A wooden frame with four windows is displayed. Each glass panel is tapped with the neddle, proven to be solid. Now, two windows are covered with a panel in front and in the back. The rod with a length of ribbon attached is then pushed right through the holes in the middle, apparently penetrating the glass! The rod and the panels are then removed, showing that the glass to be unharmed and still perfectly solid.
The panels are now placed over the other two glass panes and the effect is immediately repeated again! Then all four windows are covered and the needle is pushed through each one, leaving the ribbon running completely through the holes! The frame can then be shown on both sides and there is no explanation as to how the brass rod could have gone through the glass! It looks truly impossible!
Now, comes the killer ending. The ribbon and the panels are removed, and the glass is completely lifted out of the frame! It is seen, to the audience’s surprise that it’s not four separate windows, but one solid sheet of glass which can be handed out for examination.
This effect is based on an original idea called Warlock’s Glass Penetration. The brilliant design and engineering by Peter Warlock creates an unbelievably convincing illusion that makes it seem visually impossible to work the way one might think it would. It is an amazing illusion.
The frame stands approximately 26 cm. high and comes with glass, needle, ribbon and video explanation. Everything packed in a solid wooden case.
