A band-leader has arranged seven chairs for the members of his band. When he sits down in the first chair, a cymbal player appears in the same chair, then rises and sits in the next chair.

★★★★ · Inventive illusion · cr8tv_hooligan · 2024-04-25
Really enjoyed seeing this inventive illusion. 4-star is only because it is lacking a little in storyline, but is more of a 'magical act' where he conjures up clones of himself and his chair. I love the showmanship of it and the little finale really put the cherry on the finish.
