Performance: In our opinion this is the BEST version of this effect you can buy. Each one is handmade and the craftsmanship is a work of art. This is why they are only available in limited quantities. Its so well made you would be proud to put this on display on your shelf! The main reason we LOVE it here at Magicbox is because its LIGHT. Most of us here at Magicbox are workers; we go out and perform a lot. There are many other versions of this effect available and many are also excellent. Some are in matchboxes, phone cases and others in card boxes like this one. However most are made from metal. This is great, however they are always heavy, especially if its a deck sized piece of metal. As a worker this weighs your pocket down significantly. Because this is wood, its far lighter; in fact its actually lighter than a regular deck making it much more practical. No it doesnt \”lock\” but there really is no need. Its so well made a spectator will never find the secret. When it was first released a few years ago, staff here at the shop all bought one. We cant recommend it any more than that!

Hanson can make it able to show the both side at the same time. – Charming Choi Holy Wood is absolutely beautiful! I think Hanson really took the idea for this type of gimmick to the next level. Fantastic! -Dan White When I first opened the gimmick, I literally thought Hanson just shipped a block of wood to me as a prank. Upon further inspection,I was wrong. The gimmick is beautifully crafted, truly a piece of art. –Eric Chien The effect is solid, the trick is solid… Meticulously made, The most deceptive version. Looks perfect. -Garrett Thomas I love it!
