ask which format it would be better to perform in? What are you wanting to do? Its a multi use illusion. You can do many things in it, it just depends on what YOU want to do with it. I wish you the best of luck with it. Have fun!
