In Half: The Amazing One Man Self-Sawing Illusion

Andrew Mayne, creator of Illusion EFX, Levitator and Gut Buster presents an amazing twist on a classic illusion.

Step into an upright cabinet made from two cardboard boxes and then visible separate the two halves of your body! Slide the top box to the side and the audience can both your upper torso and legs are completely separated. Then blow their minds as you lift your upper body up with your hands showing your waist is several inches off the floor of the cabinet and detached completely! The top box is then slid back and you emerge intact. • Costs less than $60 in materials to build • Requires no power tools • Folds down flat • Can be built in under one hour • Requires absolutely no assistants

On this instructional DVD Andrew Mayne provides complete step-by-step instructions in building and performing the illusion. Also included is a bonus variation of the effect, Half Man.

I just got home from working at the warehouse with Justin Young on a brand new magic project. I don’t want to tell too much while it’s still a work in progress. I don’t want to be too cagey either.

We started working on one thing and it just wasn’t working out. I was ready to throw in the towel and call it a night. Then I remembered an idea I had a long time ago. Then I remembered another idea that was seemingly unrelated. I put them together.

We started playing with the materials at hand and then it all came together.

Thanks to Justin’s patience and creativity, we have something very cool in the works.

I can say this:

• It’s an illusion
• It can be performed by one man (or woman)
• It’s got a couple different presentations
• You’ll be able to make it for under $50
• It’ll take you 20 minutes to build
• It’s going to look like a big illusion
• It packs ridiculously flat

Feel free to speculate in the comments. I’ll be posting photos next week.
