Highlights of the Grand Illusion & Amazing Stunt Show

Ms. Thing Illusion
Rachel kneels in a box which rests upon a table top two feet off the ground. The box is barely large enough to contain her. The audience can see under the table. There is no means of escape! Craig then folds the box down into a much smaller box (18 inches square)! Craig then thrusts two large swords right through the center of the box! Then in a dramatic crescendo Rachel's hands appear from within the box. This illusion is a Craig Davis original and is baffling even to other magicians.

Impaled Illusion
In one word, SHOCKING. Rachel dances out carrying a large sword. Craig mounts the sword in a base. Rachel then precariously balances on the tip of the sword. Amazing! Rachel then spins like a helicopter, atop the sword. Then, something goes wrong. She screams then falls. Her body goes limp as the sword shoots through the middle of her body. There is an audible gasp from the audience. Craig then magically brings Rachel back to life. She begins to twitch and dance horizontally, while still impaled on the sword. She magically rises up the sword and Craig helps her off.

Tubed Out Illusion
Rachel squeezes into a box barely large enough for a small child (3'x2'x2'). Next, two large hollow tubes are inserted through the box, one through the side, one through the front. Even more amazing, Craig drives ten individual, solid rods through the box, with the tubes still in it. Amazing!

Substitution Trunk Illusion
A member of the audience is selected to inspect a ruggedly constructed packing crate. Rachel is handcuffed, and locked in the crate which is then securely tied with four ropes. Craig stands on top of the crate while raising a curtain around himself and the crate. The curtain falls and Rachel is now standing free on top of the crate where Craig was standing only seconds before! Craig has disappeared! The crate is quickly untied and opened. Craig pops up out of the crate, now handcuffed, with all his beautiful tropical birds, which had vanished earlier in the show.

Sword Through Neck
A large, solid metal sword is shown to, and inspected by, the audience along with a stockade. The stockade is locked around the neck of a courageous volunteer from the audience. Craig then deliberately forces the sword right through the center of the stocks and out the other side, putting the sword "through" the spectator's neck.
Spectacular!

Totem Pole Escape
Craig's hands are handcuffed behind his back then forty feet of heavy steel chain and ten padlocks are used to secure him to an upright, heavy wooden beam. He is completely and obviously immobilized. In the blink of an eye Craig magically, in full view of the entire audience, materializes through the chains, leaving the chains hanging on the
post behind him.

Zig Zag Illusion
This is one of the most baffling illusions ever performed! Rachel enters a narrow, upright cabinet, which allows her face, hands, foot and stomach to be visible
to the audience. After she is secured in the cabinet, two large blades are inserted and her middle section is removed. Rachel is still able to laugh, speak and move her hands and foot.

Card Sword
Three members of the audience each freely select a playing card from a fanned deck. The members of the audience show their cards to those around them, then return their cards to the deck. Craig then shuffles the deck while Rachel displays a fencing sword. Craig tosses the entire deck into the air. As the cards flutter down, Rachel thrusts the sword upward into the midst of the falling cards. The three previously chosen cards are
impaled on the tip of her sword!

Juggling
Diversity is one of the reasons this show is so captivating. In addition to the illusions and magic you'll see exceptional juggling spiced with humor. Craig is an outstanding juggler, entertaining with a variety of juggling feats that include five clubs, fire torches, cigar
boxes and six balls. Craig and Rachel juggle together, throwing the clubs back and forth in intricate patterns.

Unicycling
It's impressive to see anyone riding one wheel. It's amazing to see someone juggling while riding one wheel. You can count on Craig to take the amazing one step further. He will ride a unicycle, while juggling three swords, completely blindfolded.
