BassTrombonium Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Hello all - I have been wondering about '89 Vanguard "disappearing act" at the end of their show. If you are unaware, take a look at the 1989 tape of SCV. I'd hate to spoil it, but towards the end there is a baritone soloist who ends up "vanishing" into midair! Quite the GE attribute, I must say. Does any body know how they pulled that off? The video is hardly revealing...at least to my naked eye! Maybe I'm just looking too hard... Here's a link to a picture right before it happens. He doesn't look so comfortable in that chair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancerFi Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Did that only happen at finals? Did the corps go under those undulating masks with feet showing only at finals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcimarky Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Not one to usually give away a Magic trick, but you can see him breathing after the sheet is pulled back. Just look a little closer.......(at the floor) :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpsPhan Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 yeah....i saw his legs moving around under that black cover-thingy...........still cool as heck though That's for sure. I was at finals in '89 and it was definitely "magic" that night. Only a geek like me would look at the finals broadcast over and over to see how it was done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
