The Cube Through Head by David Penn and TCC

Created by: David Penn, TCC

The Cube Through Head is a visually striking illusion where a Rubik's Cube appears to pass through a spectator's head. This close-up or parlour magic trick involves two cleverly designed tubes with strategically placed holes, allowing the audience to see the cube being inserted into one tube and then seemingly penetrating the spectator's head when the tubes are tipped. It's designed to be a centerpiece in a larger Rubik's Cube routine or as a standalone effect, made from high-quality North American Bonnet and comes with two velvet carrying bags. The cube size is standard, enabling integration with other Rubik's Cube magic effects.
