Tiger and Turtle Magic Mountain is an art installation located in Duisburg, Germany. It is a sculpture that resembles a roller coaster, but it does not function as one. The installation was completed in 2011 and quickly became a popular tourist attraction. The sculpture is made of stairs and walkways that twist and turn, similar to the loops of a roller coaster. Visitors can walk up and down the structure, giving them a unique perspective of the surrounding area. It is not a traditional mountain, as it does not have a peak or natural elements like trees or rocks.
When she finished the guy said, "That's not the version I saw the guy on the wharf do, he had a ring with a slit in it."
Born Ursula Lea, she read performance studies at Lancaster something that shows up in the blurred lines between her offstage self and on-stage persona and honed her craft at Duckie, the legendary queer club night at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, London. Ive had a guy say that he was really impressed by a silk vanish that I d performed hed seen someone else doing that, but the other guy used a fake plastic thumb, so hed been watching me really closely and I didnt use one.
It is not a traditional mountain, as it does not have a peak or natural elements like trees or rocks. Instead, it is an artificial structure built with steel and concrete. The name of the installation, Tiger and Turtle, comes from the combination of two contrasting animals: a strong and fierce tiger, and a slow and peaceful turtle.

I mean differently than we've already seen.
When something gets as popular as this video clip did, you know someone will have to ruin it with exposure of the trick's secret.
Here is a German website that exposes Ursula's hankie vanish.

How does knowledge of a plastic thumb thing instruct in being provocative, funny and taking artistic risks?

Does the revelation of the thumb tip really represent a secret? Is the 'secret' really exposed? Some things aren't really secrets. The magician's cliched phrase, 'Nothing up my sleeve', comes for a reason: people already know that magicians sometimes use their sleeves. It's interesting, but should anyone be upset by giving up this 'secret'? Nice excuse for some nudity, though. On that level: thanks.

That exposure will have no effect on anybody who uses a TT in any vaguely competent manner.
Ive had a guy say that he was really impressed by a silk vanish that I'd performed hed seen someone else doing that, but the other guy used a fake plastic thumb, so hed been watching me really closely and I didnt use one. I smiled and thanked him, but inside I could barely suppress my laughter.

That shows what you guys know. That wasn't a thumb
tip she used in her act. It was a finger tip. I
know you've heard the term, finger flinging.

I also laughed inwardly.

Same kind of reaction to linking rings.
Jade was working in a magic shop in San Francisco. A customer said "Do you sell the trick where you link the rings?"
She said yes and the guy asked for a demo.
When she finished the guy said, "That's not the version I saw the guy on the wharf do, he had a ring with a slit in it."
Genre doesn’t really hold Martinez. Her shows are fairly uncategorisable. She is in that sweet spot, alongside artists such as Bryony Kimmings and Kim Noble, where comedy, cabaret and theatre intersect. “I’d still always put it under theatre given the choice. If you call something comedy, there’s too much pressure on the laughter.”
This juxtaposition creates a sense of intrigue and curiosity for visitors. The creators wanted to create a piece of art that would challenge traditional notions of what a mountain should be. The sculpture is located in a park called Angerpark, which is situated on a former mining site. This adds to the uniqueness of the installation, as it is a symbol of transformation and repurposing of industrial spaces. The park itself is a popular recreational area, with walking trails and green spaces for visitors to enjoy. Tiger and Turtle Magic Mountain has become an iconic symbol of Duisburg and has put the city on the map as a destination for contemporary art lovers. The structure has been featured in numerous publications and has received awards for its innovative design. It has also become a popular spot for photography, as visitors can capture unique perspectives and angles of the sculpture. In conclusion, Tiger and Turtle Magic Mountain is a captivating art installation in Duisburg, Germany. Its unique design and location make it a must-visit for art enthusiasts and tourists. The sculpture's name and appearance create a sense of curiosity and wonder, adding to its allure. It is a symbol of transformation and repurposing of industrial spaces, presenting a fascinating blend of art and history..

I struggled to find any redeeming qualities in this book and would not recommend it to anyone.

4. Mike - 2 stars - "Tiger and Turtle Magic Mountain" had an interesting premise, but the execution was lacking. The pacing of the story was off, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by rushed and confusing action scenes. The plot twists felt forced and didn't add much to the overall story. I also found the ending to be unsatisfying and abrupt. While the concept had potential, the book didn't deliver on it.
