The lights come up on a two foot high table with stairs. The performer climbs the stairs, places a chair on top of the table, and holds up a white curtain just big enough to hide the chair from view. The audience can see below the table, above the chair, to the sides, and through the spaces within the stairs. Within seconds the performer whips the cover away to reveal his beautiful assistant! This makes a great opening illusion and can also be used to vanish the assistant at the end of your routine.
