Maskelyne and Devant performing trick 1906
A trick without a title, Maskelyne and Devant stage magicians are offering 50 for the best title for their trick. In the course of the trick a man is bound to an iron frame in such a way that he cannot move his hands, body or legs. He is put into a cupboard, which is hoisted up clear of the stage. The doors of the cupboard are then closed. When they are opened, something has happened buy Messrs. Maskelyne and Devant wish to keep the climax of the trick as a surprice to their audience.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Maskelyne and Devant, two renowned English magicians of the early 1900s, captivate their audience at St. George's Hall Theatre with an intriguing and mysterious trick in this 1906 photograph. In this act, a man is securely bound to an iron frame, leaving him completely immobile, unable to move his hands, body, or legs. With a wave of their magic wands, the magicians lift the man off the stage and place him inside a cupboard. The cupboard is then hoisted up out of sight, leaving the audience in suspense as to what could be happening behind the closed doors. The masterful illusionists, Maskelyne and Devant, keep the climax of their trick a secret, adding to the excitement and anticipation of the performance. The illusion, which remains titleless, is a testament to their skill and artistry in creating a magical experience that leaves the audience wondering and marveling at the impossible.
