Magic.

In 2005, I worked during the asummer season on a cabaret illusion / magic show. Two Las Vegsa based performetrs, one a concert painist, the other a master magician. Jarret & Raja. They've got a video on YouTube, that was filmed as a promo for the Blackpool show. I'm not visible in it, but there's a few shots where I'm actually invisible, but very much there (proper magic).

If you fancy, take a look at the show.

Alright then, I'll bite. Where are you "invisible" in it?

Liking the trailer music alot...and the chainsaw trick was fairly cool but not as cool as Criss Angel's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0BukAy_dko

Generally in the wings, but just out of shot but there's one trick in there that had two of us dressed head to toe in black velvet 'ninja suits', carrying a giagantic black velvet cloth and making a huge prop appear instantly.

Nice. I like the girls freaking out and running around :)

Our top half then goes and plays the piano (backwards, while laying on the table), while his legs lie on the table, dancing. Which is quiet neat.

Our biggest problem was getting that damm chainsaw started each time. The magician couldn't vere get it to happen in the show, so we had to have a stagehand start it for him.

Saw the playing piano, had to laugh at that :)

Chainsaws are buggers to start full stop...well for me. I must just be weak or something!

This one startd every time in rehearsal, for everyone using it. And every time in show for the stagehands, but the magician often couldn't get it to start during the show.
