Ghost House illusion at a school talent show

This has nothing at all to do with me - I just found the link on another website.

I'm actually really impressed with this, given the ages of the performers.

I honestly believe that it wouldn't take all that much to make this look professional - they handle what is arguably the trickest part of the illusion extremely well.

I've seen worse examples of professional magic, but then that's not entirely surprising :)

Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash, and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

That was very enjoyable! Lousy intro by the 'MC' lady, absolutley no enthusiasm at all but the illusion more than made up for it. I sincerely hope those two carry on with their magic.

I just created an account here so I could thank you both for your comments. The children in the video are my son and daughter. Any resources toward which you could point us for continuing their interest in stage magic would be much appreciated.

Hi!
you could get them a membership to a young magicians society? :)

Robin, you can be very proud of them, professional performers par excellence! Certainly a magic club or society would be a good idea, check the links then Magic Societies from http://www.ipswichmagicalsociety.co.uk/ which gives details of clubs all over the UK.

Judging by the sounds of the voices of both the teacher and the excited young lady in the audience who gave the 1 word review before the curtains even had time to close, I don't think they are from Ipswich.
