This is a superb close-up effect.The performer displays a match box. A needle with ribbon attached is passed through the middle of the box.
Then the match box is handed to a spectator to examine. Imagine his surprise when he finds the match box contains a brass block which fills the entire inside of the box. The brass block can be examined. Yet it is ingeniously gimmicked to allow a needle to pass through it’s middle, – an excellent piece of precision engineering in solid brass.
This is not a cheap trick, – you could probably buy a dozen or more pocket items for the cost of this one item. For the magician wanting something special and exceptional, this is very good value for money.
