Ghost in the Coffin – Magic Trick

A spooky illusion using a ghost image inside a coffin: Insert six swords through the coffin, seemingly piercing the ghost. But when the lid is opened again—no damage at all!

How It Works:
The trick relies on tilting the ghost image inside the coffin so the swords pass underneath it. One key move makes the magic possible.

Instructions:

1. Place the ghost image flat inside the coffin.
2. Close the lid.
3. Insert the first sword into one of the two side holes—this causes the image to tilt sideways.
4. Slightly tilt the coffin in the opposite direction to help the image fall away from the sword paths.
5. Insert the remaining five swords through the other holes.
6. To reverse the trick, keep the coffin tilted as you remove the swords.
7. Open the lid—your ghost is unharmed!
