Here are twelve smart, modern and practical illusions that are portable, inexpensive and suited to today's illusion-hungry audiences. 'Illusionette' is a word coined by the author to denote the type of illusion that has the look and impact of a large illusion, but is easy to build, portable and easy to set up. These are illusions you can pack in the trunk of your car. They are also a departure from the stereotype themes of mutilation and massive apparatus. Good commercial plots are combined with exciting psychological elements to create effects that will hold the attention of any audience, from families to Vegas.
