Effect

Titan's Finger is a close-up magic trick that creates a shocking visual illusion. The magician places their finger inside a small tube and uses two sharp blades to seemingly slice the finger in half. The audience sees the blades pass completely through the finger, which is then visibly separated into two parts. After a dramatic pause, the finger is restored to its original state. The props—the tube and blades—can be examined by spectators, adding to the mystery.
