"Double Cross" has for years, remained one of the most popular close-up effects performed by magicians around the world—and it’s a trick we often recommend. As a modern take on the classic ash effect, the climax happens unexpectedly in the spectator’s own hand.
Now comes a new variation that takes the effect one step further: A mark vanishes from your hand and appears on the spectator’s—through a pane of glass!
It’s based on a crazy secret. Not quite as practical as Double Cross, but if you’re looking to perform something truly crazy —the kind of effect that builds your reputation—this is a very strong choice.
Developed and refined by Chaow, the effect has already gained millions of views on social media. Now available from your humble Danish magic dealer.
The Effect
A simple—yet impossible—moment:
You draw a small mark on your hand (a cross or a circle) and hold it against one side of a glass surface.
A spectator places their hand on the opposite side.
Moments later, the mark has penetrated the glass—it has vanished from your hand and is now visible on the spectator’s hand!
A small but striking miracle that really gets people talking.
Can be performed on virtually any glass surface—in real, everyday environments.
More Than Just Glass
While the penetration is the signature moment, the Glass Pierce X technique allows for much more:
- Transfer marks without using glass
- Create visual routines with moving markings
- Integrate seamlessly into your existing close-up material
What You Get
- The required transfer system
- Two designs: circle and cross
- A special pen
- Clear instructions
Ready to perform right out of the box. You can perform the effect again and again—but eventually, you’ll run out of the special material. That’s why refill packs are also available.
