Discover the Enchantment of Harbin’s Cabinet Illusion

Experience one of Robert Harbin’s hidden gems in the world of magic. This captivating illusion transcends mere trickery; it is a performance masterpiece. The basic premise involves a beautifully crafted upright cabinet, just spacious enough for a young woman to enter. The cabinet opens from the center, allowing her to step inside, where her wrists are securely tied above her shoulders.

Once the illusion is sealed, a series of blades and panels are inserted, dividing both the cabinet and the performer into four distinct sections. Each section is revealed one by one, showcasing the illusion of division. Small daggers are then placed into the sides, enhancing the suspense. Has she vanished? In a stunning reveal, the cabinet is reassembled, the blades and panels are removed, and the young lady steps out unharmed, her wrists untied!

This remarkable and often overlooked prop is not only easy to construct but also perfect for close-up performances, captivating audiences from all angles.
