A box is easy to carry until—ZAP!—the magician Jade says the magic words. Suddenly, the box can't be moved!

In the front stage, you are invited to lift Jade's magic chest. Then, with just the magic words, "Sim sala bim," Jade makes the chest too heavy to lift.

Visitors can read about how French magician Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin invented the Light & Heavy Chest illusion. By changing the story around the illusion, he made it something new for different audiences.

Backstage, visitors will learn the secret of this miraculous transformation—yet still find themselves mystified by other versions of the effect.
