So how is this one done? --ZeroOne 19:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC) I saw a programme that told me.

In the one I saw, the box was 'tied shut' (without a back and the assistant inside). The magician raised and then partially lowered the curtain twice (whilst flirting with his assistants), before raising it for real, and swapping with the assistant inside (who was already tied up in a big sack). After the first time he rose it, the assistant got out of the bag (which had a zip at the bottom) and pulled the box's lid partially off, and he stepped in with one foot. After the second time he put the other foot in. On the third time, he went all the way into the box, while the assistant got out, shut the lid and sat on top of the box. The curtain was lowered, and during the ensueing kerfuffle the magician got into the bag. (However, he did not zip it up.) His assistants opened the box and then untied the bag, and hey presto! the magician was in there. The magician stood up, but of course the unzipped zip could not be seen because of the walls of the box.
