BIG HEADLINE
dave kaplan
It's the greatest thing to get out of Penguin Magic since ... Look. It's huge. It's giant! Seriously, it's huge! It is an illusion that holds in your pocket but which fills the biggest scenes. What starts with a torn and restored newspaper becomes the transformation of a person on stage. Tested all over the world, this illusion will flow a lot of ink for years. It's Big Headline by Dave Kaplan with Lucy Darling.
The effect:
You start by talking to your audience about an article you saw in the newspaper and you want to read, taking out a piece of newspaper in your pocket. When this piece of newspaper does not contain the right article, you get another one, then another, and yet another. Then, in the blink of an eye, the pieces are visually reconstructed to form a normal size journal. But the effect does not stop there. Suddenly, the newspaper opens and doubles in size. It opens, still doubled, then becomes even larger. He becomes so tall that he seems to be engulfed the artist! Then, when the newspaper falls, it is a completely different person who is behind.
Big Headline is a huge newspaper made entirely of Tyvek, which does not tear and lasts a lifetime. The tutorial features Lucy Darling, who has changed the impossible person with The Great Kaplan using the Gimmick Big Headline hundreds of times at the Magic Castle. You get all the details so that a person's transformation into another is perfect in almost all scenic environments.
Big Headline is a perfect MC-bit to introduce a number on stage in a surprising way. You can use it to produce the CEO or the guest of honor for your next business concert. It is the perfect cover for any show that needs a comic gag before making a quick change. You don't even need to take another tour with it, the newspaper that grows is a hilarious gag all by itself. Several methods are taught so that you can load it from a stage wing, your suitcase, or even a body load with the hidden gimmick inside your costume. It is space -saving and very effective. Professionals around the world have added this effect to their shows and obtain excellent reactions from their audience.
Make an effect that will literally appear in the newspapers when you present Big Headline by Dave Kaplan & Penguin Magic!
