Illusionism
Hey, I'd like to ask a few questions and make some suggestions. First, the other day I saw Jammes Garibo, and it was mind-blowing! I highly recommend checking him out. Also, does anyone know any tricks or shops for grand illusions, like El Mago Pop's motorcycle entrance and that kind of thing?

Hey @Javi1.
My opinion and reflections, no absolute truth here.
Grand illusions are the "glamorous side" of magic for laypeople.
Audiences are thrilled to see impossible things live.
The reality is that behind all that "grand theatrical production," there's a huge amount of work from a team of at least 15 people, if not more.
What Jammes Garibo, Mago Pop, Jorge Blass, or even David Copperfield, among others, do is nothing less than a meticulously planned production with a rigorously prepared stage set by a team of professionals.
It's not a "trick" you buy in a magic shop or read about in a book and can perform with just a couple of rehearsals. Not at all.
It's something very complex, and you have to go through many stages before reaching that level.
On another note, certain stage illusions that are sold, such as "Ingravity box," "Interlude," "Shadow box," "Torch box," etc., don't go for less than €2000 or €3000.
Unless you get your hands on the blueprints (which is also feasible) and build them yourself (and that's not an easy job), you'll need a huge investment for your grand illusions.
To sum up, grand illusions are great to watch if you enjoy magic.
Devoting yourself to them is an enormous investment — and I mean enormous, enormous, enormous (just in case I haven't made that clear).
Finally, if you google "grand illusions magic," you'll find shops selling grand illusion products in the top results.
All the best and happy magic!!!
