One of the most popular ways to make someone appear in a chair is called the Sub trunk illusion. This is where the magician has a false bottom to their trunk, and someone is hidden underneath. When the trunk is opened, it appears as though the person has magically appeared in the chair! Other ways to make someone appear in a chair include using sleight of hand or misdirection. For example, the magician could have a helper bring out a chair and pretend to sit in it, while the real person is hidden behind a curtain. When the curtain is pulled back, it appears as though the helper has magically disappeared and been replaced by the person who was originallyhidden!
