An older Dell, in the Fifites, is performing her signature version of the Nest of Boxes. She borrows small objects—rings, dollar bills, and so on—from her audience and then vanishes them in a Change Bag. Then they reappear inside a nest of boxes, tied around the neck of a white bunny.
The trick not only shows Dell's strength of personality but also her physical strength. Those boxes were heavy!
