Break Thru

One of the BEST “deck penetrations” I’ve used.Things like Revolution and Hollywood are amazing, but they’re expensive—and sometimes the audience can "hear" the magic. They also don’t hold up well if dropped or handled by an over-determined participant. I’ve had my Revolution dropped in someone’s hands, and it nearly exposed the method. Plus, you have to keep up maintenance to prevent the secret from being “painted black.” (If you know, you know.)But here’s the thing, both versions I mentioned end with a solid, opaque block. Cool? Yeah. But it also leaves room for suspicion. Something could be going on in there that they can't see.This version, though, leaves the participant with a solid CLEAR block. You can hand out the block, the box, and even the little acrylic pick (careful, that thing is sharp) for full examination.The effect itself is incredibly simple to perform, which gives you more room to focus on presentation. The reset can be a little annoying at times, but it’s not terrible. And once you understand how it works, you can remake or refit the “system” into any deck.I love my Revolution, but I hate how it sits in my pockets. It got so bad I literally designed a holster to suspend it from my shoulders just to keep my outfit from being dragged down by a block of steel.This version? Lightweight, compact, and practical. I keep it ready in my pocket, with the pick tucked into the cellophane for easy access and organization.If you’re on the fence about getting it, let this be your sign.Trust me, you’ll get just as strong reactions with this as you would with the more expensive versions. Also something I do with it is place a card in front and behind the block. This allows me to pierce through both cards with the pick, a knife etc, let the participant pull the pick all the way through, then show that the cards have a phole but the block dosnt.
