Take Off by Jason Palter

The Vanishing Airplane for Parlor and Stage

THE "OUT TO LUNCH" MAGIC PRINCIPLE... BUT NOW JUMBO!

Now you can look like you're performing a "big" illusion like the pros do - but on a budget!

The trick "Out to Lunch" was first marketed in the 1940's. The effect was that of a small stack of cards containing images of a boy standing next to a rope he was about to climb. After the spectator initialed a card and it was removed from the stack, the card was shown and it revealed that the boy had disappeared, but in his place, it said "Out to Lunch" - and still the card contained the original initials.

There have been many other variations of the trick over the years, however they all rely on the same premise, now known as the "Out to Lunch" principle.

Jason Palter's TAKEOFF is his fresh take on this trick's foundation, but uses JUMBO cards so it can be performed close-up (as the original effect was intended) or on stage.

Here is the FUN and highly COMMERCIAL Effect:

You state that just like the mega-stars of magic like David Copperfield, Siegfried & Roy, etc. did the huge tricks for crowds ("Illusions, as we magicians call them..."), you would love to do something really BIG for your audience too! The problem, you explain, is that you really cannot afford something that large ("I'm sorry folks, but purchasing an elephant or a for this trick just isn't possible at this point in my life."). However, all is not lost! You tell them that you are going to still do something amazing. You're going to vanish an airplane - but do the "poor man's" version of the illusion.

You show a stack of 8.5 x 11
