The Mystery of the Girl in the Trunk

This is an ingenious illusion, making use of the Phantom Frame and an ordinary large trunk. The finish is a startling transformation.

Performer shows open frame. He sets it up and places a top on it. He then shows a large trunk empty. Into the trunk steps a girl and the lid is closed over her. Trunk is placed to one side of stage, away from everything.

Magician now steps on platform, holding a sheet spread out in front of him. Suddenly a figure appears under the sheet in front of performer. He allows sheet to fall over this figure and he steps down from platform. In a

moment he opens the trunk and out jumps a boy instead of the girl placed there. He whisks off the sheet from figure on platform and reveals the girl who a moment before was placed in the trunk.
