Today we look into the potential future, where the traditional magic trick won't satisfy the audience. They crave a new authenticity and proof of dedication to the art form that mere sleight of hand can't possibly hope to accomplish. The audience is out for change and thanks to advanced surgical procedures, they'll have all the change they want.
One popular trend is spinal splinching, also known as the magician's assistant. It's a fairly simple procedure that consists of removing 78% of the flesh from around the midsection ranging from belly-button to pelvis. After the majority of the internal organs have been rearranged and given new structural supports, the intestines are then wrapped around the spine and covered with a nanite-based mass that acts as spinal support, protection for the intestines. This technique is also used on the upper and lower torso for the very same reasons. After the remaining blood vessels are threaded through the nanite cover and the modification has had five weeks to recover the individual is left with the illusion that they are two floating halves.
Another favourite, albeit rarer procedure is along similar lines only a tad more dangerous. It involves the old head-drop trick only in this case the brain is removed from the head for safety reasons, the brain stem and all its accoutrement are relocated within a hard semi-permeable medi-plastic container and surrounded by the intestines. The brain stem can then be elongated through specialised stem cell based neuro-tubing that allows for the new neck muscles (adapted to be compact and hyper-flexible, the windpipe and oesophagus re-tubed to compensate for this) to "drop" and mimic the trick without causing harm.
