Working on a feather boa to girl in a BLAMMO BOX.

Most of the time, when the girl appears (at the end of the effect), the feather boa protrudes from under the trap. Even if I put it the most I can in the back, the air made by the falling flap makes it protrude. Any tips?

I guess if you put, for example, some pieces of Velcro tape at the edges of the boa, it will stay where you put it...or maybe with magnets...

Hi Arno,
Is it a Blammo from Fairchild?
Maybe you need a Boa heavier or larger (even actually with little weights fixed inside the boa)? And place it very compact in a back. I have never performed this effect for the moment, but I have seen this prop close, and I didn't notice such a problem.
But a weight - poids de plomb Smile - to make the boa heavier or trying with another boa is the solution, I think.

Cheers,
Stephane Arnow

Why would you not end with the girl wearing the boa? Do you really believe people will think the boa was transformed into a girl? By ending with her appearance wearing the boa, you have a perfect conclusion for the effect.

I certainly hope the girl is wearing the boa. However, it is a duplicate, not the one they put in.

When I did this, all I did was cut the one to vanish shorter, and that solved the problem .
I took about 12" off and no one has ever noticed.

Again, I hope you are putting the boa in, and then the girl appears wearing the boa (duplicate).

Hope this helps,

sam

PS: My Blammo is currently available for sale.
