The Dagger Chest is a classic prop, and this model has several refinements of our own.
A box you can see right through is placed around a spectator’s head.
Several daggers are thrust at all angles through the sides of the box. Then the box is opened to reveal not a human pin cushion, but a spectator with a vanished head! Finally remove the daggers, and spectator’s head is “restored” without a hair out of place, and no clue to the mystery.
This model makes it easy to use with a volunteer from the audience, and does not require a trained assistant.
Complete special chest, handsomely decorated, with 7 daggers, and display stand.
