Solid Condom by Magic Diamond is a revolutionary close-up magic trick that updates the classic matchbox penetration effect. The magician shows a box (originally a condom box, with a family-friendly cookie box alternative) and a sharp object like a needle or knife. The object is pushed through the box, seemingly penetrating it, only for the box to be opened revealing a solid steel block inside. The trick is notable for its instant reset capability, allowing it to be performed multiple times in front of the audience without needing to hide the reset process. The steel block is heavy (over 430 grams) and can be examined by spectators, adding to the trick's believability.
In this episode of Alexis' Reviews, Alexis dives into Solid Condom by Magic Diamond, a trick he discovered at Blackpool. The trick involves showing a box (originally a condom box, now also available as a cookie box for family-friendly performances) that can be penetrated by a sharp object like a needle or knife, only to reveal a solid steel block inside upon opening. Alexis highlights the trick's high-quality craftsmanship, the convenience of its reset mechanism, and the excellent customer service provided by the creator, Nuno. He mentions the trick's price is around €250, with shipping costs between €20-€25, and notes that the product is handmade, with limited availability. Alexis demonstrates the trick, emphasizing its practicality for close-up magic and the ability to reset it in full view. He also discusses the included accessories, such as a belt clip holder and a travel toothpick, which add to the trick's versatility. The only con Alexis identifies is the price, but he argues that the quality and performance justify the cost. He concludes by comparing Solid Condom to similar tricks on the market, declaring it the best due to its mechanism and overall quality.
