Hi,
In a nutshell, I am looking for assistance with the following stage illusion.
I am playing Applegate in Damn Yankees. At the end, the director wants me (Applegate) to slowly disappear on stage. I am building a 'desk' that is part switch box, but, I need help with smoke.
What is the best to use? I don't think that a fog machine will work as I will be on top of the desk when I start to disappear. Flash smoke is ok, but is there a slow burning one? Any assistance or guideance in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

Scrim and lighting is the cheapest/easiest way to fade yourself out. It can be very effective.
