Some illusions may be recognized as professionally built but many Illusions in this section were built by the owner or the owner had them built under his direction. In most cases the builder has not been established. In some cases these illusions are not recommended for heavy duty use by full time touring professionals. See the Illusion Hotline for information regarding builders rights, names of builders - and permission to build. |

(UNKNOWN BUILDER) It is in very good shape, but needs a little sanding and paint touch up, as seen in one of the photo's. Dimensions are: 28 1/2 inches long...23 3/4 inches wide...37 1/2 tall (to top of chimney) From the bottom of the pan (where assistant sits) to top of chimney is 37 inches. I have installed a flash paper system into the chimney. Right before the assistant appears a flash comes out of the chimney. Assistant simply pushes a button. Works off of a 9 cell battery, rocket igniters, (found at hobby shops), and flash paper. Size of the flash depends on the size of the flash paper. Paper is located above the assistants head, and is completely safe.

BUILT BY OWNER The effect is a "penetration illusion" in which several giant tubes are passed through an assistant's body. The illusion is that there is no possible way that anyone could be inside the "phone-booth" size box with the large hollow tubes pushed into it in many different places and sides. Box and tubes are in good shape - including paint job. Photos show all that is included. Effect was hardly used and warn some only due to time and storage. Will deliver personally to Annandale, Va. And surrounding areas. VERY GOOD CONDITION OPENING BID $665 Pick Up / or Seller will deliver locally - Virginia ITEM# LU42136 |

WITH THE MAGICIAN (UNKNOWN BUILDER) We are moving and we have no room for this illusion. It is a one of a kind Backstage with the Magician illusion built with a twist. Instead of using two girls in this illusion it has an extra twist with 3 appearing girls. The illusion is performed just like the original backstage illusion but at the end when the girl pops out it is two different girls and the original girl can jump out last for the extra wait a minute wow factor. This illusion was custom made and built to last a long time. Does not break down and has no crate. Backdrop is built to fly and stand alone if fly system is not readily available. Illusion includes table, boxes, backdrop and an amazing routine. Can be picked up in Michigan - Will need a truck. |

(UNKNOWN BUILDER) The cabinet has been built to resemble a coffin and a heart-shaped block has been added. After confining your female "vampire" assistant inside the prop, you drive a wooden stake thru the heart! Two highly-reflective blades are thrust through, from side-to-side, and then the box is "folded back" on itself! It can be spun around at this point and even completely divided. The prop ---and assistant--- can be restored or the halves can be rolled off... stage right and stage left! This illusion was constructed from plans by both Abbott's and Paul Osborne. It is very sturdy. It will accommodate a LARGE assistant! For a smaller gal, there's a removable block so she better fills the coffin. It is very easy to do. The prop is in like-new condition, having only been used at Halloween. Gimmick material is spandex, not rubber; it won't wear out. There are five casters on top and bottom for effortless rolling. Other than its two halves, it does not come apart and no cases are included. OPENING BID $1,222 Plus Shipping ITEM# LU41658 |

VANISH / PRODUCTION (Builder Unknown) It's about a year and a half old, and I replaced a bar a few months ago that bent, so it's in perfect working order. I've done a variety of illusions using this- vanish, appear, transform, costume change, escapes, tortures, or it can simply make a great stage prop, etc. A very versatile illusion. For the vanish- the subject is locked inside the cage, the curtain is pulled over, and then moments later is yanked off to reveal the cage empty and the door still locked. It's in good condition with just a few scratches that aren't noticeable from the audience. Very heavy duty cage that breaks apart for easy transportation in the back of a mini van. Stands 5.5ft. high by 3.5 ft. wide. Has a side door that you can chain and padlock shut (padlock and curtain not included). Ship via Amtrak within the U.S. for around $100 |

INCH HOLE (Builder Unknown) A beautiful illusion, especially for an act that needs audience participation. A large, empty trunk is displayed, with a one-inch hole in the front panel. Lid is securely attached with four padlocks, then a long rope is run through the small hole in the front panel and out the bottom of the trunk. One end of the rope is held by a spectator, the other end is tied around the waist of your assistant. Large cloth is draped around the trunk, leaving your assistant's head in full view. At your command, the spectator tugs hard on the rope, and your assistant has vanished. The trunk is unlocked and opened, and your assistant is now inside, with the rope still around her waist! A dramatic, well built, and classic illusion. No cases or curtain included. |

(Builder Unknown) Use this illusion to easily produce someone. Only 2 seconds of cover is needed, use fog, gerbs, cloth, etc. The gimmick is made from unbreakable plexiglass.

Manufactured by Local Woodworkers This is a very unique Tip-over trunk/ Sub trunk combination. Produce 2-3 assistants, then use the same trunk later to transform yourself into one of your assistants. I had this built for a stage show that only lasted about 6 months. It is very sturdy and should last for many years to come. This trunk does not break apart. I will transport it within 200 miles of Austin, TX for the cost of gas or we can have it shipped to you whatever way we find to be the cheapest! |
