Step into an upright cabinet
made from two cardboard boxes and then visibly separate the two
halves of your body! Slide the top box to the side and the audience
can see both your upper torso and legs are completely separated.
Then blow their minds as you lift your upper body up with your hands
showing your waist is several inches off the floor of the cabinet
and detached completely! The top box is then slid back and you
emerge intact.
