Unveiling The Impossible Chair: A Cody Fisher Masterpiece

Prepare to stun your audience with 'The Impossible Chair' by Cody Fisher, a truly ingenious magic routine now available as a digital download. This captivating effect begins with an innocent invitation: a volunteer joins you on stage and takes a seat. You borrow a ring, and under conditions that defy explanation, it vanishes without a trace. As your volunteer naturally inquires about its whereabouts, you deliver the classic line, 'You're sitting on it!' They stand, look, and find nothing. But the magic has just begun.

With an immediate follow-up, you clarify, 'No, not on TOP of the chair, UNDER the chair!' With completely empty hands, you lift the chair and reach beneath the seat, producing what is aptly named 'The Impossible Box.' This clear, seemingly impenetrable box is secured by six heavy-duty rubber bands. Its only opening is a tiny pinhole, just large enough for a piece of yarn. Inside, visible from all angles, is a three-inch ball of yarn.

The Multi-Layered Reveal: Beyond Belief

The volunteer is then invited to hold 'The Impossible Box' as you begin to pull the yarn through the minuscule hole, slowly unwinding the ball from within the transparent confines. The audience watches, transfixed, as the yarn unravels. Once fully unwound, a shocking secret is revealed: nestled at the heart of the yarn ball is a small metal box, also secured with several rubber bands. The anticipation is palpable.

The rubber bands are removed from the clear box, allowing the small metal box to be extracted. Next, the bands securing the metal box are carefully peeled away. The moment of truth arrives as the contents are revealed: it's the volunteer's very own ring! This isn't just a trick; it's a meticulously crafted experience designed to leave a lasting impression. As Cody Fisher himself states, 'This truly is a packs small / plays big routine. This very special chair does all the work for you. Their actual ring is already inside the small metal box before they even stand up! Once you remove the box from under the seat, you never touch it again...' Master this incredible piece of magic and elevate your performance to new heights.

Original Specs

The Impossible Chair

You invite someone onstage and have them sit on a chair. You borrow a ring and cause it vanish under truly impossible conditions. When your volunteer inquires to the whereabouts of the ring, you say, “You’re sitting on it”! When they stand up to look at their seat, there is nothing there! You then say, “No, not on TOP of the chair, UNDER the chair!

With completely empty hands, you pick up the chair and reach under the seat and pull out a clear box. (The Impossible Box) The box is held closed with six heavy duty rubber bands. The only opening in the box is a tiny hole on one side that is just big enough for a piece of yarn to fit through. Inside the box is a 3-inch ball of yarn that can be seen on all sides.

The box is held by your onstage volunteer as the yarn is pulled through the tiny hole while slowly unwinding the ball of yarn. The audience can clearly see the ball of yarn unwinding from inside the clear box. Once the yarn has completely unwound, it is now revealed that in the center of the yarn ball is a small metal box that is also secured with several rubber bands.

The rubber bands are removed from the clear box and the small metal box is removed. The bands are removed from the small metal box and its contents are shown to be the volunteer’s ring!
