Large Sized 3D Hologram Display

Posted on April 6, 2012 by TimothyDrake

For many years magician Timothy Drake utilized a 3D Holographic project effect at the Shriners Haunted Mansion to created the virtual ghost special effects seen wandering its spooky halls. The illusion of objects floating in mid air is created for the viewer. That special effect eventually found its way into multiple trade shows across North America. Recently Toronto Magician Timothy Drake was asked to recreate that effect but in a much larger scale for a corporate client in Ottawa, Ontario. Objects up to 10 feet wide appeared, floated and vanished in mid air. Fellow London Magician Peter Mennie joined Timothy in Ottawa for the two day build. It proved a very large ( pardon the pun) success.

Shriners Haunted Mansion TV footage from 2004

Posted on October 16, 2011 by TimothyDrake

Back in 2004 we were in our 6th year of the Shriners Haunted Mansion in London. The local tv news channel would stop by and visit us each year as part of their early morning broadcast. That was always tough on me as I was usually up late the night before doing repairs and maintenance to the displays that needed attention. It shows in some of my early morning tv appearances more than others. Often I’d get to bed at 3 and them have to be at the Haunted Mansion to welcome the news crew at 6 am. Watch the official Shriners Haunted Mansion blog for more video soon.

Year 2 of the Shriners Haunted Mansion

Posted on October 5, 2011 by TimothyDrake

2000 was the second year of the annual Shriners Haunted Mansion in London. The local tv news stopped by to visit and do some coverage for the evening news. In this video you’ll see the a very different Haunted Mansion than we ended up with. It was year 2 and everything we had fit into my garage and one semi trailer. We ended up with 5 semi trailers full in later years. You’ll also see a much younger Timothy Drake. LOL

A trip back to 1999

Posted on September 26, 2011 by TimothyDrake

Back in 1999 I built the first ever Shriners Haunted Mansion. It was quite small compared to the monster it became. It was located at the Oxbury Mall in London Ontario and was my first attempt of mixing some of my favourite things together. ( Magic and Halloween ).Here is some tv news coverage from that very first year.

No Photos or Videotaping … PLEASE!

Posted on September 24, 2011 by TimothyDrake

If you have ever heard magicians or illusionists ask you to not video tape or photograph their show … it is for a reason. The art of magic is all about fooling your senses and especially about fooling your eyes. Photos and video have the ability to expose the secrets of magic and thus are not welcomed by many magicians. Here is a secret my own camera exposed. This spinning buzz saw attraction at the Shriners Haunted Mansion in London proved to be a lot of fun but had to be retired after two years because some people were simply too afraid to pass through it. The illusion appeared to be large spinning buzz saws with sharp teeth that would come out of the walls at random times and threaten your safety as you walked down the corridor. It was in fact very safe but some visitors were frightened by the look of those giant blades. Here, with the aid of a motion stopping flash you can look closely and see that the blades were really only painted on and the discs were really smoothed edged in case you did get touched by them. When the blades were spinning you eye would not be able to see this and you would instead see only the teeth of the saw blade.

I am often asked WHERE the Haunted Mansion is when it is not assembled and operating during the Halloween season. The truth is I am hiding it in plain site yet many people pass by it all day and never notice it. The Haunted Mansion is stored in 5 semi trailers at a Forest City Storage in London.

Vanishing Illusion at the Western Fair Grandstand in London

Posted on September 12, 2011 by TimothyDrake

We had a lot of fun with this illusion at London’s annual Western Fair several years ago. I was given the opportunity to perform on the Western Fair Grandstand stage and wanted to do something BIG. I decided to vanish 7 people at once. I chose 7 local celebrities and Audience members were chosen by lottery draw to come on stage and act as audience witnesses.

Black Beauty

Posted on September 2, 2011 by TimothyDrake

About the 3rd or 4th year I did the Shriners Haunted Mansion we got a call from some very nice people who owned a junkyard ( or.. auto recycling yard as they call them these days ). They had this very nice car that they thought we might like to have as gift for the Haunted Mansion. They were RIGHT!

Black Beauty as I found her

There was one little problem. The hearse had been junked in the first place because the front end had been burned off. Now that is not a problem for a determined illusionist who has friends who can weld! The junk yard ( er… ah.. auto recycling people ) gave us the front end of a Lincoln to weld onto the back end of our Cadillac. We called the finished product a Clinkon but more affectionately called her Black Beauty. Below you can see the before and after pics.

Two Cars become one.

I can’t find any photos of the car in the Mansion but I do have this one of its driver.

Everyone was just dying to drive Black Beauty.
