Sword through the head

Show a wooden chest with sliding doors at the front and back. Place the chest around the head of the blindfolded spectator and remove both doors so that everyone can clearly see the spectator's head inside the box. Then close the doors. Several swords are thrust through the sides of the box from all directions. Remove the front door to show that the spectator's head has completely disappeared and the inside of the chest is littered with swords. There seems to be no room to hide anything between the swords. The front panel is now replaced and all the daggers are removed. Finally, both doors are removed again to show that the spectator's head is completely unharmed; the chest is pulled off the spectator's head!

This is one of the most popular illusions of all time!
