The performer shows a beautiful wooden box with three brass rods penetrating through both sides and then asks if anyone can guess what’s inside? He then removes the rods, shakes the box and, sure enough, something is heard inside! The box is now opened to find that the interior is filled with a solid ornate block of wood! Everything can be immediately handed out for examination with no switching of anything required.
The illusion created of how the solid brass rods could have gone through the block of wood in three different locations looks impossible. This is truly a surprising and baffling close-up mystery.
This is a much improved and updated version of the original Matchbox Brass Block Penetration effect. The clever mechanism incorporated will even amaze those who own the original model.
The box measures approximately 7cms wide, 8cms high and 7cms deep and has been completely handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a lightly distressed oil finish. The block has also been beautifully made out of genuine teak and artistically decorated with 18 pieces of brass hardware.
Due to the complexity and construction processes of the brass & wood involved, this item is offered only in a limited quantity.
Special thanks to Mr. Tony Curtis for coming up with the name for this effect.
