Looking for an affordable and unique small illusion? This is it!
Your assistant puts her head in a small box that sits on her shoulders. Her face is clearly seen. It's a tight fit, no room to move around or even wiggle her head.
You grab hold of the massive handles on the top of the cabinet and twist the crank. Loud Crack!-Crack!-Crack! sounds come out of the box as your assistant's head appears to twist completely around her body several times! Then you twist her head in the opposite direction (to "untwist" it) before showing that she is unharmed, with her head back to the normal position!
This one's eerie, as the audience sees the assistant's face each time her head spins around!
You can even perform this illusion surrounded! It is super deceptive. NO fake head is used! And NO mirrors! This is a reputation maker, an illusion your audience won't forget!
Note: You need your own assistant for this, and he/she will need to practice this effect.
Outer cabinet is 13" x 11" x 14". Brightly painted wood construction.
