We should warn you not to attempt the magician's next dangerous trick which
involves this very imposing looking sword.
To prove that it's real
he plunges the sword into an apple impaling it.
He slices the apple in two and offers have to his assistant.
She doesn't seem amused.
He tosses his half away than hers.
You can bet someone else cleans up the secret warehouse. A little more conjuring
to get his girl in the mood
and he thrust the sword into her stomach then straight to the body.
No wonder he didn't let her eat the apple first.
You can see the sword is completely through her torso. The magician removes
it.
Gives the girl another magical wave and all is forgiven.
This guy has all the right moves.
So how does the magician plunge the sword through the girl's body without
killing her in cold blood?
The first secret is in the sword.
Actually there are two of them.
This one couldn't kill a fly.
It's incredibly flexible.
That's because it's made from two pieces of an ordinary tape measure that have
been attached face to face.
See?
It bends at the slightest touch. So if it's that flexible how did he impale the
apple?
That's where the second sword comes in. This one is solid.
It's sharp and stiff very stiff. Ss his assistant is eager to prove.
While our attention was focused on the sliced Apple his assistant was secretly
pulling a switch. Here we can see her trading the real sword for the fake
flexible one. But how does the tape measure sword pass through the body of
the girl?
You guessed it! It doesn't. The secret is concealed by our costume.
This trendy corset and sash isn't just making a bold fashion statement.
It's hiding a flat metal tube that conforms to the girl's waist from behind.
You can see the back of the tube. To impale the girl the magician inserts the
end of the fake sword into the mouth of the tube.
He pushes it into the tube and it appears to pass through the girl. In
reality it's traveling through the tube around her waist and out the back side.
Close examination reveals that the sword looks much shorter now than it did
before entering the tube.
Here's what the metal tube looks like without the corset.
See? It's been formed around the girls waist to provide a channel for the sword.
The sword goes in one side bends through the channel and eventually comes out the
other side. You can see that the girl is never in any real danger.
And that's how the magician impails the same girl over and over without
running out of assistants or running from the law.
