Nice nice old fashion magic trick

It's all about the showmanship. The logistics haven't changed in years. False handcuffs, hidden compartments, concealed trapdoors and hinges. The most vital ingredient are 'volunteers' who are in on it. It's the only way illusions like this work.

But even if they were honest volunteers, it's check the bars, not check the frame. Check the panels, but don't look for hidden hinges. Check the bag, while you're standing on the velcroed seam. Also, did anyone ask Debbie if she had a key on her?

[Katbettyboop1]

it's funny, the only thing they didn't examine was the floor

[DARhumpedyhump]

@Katbettyboop1 that's why it was on a table, so you could see under the cage

[rimmersgirl81]

the guy checking the sack is that a young dale winton? if it isn't then the guy looks so very much like him!

[ufionwa]

only God knows

[WHoHoHW]

Anyone noticed that one of the assistants at the left disappeared @ 7:50, you can see his shadow at 7:53 he's not there anymore? :)

[whirlyfan]

amazing nice outfit debbie

[ryanbrownnew]

notice they don't ask anyone to check the bottom of the cage - could be a gaping void for anybody knows haha

[wraithmastr2]

someone is in the stairs

[Mr77Magic]

Paul has a twin brother.

[INJUNJOE2]

deb makes a great caged animal. bet she is a tiger in bed.

[confusedmiked]

The fact that the props are examined by members of the public makes it much more impressive. A well done trick

[NYTOC]

Wow, at the very end when the guys are pulling the cover off and as Deb' goes ontop, you can quickly see Pauls' head fixing his left hand and his head moving to fix the right hand chain. I just wonder how they switched. lol

[jonathondio1234]

Lets see Criss Angel do that trick

[Calviz]

Thats impossible .friking amazin

[AbleBall]

WTF. How's that done then?

[brainman214]

How come the Debbie Sawn In Half illusion is gone?I enjoyed that! Brainy

[Schnorbs]

I love watching these clips, and trying to guess what kind of costume Debbie is going to be wearing - and I am invariably completely wrong! I was expecting something circus-themed like the blokes at the back, but then she comes on in a tribute to the Green Goddess.

[jrdudedj]

Well i almost commented say, THE TABLE SLIDES OPEN!!!, but than i remember the bag had a bottom, the only thing we don't know that had a bottom or not was the cage, but it's called a trick for a reason, it's tricky.

[bumperboy]

Impressive, It's a shame Paul gets such a bad rap from the media these days. What exactly has he done wrong ? BRING BACK PAUL DANIELS MAGIC SHOW BBC!
