Sawing a Person in Half

Sawing a Person in Half

Few magic tricks are as instantly recognizable as sawing someone in half. The setup is simple enough that everyone understands the danger, which makes the illusion even more unbelievable when the assistant climbs out completely unharmed. It's dramatic, theatrical, and has become shorthand for "magic show" in movies, cartoons, and comedy sketches. While newer illusions may be flashier, few have matched its staying power. If your definition of great magic is making the impossible look completely real, this belongs near the very top.
