  • "The spirits do not want to join the Salvation Army" is a classic line that deserved a bigger laugh.

  • @cloz333 I tire of people who think it's OK to put down regular magicians because they're not Derren Brown. Derren Brown is incredible, but he isn't just a magician, he's a psychological illusionist which encompasses a whole gamut of things. Paul Daniels is a magician in the traditional sense through and through. He's worked very hard to achieve what he has and was one of many bow tie and tails magicians that inspired Derren Brown in the first place. Try and remember that.

  • Gysel Tie :) ... If you look closely Debbie sort of gives it away at 8:42 when she's being "cut loose" - left hand lets go of the right hand rope. Still, brilliantly executed ... Violin bit is awesome.

  • @azuran133

    Absolutely! WOW!!

  • So, how is this trick done?

    No, trapdoor.

    The spirit cabinet is light-weight, with thin walls, no top and no floor.

    The trick is performed on a semi-circular stage, so that an audience can see 3 sides.

    Hint: George had to see a psychiatrist after the performance.

  • @RavenDayexMilhas He moves it using the back curtain when he lights the candle on top. Just practice the sleight.

  • ghostbusters music at the end....

  • lol

  • It's the whole point, because people believed, and still believe in these "supernatural spiritualists."

  • I saw Derren Brown do this but with random people from the audience. I have a question, in Derren Browns show there was a smaller spirit cabinet-like on eof those miniture theatres kids get. and he did a siimmilar illusion by covering it up and making a ball appear inside a glass. Could anyone give me the solution to the trick or better yet if the trick is a gimmick the actual name of the product thanks
