Hey There.

I have seen an escape I like and want to buy it?

It involves the magician getting tied up in ropes with no jacket on. he stands in a curtain with a member from the audience with a jacket on, the curtain is raised, then dropped and the magician is seen still tied up in the ropes but he has the volunteers jacket on, with the ropes tied over the top of the jacket?

Any links etc would be great, I hope I explained it ok?

Cheers,

James,

It sounds like a 'spirit cabinet' effect. A recent(ish) discussion on the same question you asked can be found here:

The Gallos from Sweden sell that effect on one of their new DVD:s. They have done it for 20 years with great succes. I'd recomed that DVD. http://gallo-magic.com/

I saw the effect at FISM and it was great. They do it with a lot of class. I later talked to Jahn and he is a really nice guy who wil help you get on with the effect!

Hi Buster,

The Cannons also sell an up-to-date version using handcuffs. Not sure what its called, but its on their site http://www.cannonsgreatescapes.com

I've not got it, but I've seen it and it looks nice.

Hello There!

Sorry, I am not selling my version of The Spirit Cabinet on a DVD! Got it from my mentor Gentleman Jack some 35 years ago and it would be like selling our child if we sold it.
Best regards

Oh, sorry, I thought you sold it at FISM. Obvously my fall. So sorry!

(Jag ber så hemskt mycket om ursäkt för den posten. Hoppas inte folk hör av sig och ber om den nu.)

Still - your presentation rocks!
