There are a few names for this,it is very similar to Magic Wagon's Chiang Mai Block,same workings
but at a fraction of the cost.
Performer puts 2 ropes through block,block is placed in cabinet,door is closed.the ends of 1 rope are crossed over the top of the cabinet and tied,2 spectators hold the ends of the rope and pull,ropes penetrate the block and cabinet :D Pete
