We have a magic trick for your today…and not just any magic trick. This is Metamorphosis as performed by The Pendragons.

Metamorphosis is an old trick done by so many magicians that it long ago became a cliché. It's the one where one person is tied up a couple different ways and locked in a trunk…then another person stands on that trunk and, before you know it, the two of them have changed places. You've seen it as many times as you've seen the Linking Rings or the Cups and Balls routine and you're sick of those.

Every so often though, a magician comes along who takes an old trick and makes it (a) new and (b) their own. You oughta see Johnny "Ace" Palmer do the Cups and Balls. Amazing. And now, you're about to see Jonathan and Charlotte Pendragon do their version of Metamorphosis. It's so special that when they do it at the Magic Castle, seasoned professionals in the world of magic stop by just to see this trick. They do it faster than anyone ever has…and actually, I think this is an old video and they now do it even faster than the demonstration you're about to see. In person, of course, it's even more stunning.

One other thing before we get to the clip: After you're suitably impressed by the trick (which only takes a minute and a half), notice what Charlotte Pendragon is wearing at the end, then run it back and notice what she's wearing at the beginning. It's another little twist they put on an old trick and many people miss it. Like it isn't already amazing enough.
