sburstall Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 It's because of SCV and the Masked Magician that watching a magic show isn't fun anymore because I know how it was done...:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 The beauty of magic is that, even when you know how it works, you can still be amazed each time you see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-mac Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 For my money, the dissappering Phantom and dissappearing CORPS and RE-appearing Phantom on the back side of the field in '88 was much more effective. Especially since it was completely unexpected. By '89, everyone knew what was coming. The masks on the field just didn't have the same impact.

CrunchyTenor Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I still want to know how they "floated" the girl on the broomstick in 87! Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I still want to know how they "floated" the girl on the broomstick in 87!Garry she had a hinged board in he dress and when they set her on the stick by her arm you can see them lift her slightly to lock the hinge in place so when they pull the other stick out from under her legs she is supported by a board that she is lying on that is under her flowing dress and attached to the on stick by her arm. also the two girls who appear in 1987 are hiding under the material at the bottom of the box thing the appear in. if you look at the bottom of the box it is angled down so the two girls can hide in there.

MsBusDriver Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) The one thing that sticks out for me was in '88. My Husband and I followed the Corps that Summer cross country and we saw many shows. We didn't watch the last rehearsals before finals for some reason or other. However, when we saw Semi-finals, they did the "disappearing act" for the first time. My impression was this. When the "Phantom face" Curtain went over the majority of the horn line at the end of the show, for 1 split second my mind saw that horn line actually "melt" into the field. I thought that there must have been an elevator going "down" into the field like the trap door on a stage even though I knew that that couldn't be true. It was truly a "magical" moment and it totally blew this "70s" girls mind...let me tell you... Awesome...

Boooo. There is a special place in hades for people who tell the secrets of magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blublood Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Well in that case Chris my place in that fire and brimstone netherword is assured,because in my rookie year with BD 1990 i had a baritone friend marching SCV,and he took us for a tour of Vanguard hall and in one of the back rooms was that chair for the phantom magic effect Im sorry to confess that i broke it,an accident i assure you ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
