A great illusion for any type of magic show, regardless of its size. The effect and routine are exact in every detail as supplied by Percy Abbott to the Harry Thurston show. A girl is tied into a cloth bag and then placed inside the chest. The tied end of the sack is then pulled through a hole in the top (removable) section of the chest--all of which is out of sight when the chest is closed. The chest is turned around showing all sides. The bag is pulled through the hole in the top section while the magician says that the girl has vanished (without showing the inside of the chest). Naturally the audience will howl! This sucker gag is played up with several more gags and bits of business. Eventually, the magician opens the chest showing the inside absolutely empty. It is turned around so that all sides may be seen. The girl is GONE! A sure fire effect that will get them talking. No mirrors, no "tip-over"--the chest may also be used for the production of a girl.
