Event Horizon
Andrew Mayne
(Based on 1 review)
Is it an escape, a penetration or a teleportation?
Members of the audience are asked onstage to inspect a 24? metal plate with a 7? hole cut in the center. After they've inspected it to their satisfaction they're invited to sit down. The illusionist then sticks one arm through the center of the hole and grasps the edge of a curtain with the metal plate trapping his arm and separating him from the front of the stage. In one violent motion the magician is now standing in front of the metal plate apparently having either passed through it or teleported from one side to the other.
This new twist on Andrew Mayne's A-Frame illusion is a super-compact effect that can be built quickly using off the shelf parts from a hardware store and fit inside a suitcase.
Event Horizon can be adapted to perform in most every performing environment. No assistants required.
DVD running time 20 minutes

The video production and editing are very good.
If you have seen the trailer on Youtube, what you see is what you get.
It is simple, it is easy to build, and it is explained extremely well. What is impressive about this quick illusion is that almost everything can be purchased at your local hardware store. It can fold down pretty flat as well.
My only problem with this effect is that it seems a tad obvious. In the demo, Andrew seems to be a little clumsy in the demonstration. Could this be a stunner on stage with good lighting, music, and a practiced method . . . I am not sure. I watched the demo a few times before I proceeded with the rest of the DVD. My guess for the method was correct; however, that does not mean a lay audience would guess it.
I am somewhat split on this one. I would have felt better had I seen this demonstrated in front of a live audience instead of in a storage shed unit's alley.
So I leave it to you. The Demo Video on Youtube says it all. If it appeals to you, then it is worth the money.
