Magic and Illusion - stage illusions


Expert: Nick - 12/15/2008

Question
Hi Nick - I have a son with budding talent who has wowed several audiences with his  play acting and magic.  He recently performed Houdini's metamorphosis illusion with fog, lights and music for his 8th grade project for his school.  He and my husband built the trunk.  I am looking to give him blueprints as a Christmas present for another illusion he and my husband can build.  It took them some time, but they were able to work with a pretty simple blueprint and make the trunk work.  What do you think?  And do you know where to purchase them?  Thank you so much!  p.s. If you want to catch his video on youtube look for Jonah Walker metamorphosis illusion. - Beth

Answer
Hi Beth.  There's a series of DVDs/Books called "Illusion Works" which has directions on how to build the important parts of illusions and different illusions themselves.  you can shop around, but i know that   the magicwarehouse.com has the DVDs and a book.  The books may be a little harder to track down.  I believe you can find the DVDs and Books and many illusion at  magicauction.com.  I have to admit I have only purchased from the magic warehouse though. Anyways, hope this helps.
