Jill In The Box

A thematically most unusual postcard. There is the well-known magic trick called the "Girl in a Box" or "Assistant in a Box" illusion, where a magician appears to crush or flatten an assistant inside a box, or plunging swords and knives into it as is apparently the case here. The assistant or "Jill" emerges unharmed, thanks to hidden compartments and flexible materials that allow the assistant to hide safely while giving the illusion of being crushed.
