world's fair illusions - white owl pavilion
I recently saw Tomorrowland with George Cloony and a scene in it got me thinking about the White Owl Cigar pavilion which had an illusionist with (spoiler alert) twins. I was a kid at the time and every illusion was perfect. I seem to only remember Asrah, the Thin Sawing and a Doll's House built as a cigarette machine. I never tried to find this on youtube but maybe I will.

I remember the pavilion was round and fired a 6 foot smoke ring into the air every 15 minutes or so.

Conus, were you the guy sitting next to us ? And, did you see the Pieta sculpture by Michelangelo which was a textbook example of bad lighting and you went by on a conveyor belt (like in the 'future') ?
