This is rather a mix between "Clearly impossible" (invented by J. Pendragon) and "Wakeling sawing" (invented by A. Wakeling) The leg movement was first used by Siegfried & Roy - do not know if it was their idea or if it was John Goughan who built the prop. So "invention": NO. Nothing new. Cool trick: sure Good video: NO, worst ever.
@@squidwardtentacles7069 The editing of the video is being used to cover up the switch which means it must be super obvious when it happens. Also, at 1:43 the way the top section is being held up to cover the guys arm makes it super obvious that he's the one moving the fake legs. Visually, it's a really cool prop but without the proper presentation it looks super basic and obvious.
If they REALLY did it she'd be DEAD. ALL SAWING IN HALF ILLUSIONS REQUIRE THE ASSISTANT TO NOT DIE. SO...Hence they're always always always ALWAYS in the top half. PERIOD.
@@nevillewebb757 Of course, but the key to a good illusion and a great performance is the suspension of disbelief on the part of the audience and the best way to maintain that is to not have obvious giveaways.

How can you demo an illusion with so many cut. Maybe the worst video for a magic effect ever.

Wow
Very cool new idea for clearly I'm possible by Christian illusionist Jonathen pendragon
Great prop. Couple of giveaways though.
Giveaways like what?

@@buzzsawpete did the woman pulled her legs up to hide them? How can she do that if the case looks so small like that?

Some terrible editing. >_< Otherwise a nice trick but damn. >_
Totally agree, video editing sucks
