Phoenix and Gryphon's Magic Show Dogs Costume

It's time for the Halloween Golden Magic Show! Master Magician Phoenix the Phenomenal is showing off his latest trick. He sawed his little assistant, 8 week old Gryphon, right down the middle. Abracadabra, Gryphon is in two! But don't worry, Phoenix will soon put Gryphon back together again!

We created these outfits by putting together pieces from different costumes. We adjusted a child's suit to fit Phoenix, and attached white gloves to the sleeves that we stuffed so they would look like hands were inside. We also attached a saw and magic wand to the gloves. We finished it off with a black top hat over a blond wig, and added a carnation to the lapel. For Gryphon's costume, we used stretchy silver sequined material to create wrist bands and a headband with a feather. For the magic boxes, we painted two cartons burgundy with gold trim, and attached gold diamonds we had cut out of wrapping paper. We cut holes for the head of the puppy and the body back-end to stick out of. Finally, we created a stage curtain by hanging pieces of curtain onto dowels and attaching it together with wire.
