Thomas Moore calls "Wrapped" for an “illusionette”- something that packs small but can play on the biggest stage.
A highly versatile prop designed as a radical update of the “Assistant's Revenge” plot. It’s brilliantly deceptive, incredibly practical and completely unlike any other effect you own. Utilising a complete new principle - a mechanical marvel you will enjoy performing while leaving your audience completely baffled. Designed for real touring performers it’ll pack down small enough to travel as “Excess Baggage” (so perfect for the fly-on performer) and will only cost about the same as a "snow animator"! The very first “production unit” from Thomas Moores workshop went straight to an American magic megastar and since then Wrapped has been included in stage shows around the world.
The effect is simple, direct but very very powerful; there’s a metal post on stage and the magician is tied firmly to it. You can use pallet wrap, cling-film, gaffa tape, cellotape, hazard tape, police “do not cross” tape, (the possibilities are endless) and you can be tied up by ANY spectator; there’s no funny loops to go through, they can wrap you to the post as tightly as they like using as many knots as they like. Once they’re happy you’re completely secured your assistant holds up a cloth to cover you and in an instant you and your assistant change places INSTANTLY. Your assistant is now firmly wrapped to the pole (and has to be cut out!) whilst you’re free. It’s that simple and it’s that impossible.
The aluminium pole contains all the gimmicks making this effect completely self contained. It resets in seconds and has the punch of a mega-illusion but at a fraction of the price!
Wrapped has become one of Thomas Moores most talked-about creations, employing radical new methods and modern technologies to create a novel new presentation of one of the great classics. It’s been lauded by performers and enjoyed by audiences everywhere thanks to its simple premise and baffling method.
You get it complete with solid pole and basse, curtain and everything packed into a solid flight case.
