Stick with the matchbox Report this review

Although I’m sure it’s a great effect, if you suffer from any sort of arthritis in your fingers, you won’t be able to set the prop. Perhaps my son will be able to use it. I have the matchbox penetration and audiences like it very much. I should have obeyed the old saying, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…’

Holy Wood is a Work of Art! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 19th, 2025
I also have industrial Revelation, and although similar they are not the same. Holy Wood is truly a piece of art. If you own Industrial Revelation, be sure to watch the full tutorial. They do not operate the same and you will damage it if you try.

I almost returned mine after putting it under an high power magnifier, all I saw was a block of wood. I thought I had been sent the Holy Wood normal block instead of the gimmick. That is how good this is.

I am so glad I added this to my collecton.

Well made fooler Report this review

I haven’t bought magic in a long time, and it’s been even longer since I replaced one of my top 10 tricks I regularly perform with a new effect. Since purchasing holy wood, it has been my most regularly performed trick. Having owned industrial revelation, holy wood packs the same impact of the transformation but the subtlety of showing a full deck inside makes it even stronger. It won’t weigh down your pants either. The mechanism is undetectable and it’s one of those effects you wish you could show the method to your spectator because of how clever it is.

This is cool / this was a good purchase Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 3rd, 2025
This is a great trick. Instructions in Chinese with English subtitles, but no big deal. I gave this 5 stars….and FYI, I too have arthritis in my hands, but when properly handled it’s no big deal. You will have play with the gimmick to understand how to set it, but once you understand how it’s very easy.
This is one closeup trick that I will use
