Now tell me if this was already created because i dont want to steal
anybodys idea. So here it is.

EFFECT:
It is a simple tip over trunk/ sub trunk. The assisstant or magician
get into the trunk and get tied in a bag or handcuffed. Then the
assistant closes the lid tips it over and shows that the magicians
gone.(tip over trunk method). Then she steps on top of the trunk and
switches place, covered by a sheet, with the magician through a top
trap.

Good Idea?
Let me know!

Don't know if it's been done or not....
But there's no reason it wouldn't work...
But I'm trying to think about the psychology of the thing... i.e. How
or why do you exchange places with a person who has already vanished?
What is the motivation for that?
These are rhetorical questions... what motivates the plot?
Technically there is no issue to consider (except that it would
probably be easier to use a rear trap than a top trap), it's the story
line that doesn't seem right...

Hmmm... I agree with Q about the reasoning, but i also think that
with the right patter explaining how one can vanish and then reappear
as someone else, etc. you could make an outstanding illusion! Keep us
posted with how its going...

im afraid this piece of equipment has already been created several
times

check right near the bottom of the page

not to say it isn't a bad idea, i've never personally seen it in a
show so perhaps your presentation is original

Yeah, you're talking about morphing "Metamorphosis" and the "Tip
Trunk" vanish trick. That's pretty cool and I haven't seen anyone
merge those together to make one trick. Nice idea.
