Illusion Systems Plans - Broom Suspension

Who could forget the memorable performances of this mystery by Richiardi or Siegfried and Roy? It's almost the perfect illusion. It can be done close up and surrounded, it's easy to carry and only two people are needed. It's disadvantage is the bulkiness and problems caused by the harness, but when one considers the effect of this marvelous prop, somehow the drawbacks disappear. In preparation for the magic show, the assistant is seen sweeping up and generally making ready for the upcoming performance. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the magician enters and commands the assistant to stand on a small stool, resting on an elongated platform. Quickly the magician puts her in a trance and, as she begins to lean to the left, her broom is turned upside down and placed under her arm for support. Completing the trance, the magician removes the tiny stool and she rests on the broom's straw, 5" above the platform. One broom is removed and she is suspended on the other. The magician delicately raises her to a position parallel to the ground while she is still resting on one broom. She is then lowered, the other broom re-inserted and the stool replaced. At the snap of the fingers, she awakens, the brooms are removed and the assistant collects her well-deserved applause. The construction documents give you all the details of this fabulous prop.
