Omni Air by Victor Sanz

Effect

Omni Air is a visually striking solid-through-solid illusion. The magician presents a deck of cards wrapped in cellophane with visible holes. A pen effortlessly slides through the holes, demonstrating a seemingly impossible penetration. When a spectator tries to replicate the action, the pen is suddenly blocked by a solid glass block that appears out of nowhere. The glass block and deck remain examinable, allowing the magician to transition into other card routines seamlessly.
