Dagger Head Box is a magic trick.

The assistant's head is put in a metal box with a hole in the front. The hole is then closed by two doors at the side of the box. The rest of the assistant's body may be clearly seen. A large sword is plunged through the centre of the box. Then, more daggers are plunged through the box from all sides. When the magician has finished, he opens the doors and the assistant's head disappears.
