Crystal Cleaver – Tenyo

The Crystal Cleaver is an iconic ring-through-box illusion from the renowned Tenyo collection. A ring – which can also be borrowed – is placed into a crystal box, the lid is closed, and the box is covered with an empty tube. A small magical cleaver is inserted into the top of the tube and, with an unusual movement, seemingly instantly pushed through the crystal box and the ring. When the tube is removed, the sword is still through the ring in the box – an astounding revelation that fascinates both the audience and spectators alike.

What makes the Crystal Cleaver special?

• Precise, reliable mechanics for a clean, clear illusion.
• Compact and portable – ideal for close-up performances, street magic, or stage shows.
• Versatile applications: Use a ring from the audience or your own props – a classic "Ring Through Box" effect variation.

Application Tips

• Prepare the ring and box cleanly so that the sword passes through clearly without resistance.
• Before the performance, include a short, quiet beat or speaking pause to build tension.
