Thayer's Vanish of a GirlWilliam W. Larsen & Ormond McGill![]() With this method, you can cause a girl to vanish from a nightclub floor. When this was first introduced, Thayer claimed it was the dream of every magician. We agree. It seems impossible. Perform it on a regular nightclub floor.

You even invite a committee of spectators (not stooges) to supervise and ensure that all's fair. The girl enters a box, sitting atop a four-legged table. The box is lifted from the table and falls to the floor,... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |||
