03 - Mini Illusion and Quickchange Show
03 - Mini Illusion and Quickchange Show
Yet, the show has been designed in such way that it can be presented in almost any
performance conditions and adapted to any venue. It will play equally good for very
large crowds as well as for smaller auditoriums.
SHOW DETAILS
The show is approximately 35 minutes long. It can be made slightly longer or shorter
as per Organizer’s requirements. The quickchange sequence of the show requires
somewhat longer reset, so this show can be performed up to 3-4 times a day.
- The raised stage is not mandatory. However, this kind of show looks best when
presented on a raised stage.
- The show can fully be performed even on small stages (we have managed to
perform it even on a 3m x 3m stage), but it looks best when performed on an
8m x 5m stage or larger.
- This show uses several pieces of large equipment, so some backstage space
for storage of the equipment and assistant’s costume changes between the
sequences of the show is needed.
- This show looks best when performed under professional lighting (spotlights of
500 W or more). The lights will enhance the visual aspects of the show, the
beautiful design of the props as well as the glamorous costumes George and
his assistant use on stage.
- A professional audio system is needed. Some of the music for the show should
be played on cues, so a technical rehearsal with a sound technician is
mandatory.
- Stagehands (1 or 2) are needed for this show. Local stagehands provided by
the Organizers can be used. Minimum 2 technical rehearsals with stagehands
are mandatory before the first show. The role of the stagehands is to handle the
equipment during the show as well as to help reset the show if performed
several times during the same day.
EQUIPMENT/PROPS
A good side of this show is that it can all be transported as check in luggage on the
plane (some prearrangements with the airlines are necessary in this case, having in
mind that the dimensions and weights of the cases are somewhat different from the
usual airline luggage standards).Also the shipment of the props can be organized in
such way so that large ATA cases can be transported as cargo shipment, while the
rest of the equipment can be carried as check in luggage. Some equipment used in
this show comes in ATA cases (items 1 to 5) and some of it comes in regular suitcases
(item 6). The weight (in kilos) and the dimensions (in centimeters) of the cases are:
1) 124 x 68 x 25 – 50 kg
2) 77 x 49 x 41.5 – 15 kg
3) 79 x 99 x 40 – 60 kg
4) 100 x 100 x 30 – 30 kg
5) 35.5 x 63.5 x 58 – 15 kg
6) 2 suitcases of approximately 25 kilos each
