Battle of the Barrels

Battle of the Barrels

The Battle of the Barrels is a transportation illusion also known as Barricaded Barrels or Through the Eye of the Needle.

The illusion consists of two topless/bottomless barrels openly displayed on castered open framework supports. A swimsuit-clad female assistant then climbs inside a barrel and wooden bulls-eye targets are affixed to either end of the barrel. The second barrel is shown empty, sealed on one end and with four solid metal bars fixed across the other end.

The end of the lady assistant's barrel is placed against the barred opening of the empty barrel for a brief moment. As the barrels are again separated, the assistant can now be seen through the four solid metal bars, inside the barrel she was not in before.
