Buzzsaw: Anatomy of Illusion
The magician’s assistant hides in a secret compartment to avoid being cut in half by the saw. Despite being trained, the trick is still risky, so magicians use fake legs to fool the audience.
Magician Sigmund Neuberger asked the local authority to bury his dog who had died 4 days prior to the opening of his new show in their graveyard. When they agreed, Neuberger sadly passed away 4 days later during the opening night when the theatre caught fire.
