Illusions that you can work in close quarters are very difficult to find -- but here's one. In effect, the chest is placed over a spectator's head and held in place on their shoulders. A long flaming brass torch is pushed into the cabinet, apparently right through their head. When the cabinet is opened at the front, back, and top, the head has vanished. The audience can see clear through the cabinet all the way to the background behind you. You can wave your hand behind the chest, walk around behind it and all around it. There simply couldn't be any place to hide the head in the small compartment. Truly an amazing illusion. The box is superbly designed, beautifully decorated, and measures 12" x 12" x 8" -- so you can carry it under your arm. Comes complete with the flaming torch (unlit, of course.)
