Santa Stone

Guests may walk straight past Santa Stone at first. It looks like a Christmas statue, perfectly still, until a wink gives the game away and a smile creeps in, very slowly. The rest of the act follows Santa's slow-motion effort to get back up onto the plinth, helped by a few magic moments and by whoever's standing closest. Stone-look props keep the illusion going. It's a comic seasonal piece for a Christmas party, a shopping centre or a festive street event. Santa Stone works out of Melbourne.
