From Andrew Mayne, creator of Ghost Vision and Gut Buster, an astounding new solo illusion.
Effect
Imagine being able to shrink down to just two feet in height before your audience with no boxes or covers. Shrinker makes that possible. A revolutionary illusion that goes way beyond anything before it. In full view you'll be able to shrink yourself, walk around and then restore your height as baffled spectators watch. Use it as an opening, a closing or at any other time in your show. Or just mess with random people on the street.
Along with the Shrinker presentation you'll get several different applications for a variety of performing situations including Shrinker Entrance: An appearance utilizing Shrinker that can be performed in a 360 degree environment. Shrinker can be used on stage, in children's shows and in your living room.
Shrinker comes complete with apparatus and DVD instructions. Everything can be assembled in minutes.

This can not be done surrounded or in any 360 degree environment without looking extremely fishy. You can do this effect as an opener or closer, yes, provided you don't mind wearing clothes that are obviously too baggy for you and you don't need to bend forward any time during your presentation. The "Shrinker Entrance" is really the only salvageable portion of this effect, as it definitely does make a great impression and it's a wonderful way to start your stage routine. The other methods described here (using a doorway, umbrella, 360 curtain) obviously limit this effect.
You won't be wearing this to a party unless you're just staying for a few minutes because the first person that gives you a hug or touches your torso is going to wonder what's wrong with you.
As it stands, this is a nice little throwaway effect that you could conceivably toss into your existing stage routine in the right circumstances (provided you control the angles tightly). However, this should easily be half the price or less.
