Chopping Block by Paul Osborne

Master illusion designer Paul Osborne has graciously sent us this illusion plan for a sinister cutting in half illusion with a medical theme.

Click for a description of the effect. Plans are available as a free download in PDF form.

EFFECT: The magician explains that he has a new invention designed to revolutionize the medical industry. It’s a surgical blade that is completely painless and safe, and to show off its capabilities a little demonstration is proposed. A small operating table is brought out and shown on all sides. The impressive surgical knife is also brought out. The magician selects an audience member to act as the patient and they also verify that the blade is solid and sharp. The audience member is asked to recline on the table as two stocks are put around her waist. The blade is put into position so that it can swing down through the stocks. After some by-play the blade is pushed all the way through the victim’s waist. The stocks are removed and the audience member must sit up so that the blade can be slid up and shown to be in solid state. A true miracle of modern science!

    Dude, I love this sawing in half! It’s one of the easiest sawing in half in a while with a great twist! Thanks a lot! I’ll be using this one in my next show.
