What makes Zombie such an appealing trick is that, while it looks like real magic when it’s performed well, it requires no assistants, rigging or other elaborate staging that previous methods for the Floating Ball required.
Al Schneider begins your post-graduate course with a short, punchy routine that’s perfect for those just learning Zombie to become acquainted with the basic moves and handling. He also provides some great tips on modifying the props for maximum deceptiveness.
Jeff McBride is next with perhaps the most elaborate exposition of Zombie ever produced. Every move is demonstrated and explained in explicit detail, including ways to get into, and out of, the routine. He also teaches you ways to accomplish the illusion without the standard gimmick.
Lastly, Tommy Wonder explains his revolutionary modifications to the apparatus and the astounding effects that are possible.
If you’ve always wanted to be among the select few who perform Zombie well, you’ll find no better resource than this DVD.
