This fooled me so bad when I first saw it!

Unavailable until now, this miracle has been locked in a vault for 2 years due to an agreement with a well-known magician who wanted it for his own personal repertoire. One of the perks of being a wealthy illusionist, I guess. Once you see the effect, you'll understand why he got so greedy.

Here's what happens:

Starting with nothing in your hands but a deck of cards... have your spectator choose a card, then have her point to ANYWHERE on the window. You then proceed to MELT her card right through the glass at EXACTLY that point. You have to see it to believe it.

It works on shop-windows, car-windows, glass doors.. almost anywhere you see a ordinary single-pane window. No assistants required, and it looks good from almost ANY angle.

PROFESSIONALS: This is a show-stopper. Look at the demo. If you need a card-through-window to end your show, this is definitely a trick you should consider. It's my personal favorite card-through-window by far.

Almost real magic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 17th, 2017
I have not received the actual gimmick yet, but the video is now on my penguin account. I cannot comment on the actual gimmick, but I can comment on the method. I'll update my review once I receive the gimmick. I have never seen the method for a card through window, so this is my first time ever seeing ANY card through window method.

Pros:
1. Moves done to perform this require you to know 2 BEGINNER basic moves. I've been doing magic for 8 months and learned both within month 1.
2. It can be done on MOST windows.
3. No trace of foul play can be found.

Cons:
1. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying this is obviously not impromptu. It will require some set up for whatever window you use. You could technically set this up in your car and just use your car window to do the trick.
2. Card dropped into and through the window cannot be examined unless you do a quick top change or any change. However, there would only be a few reasons why a spectator would ever want to touch or see the card.

Worth it from what I can see in the video, but I'll keep you updated on the gimmick quality.

Good for video Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 23rd, 2017
This would be great for a youtube video or something. Takes set-up and some .... So not something that you would be able to perform at a show or when you are doing effects say at a bar unless you get lucky and have a perfect spot to do it. I think over priced for when and where you can do the effect.

hoping for better Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 3rd, 2017
Disappointing.....you have (better) materials laying around at home and you can craft the gimmick better. One of my worst Penguin purchases when you combine the weak gaff with the impractical (at least for me) limitations

Nice effect but not impromptu Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 15th, 2017
As long as you understand that you're not going to walk up to any window out of the blue and produce a card on the opposite side of the glass (which you should understand), you will appreciate the effect and the gimmick.

I buy many effects, and as I am not a pro nor semi-pro, I only practice and perform those that are really workable for me. This trick, though clever, does not meet that criteria.

It’s not very good. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 9th, 2017
Here’s why: it’s a cool idea but it requires a bad set up in my personal opinion. It also is angle sensitive and the gimmicks card is difficult to use and grab. I posted this on my Instagram and got a lot of views. The only problem is you will most likely never be able to perform successfully or comfortably to a live audience. Not a very good trick . Not a good investment. Clever though.

Do not buy this! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 11th, 2021
I bought it for a $1.50 on open box and as soon as I saw the gimmick in the online video I canceled the order. I've had nothing but amazing experiences with Penguin but do not buy this, even at the low price I got it for. This is super impractical and requires set up and lots of hiding in plan site that most people will see no matter how good your misdirection is.

Not the best Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 27th, 2017
This is a wonderful trick if you don't mind the set-up and you are okay with the spectator not handling the card after it goes through the window. For me I feel limited by it and for the amount of set-up for an "okay" effect just isn't worth it. Plus my gimmick came a little goofy and I have still have to fix it in order for an easier "move."

Visual but extremely limiting Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 12th, 2017
As you can see from the demo that this is extremely visual and if you pull it off, it will leave people dumbfounded. The downside is you will be extremely limited in the situations in which you would be able to perform this.

Pros:
- Very visual
- Well made gimmick
- Good instruction in the online explanation video

Cons:
- Limited places you'd be able to perform this
- The end card isn't examinable

unbroken is unsatisfied Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 2nd, 2023
Nice preview but left out one aspect...REAL LIFE. This has a 10% chance of working in real life. Misleading statement about the ease and on-the-spot effect.

Worth the Price Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 27th, 2017
This delivers exactly what was promised. Any seasoned magician realizes the card does not really penetrate the glass. It is an illusion.
The principle is very simple - a favorite attribute for experienced magicians - and the handling is very well thought out.
The price may seem a bit steep, especially when the materials required to construct the gimmick are not very complex. But remember you are paying for the method and the immeasurable time and effort required to work out a useful (I would say flawless) presentation.
This requires little 'Sleight of Hand' but deserves a fair amount of practice.
I love it.
