Shrinking And Growing Head Illusion
Bruce Kalver
(Based on 1 review)
DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH ANY OTHER SPIRAL ILLUSION. YOUR HEAD ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IT IS INFLATING LIKE A BALLOON!
The magician displays a 15-inch, specially made spiral disk; imagine the kind a hypnotist might use. The spiral is spun and you instruct the audience to stare at the spiral and not look away. You start to count backwards from 10 to 1, and when you reach one, you tell the audience to look at your nose. TO THEIR AMAZEMENT, YOUR HEAD BEGINS TO GROW LIKE A BALLOON BEING INFLATED!
Every audience will want you to do it again so this time you have the audience select a partner. Spin the disk the other way, and when they look at their partner THEIR PARTNER'S HEAD BEGINS TO SHRINK!
The spiral can be seen in large auditoriums. It is perfect for birthday parties. People are amazed and always yell "do it again!" The hardest part of this illusion is trying to keep a straight face as your entire audience stares at you in disbelief with their mouths wide open. You are going to love this!
Spiral Disk Diameter Approximately 15" (38cm)

I don't know if this is kosher or not. I have not performed this effect and don't own it. However, I was in the audience - about 300 people in a school auditorium - when magician performed it.
It actually does what it purports to do. Angles must be taken into account for a large audience. The first time he performed it, about 3/4 of the audience saw the amazing effect of his growing and shrinking head. He repeated it from a different place on the stage and another 3/4 of the audience indicated they saw it.
The illusion, for that is what it is, works. If you have a very expressive or "memorable" face, it is even better.
