Baffling Bulbs

BAFFLING BULBS

A girl takes a position in front of 24 long lighted electric bulbs. Curtains are drawn at the cabinet sides and a shield with 24 openings placed at the front. By an ingenious Owen gearing mechanism the light panel is cranked forward and the bulbs can be seen to slowly penetrate the girl's body and protrude through the front shield. The front shield is removed, the curtains drawn back and there visible from all sides is the girl pierced by 24 glistening lighted bulbs. All of the previous problems of the original of this brilliant illusion have been eliminated by Owen. See photo in Color Section.

Hindu Basket Trick

THE HINDU BASKET TRICK

An unusual version of the Hindu basket. A young man is placed into the basket, covered with a cloth and the lid used to force him down. Now sharp swords pierce the basket from all sides and the magician may even tramp in the basket. When he decides to release his victim an amazing occurrence happens, for rising sinuously out of the basket is an exotic maiden clad in a shimmering cobra skin costume. Perhaps the youth has been devoured by the snake, but in any event for dramatic effect this is difficult to top.

Disembodied Princess

THE DISEMBODIED PRINCESS

This effect was created by Carl Owen for the great Howard Thurston. It was an immediate sensation; while previous illusions of the type had used stage traps or mirrors, Carl's "Disembodied" obviously did not. Now, in the Carl Owen tradition, Owen Magic has brought this illusion another giant step forward with two stunning features: 1) Operation of the illusion is automated, the illusionist can be the subject without assistance and all doors open and close under their own power, adding to the eerie effect. 2) The subject's head and legs are never out of view! Only the midsection, from neck to knees is ever covered, prior to becoming completely invisible! The apparatus shown is the "Industrial" design, other motifs can be created to your order. Owen Magic is the originator of this illusion, and has established its creative rights in court on behalf of our performer clients, who may be assured that their purchase is protected to the fullest legal extent.
