Razamatazz
Illusions
Not many people know that Andy & Sue don't just do children's magic shows. You might be interested to know that they are also close up magicians, an accomplished illusion act & even have performed a fantastic clown show.
illusion actBelow you will see a gallery of photos taken from one of their various great Illusion stage shows. Here you can see the facinating world of Razamatazz magic and illusion. This is a small selection of many illusions that Andy & Sue have performed & these illusions are not in performance order.
Andy Fant has been a great friend over the years. His technical knowledge & advice have been a big help & thanks to his support as well as helping design & modify complicated stage illusions for the shows all has been a big success.
The Theme of the night was science fiction hence you can see the back of a full size cardboard cut out of Darth Vader behind !
A large cabinet is wheeled on stage. The cabinet has a large window with yellow stripes so that the audience can see into the illusion.
Andy enters the stage in a sci fi costume holding a doll also dressed in a silver sci fi costume. The doll is placed into the cabinet in full view of the audience.
Andy stands back and stares at the illusion.
Amazingly, the doll magically moves inside the illusion and the audience can see the doll start to dance.
Andy rotates the cabinet around so that the audience can see all round the illusion.
Finally there is a loud bang & bright flash from pyrotechnic effects as Andy removes the lid from the illusion.The sides collapse !!!
Amazingly the doll vanishes & Sue appears by magic wearing the same costume as the doll.
She has become a life sized living doll. A fantastic start to the show !!!
Andy & Sue are on stage. A frame is brought on & fastened around Sue's middle. The lights on stage go out & Andy brings on a rack of flourecent light tubes all lit up.
The flourecent lights are switched off & then are pushed into the frame clipped around Sue so that the long light strips go through her body & come out the front.
Now Andy switches the lights back on to show they are still fully working & have gone right through Sue's body.
How do they do it .... Sorry they wont tell you,
........ it's MAGIC !!!
Andy and Sue dramatically produce beautiful doves in front of the audience showing these graceful birds flapping their wings as they walk the birds up their fingers.
The doves are placed one by one into a large bird cage at the back of the stage.
Sue now covers the cage with a black velvet cloth and starts to float the cage into the air
Sue now shows her magical skill as she throws the cloth away to reveal the cage and doves have vanished into thin air !!!
This is an audience favourite, and it's good job too because doves take many hours of practice to train and use in a show. Also they have to be well looked after at home in their cages so it is nice to see the audience still love to see these beautiful birds perform.
