Zig-Zag-Cig

Effect: Magician puts a cigarette, a pencil or a rope (or basically anything fitting into) in a small box, then pushes the center portion of the box sideways until all three parts can be seen fully separated (can even be taken out and examined) - after pushing the center part back, the content is magically restored. Both cutting and restoring can be done in full view (the hand is faster than the eye!).

Required Skills: Selfworking

Comment: Nice trick - similar to Clean Cut. Cut pieces can be taken out and examined; but the box is a little too big for only such a small item to be cut. Tenyo's most copied trick.
