Brass Sword Matchbox Penetration

The magician removes a single match from a matchbox and passes it easily through the hole in the center of the matchbox to prove that there is nothing in the matchbox.

So far so good, but what happens next will leave the audience stunned. The magician then opens the matchbox to reveal a solid brass block inside - A complete, solid, impenetrable block of brass that happens to fill the matchbox.

The effect is very magical and, at one time, made frequent appearances on TV magic shows.

*** this effect was originally done with a match stick. But I think it's better to use a sword. It's more visual and more dramatic. I will include a free metal sword with each purchase.
