Twister (magic trick)

Twister (magic trick)

The twister is a famous stage magic trick. A girl is placed in an upright cabinet, with her head and feet visible. The magician spins the cabinet, then opens the front. The girl's body is now a narrow, twisted rope from which her fingers protrude. The magician closes the cabinet, rotates it in the opposite direction, and releases the assistant unharmed.

A video of the 'Twister' can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJOTKo5wOaE here] .

Magician Greg Frewin performed a variation of the Twister on "World's Greatest Magic III," which can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF_iKYRE5YI here] .
