My s/o has begun learning some magic/balloons/etc and I'm looking to add something that we can perform as a duo. I'm hoping she'll take over in balloon sculpture (I've lost interest in balloons of late) and she doesn't seem to be as interested in magic as I. So.... I figured some quick change routines could be fun for us to do together....

I'd obviously like to have some reviews before I dish out cash if possible...

Now this sounds like fun. I'm no help, but the concept intrigues me.

Yep, I've seen them perform and they're great. They were (maybe are) booked for halftime shows for years before America's Got Talent - where they got mass exposure.

They claim to have a unique system of quick change with a patent so no idea how similar it will be to anything avaliable in media at the moment.

I saw an old quick change video. It was by a magic shop who produces how to videos. It looked like it was made some time ago and the performers were oriental. They said the technique was a very old one in their country and showed exactly how to make and perform the illusion. I wish I could remember the name of who made the video. I think the company was in the northeast or poss. D.C. area if that helps anyone.

It would take a lot of commitment to creat a show using that. I sew and decided it was to much trouble without enough pay back. I don't want to dedicate my life ot one or two illusions and making a show of it.

The couple from americas got talent spent a year with Big Apple Circus before that show. Nice people but I don't know about having a patent on such an old technique. Like they say...there is no new magic.

I wonder if it is one of the Steven's Emporium video series from the early 80's. If so Fred (Katie's dad might know about it.) becuse Twin Cities Magic bought the rights to release the series on DVD with some updating.
