For me, setting the height to 0 for some cells and another height for other cells wasn't an option, as all my cells have different height.

I created another cell in Storyboard, and set row height of 0 (in size inspector). Then in the code, I show the cell with height = 0 if I want to hide it, if not, I show the other cell:

if (hideCell) {
            let hiddenCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "hiddenCell",for: indexPath) as! TheWallTableViewCell
            return hiddenCell
        }
else {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell",for: indexPath) as! TheWallTableViewCell
        return cell 
}

In the didSelectCellAtIndexPath method, you can set the height to 0 to hide it :

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if indexPath.row == 0 {
        let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forItem: 1, inSection : 0)
        let secondCell = tableview.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
        secondCell.frame.size.height = 0;
        self.view.layoutSubviews()
    }
}

If you want an animation, just put self.view.layoutSubviews() in an UIView animation method UIView.animateWithDuration... etc

Although you cannot stop the static table from trying to show your cells, you can set their height to zero, making them effectively invisible:

Add this method to your table view controller delegate class:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
    return cell == myHiddenCell ? 0 :  super.tableView(tableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath)
}
