Wonder what ever became of Sharon...

[@madtrucker3757]

Wonder if Sharon was thinking that he was gonna do this to her. That look at 4:05 says a lot.

Alan Shaxon devised a version with the girl in a vertical frame: This cabinet was how Robert Harbin originally conceived it

The Trick used to be called the Paul Danielles Blades of Beelzebub. It’s pure evil. He worked with imps, ghouls, jinns and ifrits, his saving grace was an Angel called Debbie who turned him from black magic and evil and showed him the light, and he became an illusionist and a herbivore, also a small fun fact after this trick he never ate in a room alone ever again, why? Who knows but it’s spooky to think about.

This trick is called "The Scimitars of Baghdad".

5:00 did the blade drop affect the camera?
