I think his legs are crossed "indian style" inside his shirt. Notice as he's being put back together he's fiddling around lot with his arms. If I can fold myself in half like that I'm sure he can too.

Well, he totally deserved it. Ha ha. He knows what he can do and hopefully he wont die on a live stage. My first thought was that there wasn't any blood when he got that saw on him.
A fiver from me. 5/5

i agree with the theory that he curled his legs up either underneath or beside his upper body, because if you look at his upper body he looks like the hunchback of notre fuckin dame. he must be very good at yoga.

Well, if you look very closely at the possition David is laying in it gives the game away.

David is laying on his front with his legs underneath him, he could always be sat crossed legs and just laying forward. His legs are hidden in the base which is manufactured to look thin when in reality its quite deep.

Now this illustion doesnt use robots or fake limbs, the effect is very easy. because david is only taking up half the space that leaves the other side of base and table free. Which meens that there is an other peformer hidden in the other half, He is simply laying on his back with his legs up and over himself.

All david and the extra have to do is keep lifting and lowering there legs.

the box always opens and closes fully before the end reveal and beginning sequences, there is always a pause, which gives both performers time and enough hidden room to manouve in and out of possitions. also the saw blade never passes through the box untill both performers are in there own box sections.

the box opens and closes on hydrolics

very simple but awsome illusion!
