Pippin
The question you're answering.
Hello All,Does anyone have any ideas of how to make the final fire scene happen in Pippin? Its suppose to be a fire box style magic trick, but Im wondering if anyone has been able to pull off this scene using something else. I have a nice size budget for the show but I would perfer not using the money renting or purchasing a high-end magic trick.d

The city of savannah just did the show and I was the player with the torch and we used a box with a front door and a back door for the player to get out during the blackout. but we mostly used a alot of lighting for that scene to give the appearance of fire. if you go to my pictures ill i have a picture of the fire box
The theater where I directed this could not have open flame on stage.. We did it all with lighting and it looked amazing.
Just get someone good with lighting and you got it made.
