Voodoo Box (Plans)

Voodoo Box (Plans)
Mayne's Voodoo Box is a variation on the classic sword box. The magician reveals a box. An assistant steps inside the box and top is closed. The magician then shoves twenty-one umbrellas through all sides of the box at various angles. After a moment, the magician removes the umbrellas and opens a few to show that they are real. The box is opened and the assistant steps out unharmed. It's a full scale stage illusion that packs flat, may be performed surrounded and allows for detailed inspection of the props.
