Crystal Visions |
|
Jason is about to transform this little bunny into a beautiful assistant. Don't blink! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bunny has turned into one of Jason's beautiful, magical, assistants. WOW! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fly with me! |
|
Jason has an audience member feeling a little light in the head. Look mom, I am floating! |
|
|

|
Ta-Da!!! |

Jason striking a pose, to a well deserved applause(Vogue)... |

|
C Thru U a puzzling, cutting edge, illusion. |
|
One of Jason's beautiful assistents sits in small box. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the doors are closed, there is no turning back for her. Jason is looking through a cylindrical tube. He is about to impale the top section of the box with it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jason is reaching through to show the absence of anthing tricky. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A second tube is slid in from the side. This time through the bottom section of the box. (I wonder if that hurts?) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You want more? |
|
As if the tubes and a blade are not enough, Jason then removes the bottom of the box. The audience can now see through the tubes, AND the vacant space where the assistan's body was. Is she invisible? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jason revolves the illusion to show all sides, and angles, where did she go? Is she OK? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I can see through you! |
|
Jason is behind the box looking through the tubes as the audience. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOW! |
|
When everything is returned back to normal, the assistant reappears unharmed! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A rose for me? |
|
With a wave of his hand, Jason makes a beautiful rose appear. Awww... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fastest illusion in the world! |
|

Handcuffed and tied in a sack. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jason manages to find himself in her place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Um... I hope you have the keys? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is that the key in your hand? |
|
|
|

|
Thank you, and good night! |
