What amazes me is that the principal for interlude is not new or was it concieved by a modern day illusion builder. Buster Keaton performed it back n the early part of the last century on film. The first time I saw it in person was back in the mid 1960's when a side show used it as a gag that was called"Hole thru a man". They did not use a cabniet like todays illusion uses, it was a simple box that was worn by the performer as he sat upon a table . The explanation given was that they had to mask the hole to keep women from fainting at the sight of this horriable disfigurement that allowed the passage of items such as a pipe,pieces of lumber and finally a woman to pass thru the performer. So with that in mind who really devloped the gaff or method. Do you think they paid performance rights?

Lorenzo, Good point. So what do they take credit for?
Jim is a designer of Illusions. I would venture to say that perhaps what you saw looked nothing like Jim’s newer design. In addition there are mechanical nuances that Johnny implemented and developed that allows a performer to simply step into the device and create the illusion. Making it a practical and useful device for today’s performers. I don’t think anyone can take credit for “getting out of the way”. Assistance and Magicians alike have been “getting out of the way” of impending doom for decades! You do comedy in your act.. Typically jokes are derived from one of the original seven. I would imagine you’re protective of your “original” material. One can take an old gag, make it topical by today’s standards and call it their own. Heaven forbid anyone tell it the same way. What is the difference? Paul Osborn’s rendition clearly resembled Jim and Johnny’s design… He even called it “Interlude”. That really surprises me. I would like to hear his perspective. |

I think he's saying that he is the spark that started this proverbial conflagration, since he started this thread. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm sorry guys but I can't make heads or tails of alexkrey posts... Not putting him down or anything but I'm really trying to understand his justification(s) for not really worrying about copyright/patents etc...
Is he saying that "Interlude" is in the public domain now? Or what? Sorry...

In general I think what not one he the inventor of this illusion. Russian " MASKED MAGICIAN " already some times showed this illusion on TV. It can be fast you will see this show on the American TV. I wrote about it Jim, but he does not want to react to it! Also that he can make, I do not know. You of nothing have made with VALENTINO and others? HAVE SIMPLY TALKED And HAVE WRITTEN the LETTER And EVERYTHING, ANY PUNISHMENT!!!!! All I earn money! And here is how, it is other question. |

I don't understand what Alex Krey is trying to say either. I have even had a Russian friend look at these posts to see if they can translate back to Russian what is trying to be conveyed, and then back into some comprehensible sense, but to no avail.
The link to the plan of Interlude on Paul Osborne's is new to me. Will there be plans of Origami, Osmosis, Windshear and various other intelligent properties? Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning? |

Hey, what a friend of mine explained to me is that the russians have translation programs and that they translate things literally. What Alex is trying to say,(I think) is "I'm not trying to say that interlude is public domain. I'm saying that Jim isn't taking any action against infringement. I think he is not the originator of this illusion. In Russia there was a masked magician who exposed the workings of interlude, you may see it soon on american tv. I wrote Jim about it and he has not replied." Uh the rest is greek to me.. anyway that's what I though he said. In retrospect.. I don't think I'll be performing this illusion after, as there is too much going on with it.
