EspañolASSISTANT'S REVENGE
The 'Assistant's Revenge' is a transposition or teleportation illusion in which two performers change places. It was created by magician and inventor Robert Harbin.[1]
One of the two performers, who we will call ''Performer 1'' for clarity, is placed in a standing position in a large frame and restrained there with various straps, manacles, chains and locks (the exact configuration varies and is irrelevant to the method). The second performer, ''Performer 2'', begins to draw a curtain around the apparatus, first across the front and then round one side and around the back. Pretty much as soon as ''Performer 2'' has disappeared from view, ''Performer 1'' instantaneously appears from the other side of the apparatus, drawing back the curtain as he or she comes. This reveals ''Performer 2'' now restrained and thus the two seem to have changed places by magic.
In practice the roles of ''Performer 1'' and ''Performer 2'' have been interchangeable between magician and assistant. Sometimes it begins with the assistant restraining the magician, with the implication that in this way the assistant is gaining "revenge" for all the other tricks they do where the assistant gets put in a box. However it is also performed with the assistant being restrained at the beginning and emerging at the end to with the magician restrained as "revenge" for the opening part.
