The Indestructible Girl

This is a somewhat similar illusion to the one just described. A girl assistant is placed in cabinet, apparently occupying the greater part of same. The door is closed and metal or wooden bars run through the cabinet from front to back and back to front, apparently piercing the girl.

When the bars have been placed in cabinet, a small door near top of cabinet is opened showing the girl assistant still standing there. The door is closed again and bars removed. The door is opened and girl steps forth uninjured. Or bars can be left in cabinet and lid opened, a trapeze let down from above to which girl hangs by hands and is pulled out of the cabinet.

This is the desirable finish if playing where a pull-up can be worked with above stage arrangement.
