How the illusion should be performed...

I commend Barry and Stuart for adding a twist to their cardboard box illusion, but the crossbows had a huge problem...they didn't make it impossible enough. The reason for having swords/sticks left in the whole way is to show how more and more impossible it is becoming for anybody to be left in the box...

Here, in my opinion, is how it is supposed to be done:

There goes my afternoon.
Beers in. 50 magic tricks to watch (again).

The crossbows would've been better if they'd had a ribbon attached and not all gone through pretty much the same spot.

Shahids version of this is brilliant. Another worthy of note (in my opinion) is Hans Moretti, who fooled Paul Daniels with his version.

Incredible illusion...the Malik one is presented at a far better pace though.
