Hey, I'm a illusionist from Las Vegas, and I need a way to produce a full sized 25 inch TV that is un-gimmicked, I need to do it with little cover too. If anyone has any ideas, let me know, or email me
Thanks

Hi Brendan...I mean shamanking. Welcome to The Magic Café. While I don't know a way to do that, I will suggest that you will probably have better luck with suggestions if you be a little more specific with what you want to produce it out of (A box, behind a curtain...your sleeve? )

Let's see ...
How about a big "Square circle" (or "Square Square" to be more accurate!), something where the sides of the outer box hinge down to expose the TV. I'm thinking something along the lines of the box Ralph Adams used; you can see it on his video. The Adams box didn't have hinged sides, but it was a large square circle. My next bet would be a large tipover box -- they can accept a load as large as the box itself, and can be extremely deceptive. A "Mignon" illusion might work if you could get some kind of counterweight balance to move the TV (I seem to remember Paul Osborne had a design of this type.) All kinds of applications of "Black Art" could work, as well. |

Great idea Starrpower. Brendan, how big is that tipover trunk you just got? I think a 25 inch TV might fit in there.

Cross over panels and with this you can even produce a whole Display stand with the T.V

Most BA and mirrorwork would do this quite well imo...

I had a spare moment, and was feeling generous, so I penned a VERY basic drawing for you - it should be attached.
A simple blackart setup should work fine. * If the correct lighting is used then the reflection of the TV screen area can be eliminated making the screen blackart itself. You'll need to do a fair amount of experimentation with the lighting though. The 'TV Rim' area should be covered with genuine blackart. All that needs to be done is for the rim blackart to be removed and the TV turned on remotely to an image I.E Corporate logo. A simple wave of a cloth should give ample time to do all this. This setup should allow of a relatively quick appearance of the TV and image. Should be quiet a nice visual. Good luck! PS: I've kept it vague due to the open forum, contact me for further details if necessary. Click here to view attached image.
