Ask a spectator to hold out their hand and make a closed fist. Pull out a marker and draw an 'X' on the center of your palm and close it into a fist. Now without any rubbing, erasing or funny business, you slowly open your hand and reveal your X is COMPLETELY GONE. Now ask the spectator to open their hand - THE X IS ON THEIR PALM!

Ask them to try to rub away the X - they can't! It's Sharpie ink! Tell them not to worry though - it's safe and nontoxic and can be washed away easily with soap and water.

The secret behind Double Cross is diabolically clever, and perhaps more importantly, practical. Its always inked and ready to go. There is nothing you need to make or prepare beforehand - just throw the pen in your pocket and you can perform it all night long.

Because there's no difficult sleights, you'll sail through the routine. You're so far ahead the spectators will never remember you coming near them or even touching them. The result is a unique magic effect that's self-contained, has NO reset, and can be performed surrounded. Its a table hopper's dream.

Double Cross includes the MagicSmith designed and fabricated Double Cross Sharpie pen, accessories and complete instructions.

Fun and awesome effect. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 30th, 2017
I am just recently getting into magic and illusion. This isn't the first trick I bought off of this site. But it is the first from this site that I've put into practice. Getting the reactions I get are priceless. I'm currently practicing doing it one-on-one, so I've only showed maybe 5 people so far. Every time was an awesome reaction. I showed a co-worker, and he goes, "What are you? Possessed or something?" And the first person I showed, which was my dad, had the best reaction. Really really cool effect.

Disappointing... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 4th, 2019
I am not an expert magician, but I have been performing for seven years. I bought this trick because of the overwhelming reviews. But sadly, it did not live up to the hype.

It is easy to do, but the reactions are nowhere near what the hubris suggests. And, experience and practice aside, half the time they do remember my slight touch to their hand, and thus easily guess how the effect was done. Very disappointing.

But what really put this one on-the-shelf for me was how quickly it literally fell apart. First appearances behind me (and I am not hard on my gimmicks), I practiced and performed this about twenty times before the gimmick separated into pieces I had little interest in trying to fix. (It didn’t break, it came un-glued.)

So, no I would not re-buy or recommend this to others — regardless of all the 5-star reviews.

"Inked and ready to go!" Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 27th, 2017
...Always! Throw this in your pocket along with another sharpie and BAM! Minds will be shattered. That simple. I'm gonna go ahead and say please DO NOT GET THIS. This is just too, too good.

Very Impressive Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 11th, 2018
First of all, I was debating on hetting it because the price is steep. I am glad my impulse influenced this purchase. The gimmick is devious and well thought out. I have not done this trick in front of people, since I want to practice for a few weeks. My overall impression is, its definitely worth every penny. The trick will last for many performances, but if the gimmick runs low, there is always replacements. Dont think, just buy!

This is one of the GREATEST effects Report this review

Do not listen to what anyone else says. This effect gets the best reactions. This is the one they will remember. This is the definition of a worker. Easy to carry around and you will perform this every day once you put the practice in.

Gimmick well make but Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 21st, 2017
Gimmick well made but I have very sweaty palm so it won't work even uses the method taught. Classic Ash transfer move was more natural and nobody ever question the move! but for doublecross a very strong and. Good presentation/crowd management and showmanship to really make this trick work magical and not doubtful.

Absolutely genius Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 4th, 2018
Fantastic tool allowing amazing effect! Worth the money and well-made. An idea for future versions of this gimmick - including other options than the cross only, eg heart, that would be awesome and would win many hearts in the audience :)

Double cross them! Report this review

Can’t really add anything different from what has already been said. It’s good, very good, a real worker. A bit expensive but it is a real reputation maker. The gimmick lives in my breast pocket, if you take good care of it it won’t give you problems. Sometimes you get a bit of ink on your hands, and you know what? Who cares? Never had one single person that pointed out that my hands had ink on them as well. After all... I never touched them, my hands were never near them, and they are ready to swear it.
