Solid Condom by Nuno Rodrigues and Magic Diamond

Created by: Nuno Rodrigues, Magic Diamond

Solid Condom is a modern close-up magic trick that updates the classic 'solid through solid' penetration illusion, specifically involving a sealed condom wrapper. Spectators witness a borrowed ring or small object visibly and impossibly penetrate through the solid wrapper, which can then be immediately handed out for examination, reinforcing the fairness of the effect. This trick is designed for professional use in walk-around, table-hopping, or parlor settings, offering strong visual impact and a magical climax. Created by Nuno Rodrigues and released by Magic Diamond, it features an automatic instant reset, making it highly practical for repeated performances without delay. The prop is fully examinable, durable, and requires no sleight of hand, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels. Buyers should note the high-end price point (around €250) and the versatile presentation options that go beyond comedic angles, allowing adaptation to different performance styles.
