  • Looking for directions on an illusion

    Sorry for the poor description, but . . .

    I am looking for a how to on the illusion of a vertical half "eaten" body. The effect has the actors head and arms and maybe part of the chest. From there down its prop and I assume mirror based illusion which pretty much ends in a bloody spine hanging. I thick Headless horseman hayride had one at one point.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is a fairly simple illusion... all you need is:

    -Wood for a box and stand
    -Paint/wallpaper
    -2 square mirrors (must be exactly the same)
    -Spinal chord, painted

    I've attached a simple diagram of how the illusion is created... Simple put the bloody spinal chord were the two mirrors meet in the middle. Use a jacket and an attached shirt/vest to blend in the spinal chord "into the actor" to really pull off the sell.

    I hope this helps. -Tyler

        No problem.... and I have no idea were it came from. I just googled what you were looking for, found it, posted it. I think it came from a newspaper actually!

          The mirror allignment and background are tricky, be prepared to adjust it as need be...,
          Listen to them, Children of the night. Oh what music they make.

              half man illusion

              http://cgi.ebay.com/HALF-MAN-HALLOWE...3A1%7C294%3A50

              hope this helps to the mirrors are placed from the base of the spine and one fits into each rear corner and the diagram tyler gave is perfect i can say this there is also one called voodoo torture and one called spill the guts and these range around 3.000 to 5.000 dollars this one he is offering is a great deal you would want to make it taller though his name is lorne and i am mike

                        Wow....to say the least, I searched for hours on end trying to find how to make this illusion. I never got a single hit, so I used Google Sketch Up to make blue prints. If you want, I can try to find them for you. Just a kind word of warning, they haven't been tested in real life, but they theoretically will work.

                              I am so sorry that I didn't see this earlier. I'll go hop down onto my desktop and try to find them. I'll send you both the blue prints.
