Here you see that the man does something behind the women and the the top drops down into a purple dress.

This is a very old trick.


Twas' capitalised on by ABBA back in the eurovision song contest - you know, the one where they dance about for a bit and then rip their skirts off?

Unsurprising how they won really.

Anyway, i'm under the impression this is the same trick, just far more elaborate.

To the OP: What, you surely don't believe in magic, do you?

I'll second the comment about it being the work of the DEVIL! =)

Impressive stuff and that chainsaw act was pretty well done too. It was a little hokey, but the effect was great.

I have noticed that. It's very interesting.
It may be an old trick... but that still doesn't explain it.

I certainly noticed that she looks a bit "heavier" in the end (but I WAS looking for that, after all :-)).

This analysis of yours is really cool!
Thanks.
I'll go back and compare every sequence with it.

Be it as it may... they are really GOOD.

And, even not being a fan of stage magic, I must admit some illusions do have true POETRY to them.

I don't HAVE to... believe in it, I mean.

That was my first impression, too.
It is the same woman, only her hair (wig) changes - but it's really cool how her entire EXPRESSION seems to have changed, too.

They are really good, these two.
I like them!

By the way... does anyone have an idea of how David Copperfield performed the "Orson Welles" bit?

That's was a very fun illusion, too!


P.S. I am sorry for not providing a link or anything, but I was thinking if anyone HAS an idea, then s/he has probably seen it already...
