The Mismade Girl

Four cubes, open top and bottom are stacked to form a cabinet. An assistant stands inside, and the cabinet closed. Metal blades are slid into the cabinet, apparently slicing the assistant into four pieces, and closing the top and bottom of each cube. The cubes are then unstacked, and restacked in a different order. In set doors in the front of the cabinet are opened, and it appears that the assistant's body has divided and rearranged. The whole process is then reversed, and the assistant is released unharmed.

The Mismade Girl is often performed as a production effect - four cubes, each apparently too small to contain a person, are stacked into a cabinet, which is then opened to reveal someone inside.

Sometimes the routine will omit the second restacking, and the magician may instead exchange numbers or pictures on the front of those cubes which appear to be out of order, apparently magically moving the divided parts of the assistant's body into the correct order

I want that Futurama remix.

[snabbus]

It's actually not a remic, it's the actual song, the futurama fellers remixed that song so they wouldn't have to pay the royalties

[Krinjh]

i somewhat know how they did this its not that hard to figure it out if you look closly when they open the doors up after they mixed her around

[INJUNJOE2]

she needs to show her legs

[666devilsson]

@duusoniter12 cause thats where the girl is crouching into and she just moves up and down for head placement

[666devilsson]

they did a bust on this on magics biggest secrets...

[CaraBrimleyRules]

They are fake feet I think.

[CaraBrimleyRules]

Yeah the top one in this version, number 3 contains fake leg material. She puts her head up into number 1 and then raises her arms up above her head to wiggle them in number 2. Not very magical. I wonder why they even bother performing it?

[bitchslapper12]

One method as to how this illusion might be achieved is as follows When the cabinet is closed the assistant crouches down into the bottom cube. Hidden compartments in three of the cubes hold fake body parts which are revealed by simply rotating the relevant cube when it is restacked and opening an inset door in what was originally the rear of the cabinet. The blade or blades dividing the bottom cube from that above have a trap door, allowing the assistant to show her head apparently disembodied.

she don't open 4 because her feet stick out

[hickstjo]

the reason why they dont open 4 is because in this specific mismade girl her feet stick out. On mine all the doors open. it just depends on the builder
