Classic Matchbox Penetration by Magic Diamond

Effect

What magicians say

Blake Vogt endorses this trick as a strong commercial item for working performers. He says, "The real strength of this effect lies in its practicality." He notes that the prop is "both durable and well-made" and highlights that it "requires no sleight of hand, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels."
