Hindu Strip Basket Illusion

This is my version of the classic Hindu Sword Basket Illusion. The magician hypnotizes his assistant then vanishes her into a basket . Next he places four swords and one staff into the basket . Is his assistant ok ? We'll see ... as the magician pulls out the swords , pieces of her costume comes with it. The magician eager to see his bare assistant opens the basket but finds it empty . To prove she's vanished the magician steps into the basket .Where has she gone? With a wave of the hand, magically she reappears for a surprise ending.

Getting back into magic has been so much fun ! Having the opportunity to perform stage Illusions is a dream come true ! Right Now I am researching classic Illusions and re-vamping them with a touch of burlesque. My latest Illusion is a classic known as the Mismade Lady .

The Mismade Lady has it's origins from an older Illusion known as the stacked box .Where boxes are stacked and your lovely assistant appears. The idea to mismake the lady came much later by an american Illusionist named Chuck Jones. Since then it has become a classic in magic and I am fortunate to be able to perform it and hopefully add my own personality to the Illusion.

Thank You Dallas Burlesque Festival. If you'd like to see more photos from the dallas burlesque festival click here or here .

Magic by Edward Ruiz

I recently got back into performing magic . I decided to start building my own stage illusions. One of the first was this fun arm illusionette inspired by Larrry White's tri section Illusion.. The effect is that the magician cuts his arm into three sections and then lifts away the center piece. Proof is shown of the disconnect and then all is restored. Over all a pretty good effect . An oldie but goodie. I am so glad I decided to build and perform this Illusion. photos by Karleen ruth . check out this video
