I will be posting a build for this in the tutorial section next week.It's pretty easy to build & building materials are a few things,you may even have around the house & even if you have to buy,should be under $20.
Halloween magic show,cool. I do magic shows in oct for some of the local elemenrty schools,just doing for halloween or you do "prestagitation" on a regular basis ?

The vid was shot in japan on a performance tour. I think it was funny
that he was teasing her with the "missing" legs before he did the trick.
Lancashire eh, My mum's from Manchester,got to visit there several times,
loved crusing the counrty sides & especially the castles.

each year i do a haunted house for the trick or treaters. each year i change the theme. this year i am doing mystical, magical, madness. i am going to have wizards, witches, warlocks, and magicians. i will probably have 15 twelve year olds helping. we usually don't practice but this year we will have to. i have a resesitating annie to cut in half i want to squirt some water out of her mouth. i want to have a giant hat to pull a rabbit out of [one of the kids dressed up as an evil rabbit]. my daughter wants to have a kid in a box we poke swords into. i am going to have a gypsy tell fortunes that puts a spider on the underside of the tots hand, when they turn the hand over there is the spider. this trick looks doable. i will save your tuitorial in my faves and show the kids. they will love it. i also make the tots participate somehow in a game. i am going to have them play rat splat. someone posted this game and i thought it looked fun. any more suggestions are welcome. remember they are 12 year olds so nothing complicated.

i just showed this to my grandson and one of the haunter friends. they thought it was awesome and want to know how to do it. they think they can do it.

I love working with kids,the imagination factor is great to play on, it is an easy prop to build & just as easy to perform.In the middle of putting together a big hot rods car show our club does for the 4th(even though we have it on the sat before)
So sunday while i'm recooping from sats gig, i can put together a tutorial on this for you all.I'll see if i can think up some ideas for your magic show for that age group for ya. DL (a.k.a.,Merlin-in the non halloween world)

i love kids as well. these kids have been great in showing up and growing more each year. i started with something like 10 kids the first year. last year i had something like twelve. this year i am planning on around 15 kids. the kids are real excited about the idea of wizards and magic. looking forward to a fun year. anything you can give will be considered. we sure love the legs illusion.
