John Shryock and Mari Lynn - Masters of Illusion

[licensedtolive]

At 2:39 the assistant rolls the gurney away, carrying the woman, who has flattened herself under the black covering. You can even see her toes pointing forward.

If you look very carefully at about 1:42, as soon as the magician tosses the blanket over the woman, she immediately drops into the basket, which already appears to be open. I think her stretching out her toes at the beginning has something to do with holding herself up. Also note her dropping the netting on entry. I'm sorry to say, I think YouTube gives ordinary blokes like me the ability to dissect what would otherwise be passable performances.

master? u mean novice????

this guy with this trick sucks..

but he could do this much better I guess.. needs some practice and better tools...

[magicofscottwolf]

@szricsi80 You have no clue dude. If you knew anything, anything at all about the art of magic, you would be out there doing it instead of spending all your time surfing the net bashing the professionals. Guess what? John is on national Television and your not bone head

1:42 amateurs, hah

way to ruin such a cool trick

[hehekkk]

It's odd really, basically she sneaks into the table which is somehow prepared to release and bog down, then the cover itself has some aerodynamic motion that shaped the body. you can see that closely when it moved upwards it went high because it was buffed on top of the lady's body and then when the lady bogged down it moved downwards too. However its light weight (because it's air) allowed him to hold it meanwhile his helper came and held it him self giving John time to free his hands.

@kingoflightsworn2  Dan Sperry, and he's NOT emo !!!!!!!!!

[BRDrag]

Also, correct me if im wrong (because its just a thought), but for the levitation portion of this illusion I think he's holding it up himself, then whatever he's holding he passes to the boy when he gives him the circle, then he takes it back as he passes it over the "body".

they didn't have to tell the TV audience in advance how the Ashrah/Gossamer Flight would work out

[phatbusted]

Yeah, real clumsy what she did at 1.42 ..

[yeshevishman]

Certianly one of the best versions of this than I've seen.. far better than any of the presentations I've seen of the Klamm version.
