[Dailydrool] Jordini

When my son was in middle school, he and a friend used to perform Houdini tricks for their class. In one trick, the magician's assistant climbed into a big cardboard box and an audience participant came up, inspected the box, then duct-taped the top closed while the magician looked on. (There was a rope trick involved too, but that's irrelevant here). Then a curtain closed. When the curtain opened, the assistant was standing outside the box, and the box was still duct-taped closed (and roped), but now when the audience member came back up and cut the tape (and rope) off, the magician was inside the box. The trick (leaving the rope aside), was in the bottom of the box. There was a piece of cardboard which the person inside the box lifted to access the folded cardboard flaps underneath. The magician and assistant traded places by slipping out the bottom of the box, leaving the taped parts as is. To make a long story shorter, do you suppose that Jordan is
 nosing under the wire floor--if it is a folding crate--slipping out the cracks between the floor and the walls, and then the box falls down again after her exit, bungees intact and cover undisturbed?
