Illusion Mage is a 3D Animation package that was put together by Seth Avery.
Seth had been working in the animation business for over 10 years when he noticed how popular 3D Animation creation from home was becoming.
When he looked into it further, he noticed how expensive the software programs were to buy. There were cheaper, and even free applications, but on closer inspection of these, he realised that the tutorials alongside them were complex and not at all user friendly.
It was at this point that he saw a gap in the market for an affordable, comprehensive 3D Animation Software package that included detailed step by step tutorials on how to use the software.
Using blender software (which is top quality and used by many of the top animators), Seth made over 6 hours of video tutorials and a 200 page manual that takes you step by step through the whole process of creating 3D animation at home.
Illusion Mage shows you how to create high quality 3D Animations and Graphics, Characters and Models, interactive 3D content and Games and also shows you how to produce your very own Cartoon Animated Film.
If I had any concerns about the product it would be time it took for downloads to complete in the private members area. There is a lot of material with Illusion Mage, but having said this, I know Seth does give you the option of DVD if you prefer.
The other concern I had was in regards to reading some negative reviews that Illusion Mage was just blender software rehashed. I did some investigation into this, and Seth openly states that he uses blender software.
What he has done is to allow people to use the software correctly and to its full potential through his state of the art video tutorials. These step by step tutorials are like having a professional animator looking over your shoulder. If you had to pay for that one to one tuition, you would be looking at thousands.
The positive things about Illusion Mage have to be top quality software that Seth uses. It actually rivals Maya and 3DMax. It's hard to believe, but the animations you can create are just like Pixar.
The 6 hours of step-by-step video tutorials are fabulous and you feel confident every step of the way. Seth's aim was to allow anybody (even people that have never attempted any kind of animation before) to produce their own top quality 3D animation from home. With this package, you certainly can.

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...
