Twister (magic trick)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 here.
Magician Greg Frewin performed a variation of the Twister on "World's Greatest Magic III," which can be seen here.
