What is the reality of contemporary magic that involves seeing a woman cut in half, placed in a box, and having swords passed through from the sides?

This act is called "eye magic" by common people, and it is a type of forbidden sorcery. It is defined as sleight of hand that makes something appear other than its true nature. Some scholars have issued fatwas that those who perform strange acts, such as cutting off a person's head and reattaching it, are considered sorcerers. Therefore, it is not permissible for them to do so, nor is it permissible for anyone to attend their performances. It differs from true magic, which many scholars have deemed an act of disbelief on the part of those who practice it.
