Yeah - the first one is a little easier. Pay attention to the hand on the right holding the sheet and then the magician's hand at the end.![]()
I see a left hand holding the sheet but his right waving when the box is uncovered. Who's holding the sheet when they make the switch? Is there a person in the stand of the contraption?
That's what I'm thinking. When you see the hand come through the grey cloth, there's someone in the stand holding it and that's when the assistant climbs down. She makes the switch with the magician while he climbs into the back of the box behind the sheet. There's barely enough time. But, with the audience being shocked on the left side, he has just enough to jump in on the right.
