Long Description
Creator: Jim Steinmeyer
Builder: Bill Smith1, Also can contact Jim Steinmeyer for more information
A spectator from the audience is selected to lie down on a table covered with a box. They are sawed in half, and the halves are separated by lifting the bottom half, dropping the spectator's legs down slightly. The halves are replaced and the spectator emerges unharmed.
Taylor Reed does a modified version of this illusion to demonstrate further separation. Contact Taylor if you own this illusion and want him to make his modification to your version.1
