Greetings! Looking for suggestions for the easiest way to vanish a person (me) on a proscenium stage.
Stage has no traps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey good question.

Are you working with any girl assistants? If you are, how many?

Wasn't there one with a 3 fold screen - - and 1 assistant.

A tip-over trunk will work.

The mummy sarcophagus illusion can be adapted for both appearing and disappearing stage effects. It primarily depends on the presentation and routine designed by the performer. In an appearing version, the magician or an assistant might seemingly emerge from the sarcophagus. In a disappearing version, the performer could enter the sarcophagus and then mysteriously vanish. The versatility of this illusion makes it suitable for various magical performances.The mummy sarcophagus illusion can be adapted for both appearing and disappearing stage effects.

If you're looking to disappear from the stage and reappear elsewhere, like in the back of the theater or in the middle of the audience, I'd recommend considering an elevated platform combined with black art techniques. This can create a powerful illusion.I'm not sure about your capabilities for building elaborate props. If you're aiming for simplicity and using objects you can find around your house, consider experimenting with sheets or large cardboard boxes. These materials can be versatile and more accessible for a DIY approach to magic illusions. Let me know if you need more guidance on a specific method!

Things don't get simpler than a black art table, assuming the stage has a black backdrop and has curtains that can be drawn after the vanish.
