The Ectoplasm Trap is a supernatural enchantment that can decelerate the movement of anything it hits via a mass of ectoplasmic energy and it is one of the many magical spells in the 2010 Disney fantasy movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The only known spellcasters who uses this magic are both the Merlinean wizard Balthazar Blake and his former best friend-turned-sworn enemy Maxim Horvath.
