For those of you that think this effect is a dog, or lacking punch...
try and catch Danny Orleans doing his version of it. It is pure power. He uses it in his trade show arsenal. It will have you seeing it in a whole new light.

I use this trick everytime I do commercial close-up. I stress (jokingly) that this is an illusion, not a trick. Oh yes! "There is a difference between these things in the magical fraternity", I like to say. I emphasise all through the routine that what they are seeing is not what is happening. I also ramble on about this being an illusion like you would see on stage but I have brought the wonder of illusions to your table. (I use a cocktail stick as it is the easiest thing to use and is not out of place in wine bars)

Anyone know where I can get the routine and props for this effect using an ungimmicked steel block?

This is great timing. Rumour has it that I might have some new work coming out with regards to this...

It's quick, entertaining, mysterious. Who cares about a metal block? When it appears out of a matchbox a pin has just passed thru. I think it deserves some attention. Offends the senses? Ohhh man! Sense of smell, taste, hearing? Anyway this has always been a great effect in my opinion. JC |

Careful there. I bought a Magic Makers one that worked great. I then lost it. Then over the course of a couple of years I bought 6 more Magic Makers units. None of them worked well enough to use.
They are hit or miss at best from my experience. I'm glad you got a good one Ted. I know they are out there, just few and far between IMO. Sammy

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to touch base with anybody interested in the Original Matchbox Penetration "Cerillas Bloques" to let you know that Magic Inc. in Chicago just bought the manufacturing and distribution rights from Selecciones Magicas. Jose Llacer came up with the concept and the original Brass Block Penetration in 1995, and since then it has become a modern day classic. Unfortunately many "versions" of the trick have come into the market since. Most used a simplified manufacturing process that unfortunatelly is not as mysterious in the workings (split-down-the-middle). So, since Llacer and Selecciones Magicas were no longer making these, we decided to give it the royal treatment! We bought the rights, and are now making them in the USA (right here in Chicago). We also made 2 little adjustments that make this even quieter than the original, and that keep the secret hidden even when the piece starts to tarnish (no more half circle on the short side). As a bonus, when you buy this from us you will get a copy of Danny Orlean's Magic Alchemy routine, which in my opinion is the best routine for this trick. It takes it from a puzzle (how did the match go through the block) to MAGIC! (where did the metal block come from, and how did it get here?). Because of this, it throws the scent in the opposite direction of the original routine, and makes it a truly mystifying magic effect. This is the routine performed by both Marco Tempest and Steve Cohen in television appearances across the world! As a side note, you can only do this routine with the Original Matchbox Penetration, and not with any of the modern versions. So, if you want to see Danny's routine, feel free to check it out on our site (same link as before): http://www.magicinc.net/MagicBoxPenetrat......ion.aspx And if you have any questions about this new version, the workings, routine or anything else relating to this, please do not hesitate to ask, either here or through PM. Cheers, Pedro Nieves Magic Inc. |

Hello Dave
I seem to remember that matchboxes from Canada worked well with the original Spanish incarnation of this delightful apparatus... Julie |
