Too many tricks for one sleeve
Extreme Illusions & Escapes collection is one of the largest touring the USA today. With repeat engagements they are constantly adding new exciting routines each year, and pushing the envelope on developing new and unique experiences for their audiences. Below, is just a selection of their most popular routines, many of which, have been fan favorites at thousands of performances.
The Illusions
Ejection Seat
This illusion, an audience favorite, sends Josh to new heights as he is strapped and buckled into a fighter pilot Ejection Seat for a one of a kind finale with a salute to the troops. 3..2..1…Blast Off!
Nine
Most illusionists cut their assistant in half, this illusion uses 16 blades to separate Lea into 9!
Lea’s Favorite Illusion
The first illusion Lea ever learned (and since performed thousands of times!) — with two tubes and a blade, she gets cut in half…to the extreme.
Squished
Witness 6 foot tall Josh shrink into 1.5 foot tall Josh.
Thinking Outside the Box
An audience favorite that is based on the theory that Lea fits nicely into overhead compartments.
Impossible
This simple triangular box uses the largest blades we have ever used in one of the smallest boxes in our show.
Steel
Showing their Pittsburgh side, Josh melts through a piece of steel while live streaming on an audience volunteer’s cell phone to see all angles of this incredible feat!
The Escapes
Table of Death
With the assistance of a lady from the audience, Josh is shackled to a table with over 250 pounds of stainless steel spikes hanging precariously overhead and only 60 seconds on the clock. Will the spikes remain stainless?
The Claw
This escape takes Josh upside down in a straight jacket in a race against time before a giant set of metal jaws come crashing down.
Pressure
Possibly the most nail biting escape in our collection, Josh is secured to an upright table and attempts to escape from a huge circular saw blade that inches closer and closer as air pressure builds.
Lea’s Escape Box
Through the help of three kids handcuffing, and locking Lea in a Diamond Plate Box, the audience learns all about the art of escape.
Escaping In
A twist on the idea of escape– where Lea escapes into a completely inspected and locked see through box with the help of two audience volunteers.
Double Strait Jacket Escape Dance
Josh is one of the only people in the world who escapes from 2 jackets at the same time, but with the comedy twist of including 2 ladies from the audience in both the strapping in and in the dancing out.
The Audience
Getting Your Everything Pierced
Josh’s favorite illusion— a young kid from the audience takes on a challenge using a bed of spikes, a poster and their body.
Sawing A Teenager in Half
A young man from the audience takes on the role of the not-so-lovely assistant as he is cut in half and his legs are removed from his body.
Ladder Levitation
Lea gets a little break in the show while a young girl from the audience gets a chance to star in the show during this incredible levitation that is built in front of the audience.
TP Dance
A crowd favorite where two dads become Las Vegas ShowGuys and dance with Toilet Paper in this hilarious comedy magic effect!
The Classics
The Silks
The pockets and shirt collars of four audience volunteers are where the magic takes place in this fun, and revealing magic routine!
Love & Gratitude
An inspirational message of Love & Gratitude is portrayed with the assistance of a bowl of water and colored sand.
Cards Across
An audience volunteer acts as the magician and without Josh touching the cards they end up disappearing and appearing in the strangest of places.
Smarty Pants
This trick uses the smallest chair and the largest card in a funny and amazing way!
