  1. Nah…if you look closly shes in a box the same color as the wall paper…..hope i didnt spoil ur fun

  2. This is an old stage magic illusion. It used to be called “The Sphinx” and was presented by Colonel Stodare in the late 1800s.

    I don’t want to give it away, but although it could well be the box, I think it’s probably the same solution as the Sphinx illusion which is a different principle altogether.

    Looks amazing in real life on stage. he picture doesn’t quite capture how good this can look.

  3. Hi, It has a principle behind it. I think the sides of the table are actually mirrors.

    A place near my school also has this trick and explains it very well.

  4. Its definatly a box. You can tell because I thought they would be smart enough NOT to attatch a pole that you can see at the top of the box, going down to the floor lol.

  5. omg that is soooome magic!!!!! omg. i thing that she’s fake!!! how did they do that!!! is she split in half or something???? now that is cool…..

  6. the gurl is sittin in a box and her head is there the hole on the top which looks like a plate and the box matches the wall that is how i think it is done!

  8. Actually it is a series of mirrors that reflects on the walls and causes the area under the head to appear as if nothing is there.

  9. guys its a box look at the poles its a dam box with blended bakground!!took me a while but i figured it out

  10. OOOHhhhhhhhhh My god shes got no body, call 911 or 999 depending on where you live ,,, anyway thats not important now ………this girl needs our help !!!

  11. Its call photoshop boy and girls!
    Half of these pictures are gay and lame!
    maybe all of them actually. So hopefully,
    try to prove me wrong.

  12. Hey, This is the easiest illusion ever.
    First of all, she’s in a box. The sides of the box are mirrors. In the photo, the person who took it is in a big EMPTY room. The box is connected to another room where the ‘girl’ waits.

    She climbs through this tunnel up inside the box.

    ONLY her HEAD can protrude through the opening. So it appears her head is only visible, on a plate. The rest of the body is behind the mirrors.

    Hope I help,

    Thomas

  13. It’s not a Painting neither Wallpaper !!
    Only dum ppl beleives that!

    The trick is she’s sitting under a table. The table has a hole on it. Thats where her heads come out. The 2 sides of the table (the two sides in front) have mirrors. The mirror reflects the sides of the wall. So it looks like she has no body.

    DUHHHH!

  14. ashwin and i kill bob,
    the photos ARENT photo shopped unless the guy says so! He really did say that! And while I wouldn’t give away how its done, but other people already posted it so I’ll repeat it for the people that can’t read:
    ITS A BOX WITH MIRRORS! Pretty simple, yet funny and cool looking. It would be better if the serving dish thing was there, but maybe thats just me…

    1. it is mirrors i’ve actually been in one and the mirrors are on an angle so you see the wall

  15. well done Alix you clearly know your magic history

    Ether that or you’ve read JIM STINEMIRE’S brilliant book HIDING THE ELEPHANT

    In which you will dicover The Sphinx illusion was invented by scinetific
    lecturer Tomas Tobin and was a progression from his protious cabinet
    illusion

  16. This is just like 1 of chris angels cat dissapear/mom out of luggage illusions. there r mirrors on 2 sides of the room photographer out of reflection, and just take a luk at the lighting and shading DUH! she also looks like a rubber mask but thts out of the question.

  17. comon sense peolpeeee!!

    there are some mirrors pasted on the table so they reflect the wall paper

    daaaaaaa
    jajajajaja

  18. yeah it’ll seem real if ur a gullable person – I could never believe something like that it’s a trick!! THanxxxx

  19. that is a box right there.. it is in a museum in hollywood.. i have been in it myself but the picture dad took doesn’t work because the stripes at the front didnt line up.. it is such an easy illusion, no mirrors involved

  20. theres one with mirrors this one is just a girl in a box u can tell! its not a table, there’s only 2 “legs” (actually lining of the box)

  21. Where’d you dig up this fossil of an illusion? It’s lyk 1 000 000 000 000 000 years old!!!! I’ve seen it lyk a hundred times! so lame…. u could make it at hme!!1! it’s mirrors!!!!

  22. it is NOT a mirror the table has walls that are exatly the same as the wall behind and the table is pushed against it

  23. Ha ha ha, cool. the first thing i saw was the box, but then i read a comment about the wallpaper and noticed it does look like its just a table! neat trick

  24. She is in a box with mirrors and that box is in another box, with the wallplaper, but it’s not totally closed, it has like a peep-hole.

  25. Guys, if there were mirrors, then we’d be able to see the photographer. The box just has the same wallpaper on it as the walls, and this is taken at an angle where the wallpaper on the box blends in with the wallpaper on the wall.

  26. omg yeah, its a box, the girl is just in… but its cool how they have done it! at first i was thinking “omg a little girls head :o” hahaha but then i relised… :)

  27. there are mirriors because if you look closely at the wall at the side of the “box” there is a lighter section
