Quick Change Artists

orphia nay · 2nd January 2007, 03:08 AM

I've just been marvelling at this, and thought I'd share:

Kevin_Lowe · 2nd January 2007, 04:48 AM

I've seen it before on Youtube, but it's an amazing act.

Azrael 5 · 2nd January 2007, 06:02 AM

They are David and Dania,I've seen them live twice and they are cool.A bit odd to interview as I did once but their act is ace,especially the glitter change.
Knowing how it's done it's still amazing.

Garrette · 3rd January 2007, 11:55 AM

I must admit that quick-change is one bit of magic I enjoy watching but don't know how to do.

It is therefore real magic and ghosts exist.

tkingdoll · 3rd January 2007, 11:59 AM

A couple are easy to figure out (like the blue dress she's holding and then suddenly wearing), but that's a class act brilliantly executed.

Well, duh. But how did they train the ghosts?

Azrael 5 · 3rd January 2007, 04:59 PM

What is it with this forum lately? everyone wants to say how stuff is done or they know how it's done and it's simple blah blah blah.
Just enjoy!!

How do they train ghosts?

Cain · 3rd January 2007, 05:06 PM

Still not as good as the girl who fires the bow n' arrow with her feet.

Exactly! I know how to play the piano and it's really simple too- you just hit the keys in the right order.

Smike · 3rd January 2007, 06:01 PM

Well, I don't know how it's done...

It's all right there on the paper in front of you. How much easier could it be?

You don't even need ghosts.

(And to the point: I've admitted I don't know how quick-change is done. Which is partly true. I've never read how it's done. A few simpler ones I can figure out a way. Several on the video in the OP are beyond me, though, even repeatedly viewing it.)

ChristineR · 4th January 2007, 06:17 PM

We're not supposed to give away secrets here.

A lot of sewing.

I have enough experience with theatrical costume that I can see a way all of them might have been done, but that doesn't substitute for hundreds of hours of construction and practice and trial and error.

shoot. I just saw her fire the arrows. Was this an encore?

Having done theater all through my schooling and a bit of community theater after that, and having a mother who, among other things, is a seamstress for the Kentucky Opera Association (don't ever ask her about the night she fixed a rip in Baryshnikov's leotards while he was wearing them), I know a little about it, too. Not being a seamstress myself, I only know a little.

My limited knowledge allows me to figure out the simpler ones but leaves me confounded at others. The one that's throwing me for a loop is the fourth change (from the Green Peter Pan thing to the purple evening dress after passing a hoop over her). If you watch carefully, you will see that the bottom of her outfit changes first while she is still holding the hoop low enough to see the top of her green outfit.

If you have her fire at the lady in the video who must do a quick-change before being fired on or she dies, you might have something.

Azrael 5 · 5th January 2007, 06:55 PM

The glitter change is a thing of beauty I say.

Mercutio · 6th January 2007, 08:31 PM

No idea how any of it was done. Magnificent.

(How many [hundreds of?] hours go into creating and practicing an act like that?)

Well I wish I could work out the 'simpler ones'. But now you've pointed out that quick change, after a few repeat viewings, I noticed something the man did during that moment you mentioned. I hope that's not saying too much.

Ah. Going back, I see what you mean. But it only gives me a partial idea on what they did, not a complete one.

Peter S. · 10th January 2007, 03:05 PM

I love the act, but they aren't as good as the Russian couple I saw do much the same act with the Big apple Circus a few years back.

I think it's the same couple.She is definitely Russian.

Yeah, I think on the show, they suggested that they were the only ones that does this that they are aware of as a "couple". There is a guy that does it but nothing close to this many changes and speed.

mollyblack · 30th January 2007, 12:34 AM

I love things like this. When done properly they're a thing of beauty and expertise. Very enjoyable and thank you for sharing!

orphia nay · 30th January 2007, 02:40 AM

I'm really glad people have appreciated this here, as I'd hoped. Azrael, you intrigue me... how cool of you to have interviewed them!!!

Have you (or anyone) got a link? (Please?)

I suspect the quick change artists' act has a lot to do with very clever couture (as well as a lot of practice and expertise). But I'm not an expert at magic in the slightest - I just love a good trick.

Girl shoots arrow with feet

.

orphia nay · 30th January 2007, 08:01 PM

I was expecting something pretty clever, but not "super-flexible girl shoots arrow backwards with her feet at balloon target while using her hands to balance on a stick"!!!

Thanks, H3LL.

You guys are sooo 19th century.

No,no.I was implying it wasn't a real blindold.But I was right on the other point too.

You Yanks are sooo touchy.

Ah. I assumed that. I started thinking it had to do with how she wore it, but the angle doesn't seem to allow for that.

True, Azrael and Garrette, she could have seen through (or possibly under) the blindfold. Or, she could actually have been blindfolded. Hmmm, maybe I like my original description as it stands. Her promoters should use it, and they could add the blindfold bit if they wish.

Bah. Blindfold schmindfold. She should do it nude. I'd watch it twice.

mollyblack · 8th February 2007, 12:52 PM

Some magic I love figuring out. Some magic, like this (and the way they do it I believe does qualify as magic) is just worth watching for the beauty of the execution.

I've heard that they're the fastest in the magic business where quick change is such an important part of some acts. Is this true? Or am I thinking of another couple that does magic that incorporates quick change?

Azrael 5 · 8th February 2007, 02:07 PM

I think they are the fastest mollyblack,yes.

There is nothing more magical than 2 guys shooting each other in the head.

Okay wrong thread but there is nothing like watching 2 people change clothing on stage. Actually I feel like a pervert. Never mind.

Garrette · 9th February 2007, 08:36 AM

I wonder if they would be as successful if it were the male who did the majority of the changes?

I know as a male I prefer watching the female changes (it's more aesthetic than sexual so let's not go there, please), but I imagine, with no evidence whatsoever, that most females feel the same way.

Anyone agree?

I don't think so, but I have nothing to compare it to. If there was a woman dancing around a man as he did quick change, heck yeah, I think there would be just as much of an "OH WOW" factor to it. Especially since changing a male's attire that many times is a lot more difficult than a woman's. But it would have to be that fast, that many changes, and that well executed. Or else it would just be middle of the road entertainment for me. Same as if she did it in not as quickly a fashion. Not a double standard, just an equal standard of desire of quality in either way it's handled.

Okay, seriously. Sick. Bed. Bye.

ChristineR · 9th February 2007, 12:21 PM

We aren't supposed to be talking about secrets here, but the fact that Dania seems not to be a fan of pants is significant. I was impressed with the dress changes--the same thing with pants would be a once in a lifetime shock and amazement.

I started thinking it had to do with how she wore it, but the angle doesn't seem to allow for that. Originally Posted by Azrael 5 But I was right on the other point too. Within your borders, perhaps.

Or, she could actually have been blindfolded. Hmmm, maybe I like my original description as it stands. Her promoters should use it, and they could add the blindfold bit if they wish.

Some magic, like this (and the way they do it I believe does qualify as magic) is just worth watching for the beauty of the execution. I've heard that they're the fastest in the magic business where quick change is such an important part of some acts. Is this true? Or am I thinking of another couple that does magic that incorporates quick change?
