Chair up There By Chris Stolz

PDF

The lights come up on a two foot high table with stairs. The performer climbs the stairs, places a chair on top of the table, and holds up a white curtain just big enough to hide the chair from view. The audience can see below the table, above the chair, to the sides, and through the spaces within the stairs. Within seconds the performer whips the cover away to reveal his beautiful assistant! This makes a great opening illusion and can also be used to vanish the assistant at the end of your routine.

This illusion can be well lit and does not require a fly system or rigging of any kind. There are no deceptive bases, gimmicked steps or uncomfortable hiding places. Your assistant will thank you!

Can this effect be performed outdoors? This version requires an indoor theater setting.

How fast is the appearance? 3 seconds or less. This one is QUICK!

How comfortable will my assistant be? She will be very comfortable. This effect is great for assistants who aren’t fans of tight hiding places.
