Merlins of Wakefield - It's always magic at Merlins

A magical, more impossible illusion! Perform this illusion in any stage situation! The magician opens the doors of a beautiful cabinet and invites his assistant to enter. The doors are closed and she waves goodbye from the top window of the cabinet, then disappears inside. The magician slips a huge geometric tube into the top part of the cabinet...then another into the bottom section. Quickly he pushes the centre section of the cabinet out to the side... an impossible zigzag condition for the assistant! But it doesn't stop there! A tube is also pushed through the centre section. Finally, two swords are thrust into each section of the cabinet! Spinning the cabinet around, the magician proves that she must have disappeared. The swords and tubes are quickly removed and the centre pushed back as the doors pop open to reveal the happy, unharmed assistant. The sections of this expertly crafted cabinet are easily separated and nested for convenient transportation.
