In recent years, Glass Pierce X
has become a widely shared visual street magic effect on the internet. It was created and perfected by Chaow through more than a dozen real-world iterations. This project has garnered tens of millions of views on social media.
Now, after years of testing and refinement, it is finally available to the magic community.
The Main Effect
A simple, impossible moment:
- The magician draws a mark on one side of a glass plate.
- A spectator places their hand on the opposite side.
- The magician covers the drawn mark with their palm.
- In an instant, the mark visibly passes through the glass… and appears on the spectator’s hand.
No switches. No suspicious movements. Just a clean, visual transfer. It works on virtually any glass surface, so the moment can take place in real, everyday settings.
Glass Penetration
Although the penetration through the glass is the signature moment, Glass Pierce X goes further. The prop allows for multiple variations, including:
- Marking transfers without using glass
- Creative routines built around visual marker movement
- Seamless integration into your existing close-up material
