During Melinda's performing career she was the only magician presenting the illusion. Melinda ceased performing in 2002 in order to raise a family and since then the drill has been performed by two illusionists in Europe. The German illusionist Jan Rouven and the Dutch Christian Farla. It featured in the 2005 edition of the annual German television special Stars in der Manege, in which actress, model and TV presenter Arabella Kiesbauer played the role of victim. In 2016, at Magic Con 2016 in Las Vegas, magician John Spencer gave a rare performance of the illusion using his guest assistant, singer Taylor Swift, as the victim.
