Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed

Edit
  • Self - Host: We've all seen this next trick it's called the three cubed box.
  • [Three of the magician's assistants are dancing around a cabinet]
  • Self - Host: As always a little performance helps our magician make the illusion seem more spectacular than it really is. One of the assistants steps inside the box and the magician closes and locks the doors. For effect he checks his blades to prove that the audience that they're solid. Then he hands his assistant a red handkerchief. This is to help sell the illusion.
  • [the magician lines the blade up with a slot across the box]
  • Self - Host: He feigns resistance as if the blades are actually cutting into it, but we know that can't be happening because the assistant is still smiling even though the blades appear to be passing right through her. Now for the second blade. Again he pretends to be having a tough time pushing it through. She waves in order to show that those hands are really hers. The middle section of the box is slid apart. The hankies moving - she's still alive! The magician gives you a look at all sides of the box, then he waves his hand through the missing portion to prove that the trick isn't done with mirrors. It appears that her middle is gone. He pushes the box back into place. He removes the blades, unlocks the door. And there's our our assistant, getting out all in one piece.
