An elegant wooden frame is displayed along with a regular playing card which is then inserted into
a slot at the top. The doors are then opened showing a slit running across the middle of the frame.
Now, a brass blade is shown and this is then pushed through the slit visibly cutting the card in half.
The two halves are now removed showing them to be separated and as this is being done, the
spectator can also see right thru the empty wooden frame. All is then reversed and the card is
removed once again and shown to be fully restored !
The card can be completely examined before, during and after the effect!
The see-through aspect makes the effect seem absolutely impossible!
The effect is completely self-contained with nothing more than the
items shown being used!
The frame measures approximately 12cms wide x 12cms high x 8cms deep
and has been completely handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a
lightly distressed oil finish - The beautiful brass blade as shown in the
photo is also included - Thanks to Tony Curtis for illustration above.

The look of the prop reminds me of their sought after item: MW-105 Impossible Glass Penetration...
That is a nice presentation Olaf, however the movement by your fingers at 1:33 kind of reveals how it is done. However I think there is no way around this 'move' for the trick to work and of course, up close on video is not the same as in a real life presentation where it would hopefully fly by spectators
I don't have the trick in hand yet but I think it is quite versatile. Madison's and Olaf's presentations confirm this. I also think the angle issues in real life are certainly doable in a parlor setting.

That's a good presentation Olaf. I especially like the ending where you managed to show the frame empty.That nicely counteracts expectations caused by the closed doors.
