other than Angel of course, and lets say Alice Cooper, does anyone remember any other bands that did magic tricks on stage? i'll bet there are others but
im drawing a blank right now

The only one I can think of right now is Ace Frehley having the rocket firing guitar with Kiss. I seem to recall that Earth, Wind & Fire may have had the
use of some illusions in their stage act in the 70s, possibly using the same guy (Johnny Gaughn) as Angel. Gaughn has actually worked with a large number acts
over the years. Not sure whether he's helped Britney Spears sometimes giving the impression that she's actually singing occasionally though :0)

OK, I am a bit biased BUT Starz had a little thing going with their logo. You can see it towards the end of this video. First, "smoke" starts to
swirl around. I think there is a story about MLS having to grab oxygen off stage because it got so thick at times. And then the sign goes up and there are
fireworks. Hey, it was the 1970's. For me? I'd rather have decent LIGHTING than anything else. I sat behind Vince Gill's lighting crew (free
tickets) and they had 4 Macs doing the lights. Pretty amazing . . . .

i think kiss and starz are more just stunts rather than "magic" i said Alice because he did the guitine routine, right ? im thinking more straight
magic or illusions. hmmm.....?

Johnny Gaughan was responsible for the Alice Cooper illusion as he was for the work with Angel. He also came up with illusions for shows by Elton John, Cher
and Michael Jackson over the years.

I believe the Parliament/Funkadelic's used to land a UFO onstage too, maybe not magic per se, but a KISS type of illusion perhaps...
