You don't need to be a magician to check out all of these clever disappearing acts, but it helps. Magicians in top hats aren't the only ones making things disappear, you know--celebrities have been making unsightly body additions go away for ages!
Now you too can learn how to make anything vanish into thin air by checking out these clever disappearing acts. Who's up for a little illusion?
Implications - Can you imagine having a disappearing staircase in your household? You can literally slide the thing into your wall and then pull it out again for use. I imagine the thing's probably great for practical jokers, but horrible for anyone with children or elderly in their households.
