The Magician displays a trapdoor rescued from an old, demolished theater.
The audience is told that things didn't come through the trapdoor; they were magically inside the trapdoor.
Placing the trapdoor on a modern table the Magician removes a framed magic poster.
Next an 8 foot ladder is lifted out. The audience has a clear view through the table as the props are apparently pulled out of nowhere.
Now the Magician pulls out an old dirty curtain from the theater. With a shake of the curtain it changes into a brand new one. The Magician drapes the curtain over the trapdoor.
Finally, a shape begins to emerge from the trapdoor under the cloth.
The Magician pulls away the cloth to reveal the assistant has appeared from nowhere.
'Trapdoor' is a unique routine ending with the appearance of the assistant.
Alternatively, Tim's extended routine has the assistant vanish only to reappear from the trapdoor as the climax - eliminating the need for pre-setting the assistant in the prop back stage.
Price $6,500 plus shipping.
Includes Tim Clothier's performance rights; instructions, ladder, curtain and poster.
