At Stevens Magic we are big fans of Mark Parker. As a visionary, designer of illusion and thought provoking routines and a solid stand up guy. Populate - An illusionary appearance of a small crowd. Introduction by Eric Olsen of EDF Magic This is the first in a series of single illusion publications by renowned Illusion designer Mark Parker, author of illusion books 'Vivify' & 4E Illusion Design. Populate is Parkers take on the Guy Jarrett 21 person cabinet. In this version an elevated framework structure, screened with fabric is shown completely empty & revolved 360 degrees. In an instant the fabric is stripped away revealing the surprise appearance of 26 people. The illusion is self contained, performed away from any backdrops and requires no black art. A stunning and surprising appearance of a small crowd of people. The illusion is described in detail complete with dimensions and construction notes. The apparatus required is designed to break down into individual sections for easy transport Printed in glorious full color throughout, complete with detailed 3 dimensional illustrations. "Mark has a devilishly creative mind that scares me!"-Lu Chen "Populate is a wonderful & surprising illusion. Mark's elegant design solution to this plot is a must read."- Charles Bach - Las Vegas "Mark Parker is an explosive creative genius of illusion design! A rare combination of style and intellect --sometimes bold and sometimes practical --but always a thing to behold. Fascinating excellence!"- Brett Daniels - USA
