ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sawing a woman in half

Okay, imagine you have a toy box with two big toys called Top Half and Bottom Half. You want to show your friends a magic trick where you make Top Half disappear and then reappear somewhere else.

Now imagine a woman who wants to be part of the magic show. She gets in a box that is about the same size as the toy box. The magician uses a special saw to cut the box and the woman in half, but don't worry, it doesn't hurt her!

Then the magician separates the two halves of the box, showing the audience that the woman's body has been cut in half. But guess what? It's another trick! Inside the box, there are actually two secret compartments, one for the Top Half of the woman and one for the Bottom Half.

So the magician moves the Top Half of the woman into one compartment, and the Bottom Half into the other. Then, the magician slides the compartments back together and lifts the box, showing that the woman is back to her whole self!

It's a cool magic trick, but it's all made up and the woman is never really in any danger. It's all just pretend.
