The trick in a nutshell

Using your magical abilities, you’ll make a long stick placed in a box split into three parts in the blink of an eye. After a moment, perform another magical move and join the sticks back together, leaving your audience truly amazed.

 

Performance

  1. Show the audience a long stick and an empty box to convince them that everything is in order.
  2. Place the stick into the box, holding it upright – with the opening facing upwards.
  3. Holding the bottom of the box with your left hand, slide its middle section to the side with your right hand – the stick will ‘break apart’ into three shorter pieces.
  4. Pull out the three short sticks and show them to the audience – everyone will see that the long stick has disappeared.
  5. Put the three sticks back into the box.
  6. With your right hand, slide the central section so that the box returns to its original position.
  7. Take one long stick out of the box again and show it to the audience.
