was looking for a video on Steinmeyer's cube-ism illusion and this video came up in my google search-really clever-nicely done!

what is the name of the Steinmeyer book this is in?

Such a brilliant base design.

THIS TRICK IS EASY, THE WOMAN HAS AN IRON BAR HIDDEN UNDER HER ARMPIT. A QUESTION: AND WHY DIDN'T THIS FAKE MAGICIAN TAKE THE TWO STOOLS AT ONCE?? NOTICE, WHEN YOU THE STUPID TRICK THE WOMAN DOESN'T RAISE HER RIGHT ARM, SHE ONLY RAISES HER LEFT.

THIS SILLY TRICK MISTER M REVEALED TO US THERE NO IS MAGIC, THERE ARE SILLY TRICKS THIS FAKE MAGICIAN IS A FOOL MISTER M IS THE REAL MAGICIAN 🎩

Name the song 🎧???

Amazing mirrors

The trick seemed like many others until he pulled the stool away! A master stroke!

Could make her completely invisible. My guess is the see-through is done with mirrors? Incredible craftmanship.

It has nice elements and touches, like using the measuring tape as proof for no other supports. I like the unique design of the illusion, too. It makes it look impromptu.

the up close gave up the trick, i knew it's the same old thing but it's very clever ! (in fact i needed that close up to give away the real way) but i think there is one little detail i miss for the transition...

this song fits like a copperfield cool

cool Andrewn God Bless

WOOWW...MAGIC . I DON'T BEALIVE

I see. The table is thicker than it appears

The presentation of the magic needs some work. He needs to get something from the top shelf but all of sudden he's doing some wood working then they're going to stand on top of it but he's teaching you some physics or something. And the music is really annoying to top it off.

Well I spotted flaws

Wow how is that possible

awesome

Should have tickled her feet. Before and have her move her toes after the cover were removed

Thats fantastic!

Steinmeyer at his best - Bravo on building such an ingenious prop and performing it flawlessly.

Amen

Cool to the max God Bless everyone invChrist always chubby bill page illusionist magician in fun

Amen

Love the illusion and the song choice was excellent as well. The music has a cool Bon Iver-ish vibe to it

How come the curtain crease behind are not aligned straight from top to bottom, the top gap...?

Your comment deserves to be voted up. The parent's is way overrated. Of course magic is best viewed live, but it is short-sighted of the magic community to want to be so exclusive and guarded. It's ironic that Steinmeyer himself said "Magicians are guarding an empty safe." He was talking about secrets but it's all the same. The more performances online, the more theatre tickets will be sold. The more secrets online, the more newcomers to the craft. We need more Steinmeyers not fewer.

Nice work ... very cool!

Indeed it isn't a video trick. I am constantly amazed at the breadth of Jim Steinmeyer's creativity in illusion design. His book "Hiding the Elephant", which chronicles the history of the great illusionists since Robert Houdin, has a chapter missing - the one about Jim Steinmeyer! And Andrew - you did a really great job here.

I liked the last one :) Good work!

Como una pequeña variante lo hace único, me gusta cuando renuevan clásicas ilusiones =)

This trick is incredibly simple. The method is over 100 years old.

First time I saw it I was blown away & hadn't a clue. But, I've got an idea of the method cuz I'm a Steinmeyer fan, and cuz I could see it over & over. There may be some tiny flaws, but it's darned near perfect. This would be best live. With video you can repeat & look for things. But anyone seeing this one time onstage would be completely amazed, I'm sure. It just does not look possible with all the moving behind and the light and all. This is one of the best "divided damsels" I've ever seen.

Great Job with this Andrew!! This is how you become great trying new things! I think this would fool an audience right now the way it is but keep routining it.

You too? I do know how it's done, and it's a testament to the great ideas of Jim Steinmeyer. Nevertheless, no one and nothing his perfect. If you did know it's quite complicated and elaborate, far more than I expected. Andrew did a great job considering all that. It's hard to achieve perfection based on the instructions and details, and Andrew comes pretty close to that. And no, not everyone sees just Sarantakos and his "tricks" and no one else. So please, no need to resort to vitriol here.

nzcarnage you're an idiot.. this is not a video trick.. this can be done LIVE.. fairly close up... and without the aid of video cameras. I think it's a brilliant illusion.. you're too used to seeing the crap the Criss Angel does with video tricks... Andrew Evans is a REAL performer.. he can do miracles without camera tricks~

I know how difficult this was to build and develop. I want to congratulate you on a job well done! Be sure to show this to Steinmeyer if he had not seen it already. Great job indeed. ~Ryan C. Reed

her body is in the table?

@Joker72729 Must you be so rude? He/she is pointing out something I just now noticed too; that doesn't take away from the fact this is an outstanding illusion! You always seek perfection in carrying out the trick, and Andrew comes pretty close to doing so. I would love to perform it, or at least witness it close-up. I don't think there's a way to leave forth comments in a manner that the public-at-large doesn't read, but without reasoned critiquing one might not be successful. Great job Andrew!

@TobyShorin Yes, but very few people are able to see a show in person. Only the big-name acts do great tricks like these, and they're based in Vegas, Branson, L.A., etc. Even when they travel, they never go to out-of the-way towns. For those who only get to see common tricks like Zig-Zag, Twister, etc., the Internet is the only medium where you can find it and enjoy. Kudos to Andrew for this brilliant illusion, though we'd like to see it with the assistant climbing in and emerging from the box.

This is truly one of the best tricks I have ever seen. I wish that you would reserve for actual shows though. Mayhaps it detracts from the magic to have it available on the internets.
