Double Cross

The super visual, easy to do trick as seen on The Tonight Show. 

Remember the old trick of making ash jump from your hand to the spectator's hand? Remember how strong an impact you used to get from something so easy it was almost embarrassing?

Double Cross is a similar effect, now updated for the 21st century. 

What Happens?

You ask your spectator to close their hand into a fist. You then draw an X in the middle of your palm before closing it into a fist too. 

After the magical gesture of your choosing, you open your hand to show your X has vanished. The spectator opens their hand, and the X is right there, in the middle of their upturned palm. 

This gets reactions of a Blaine TV special, but without the need for a camera crew. 

The method is not only ridiculously simple, it's practical too. You get a specially made gimmick that is always ready to go. Simply pop the pen in your pocket and you're ready to create memorable miracles. 

You get everything you need to perform this: cunningly made Double Cross Sharpie, secret gimmick and an incredibly detailed, HD video instruction produced by MagicSmith. 

Remember: it's fully self-contained, resets instantly and you can perform it completely surrounded. You can even get refills for the gimmick here

Great closeup and (apparently) impromptu EDC. Never fails to get a good reaction. Even for an amateur you can perform great trick, and with some creative routining turn it into a minor miracle. The tutorial was very clear on how to use the gimmick, but I did have to do some online searches for performance videos to clear up some handling questions.

If you're looking for a close-up effect that packs a punch, Double Cross is unbeatable. I’ve been performing for over 20 years, and this is one of those rare tricks that leaves people absolutely stunned, every time. The simplicity of the method combined with the sheer impossibility of the reveal creates a powerful, memorable experience. It’s quick, impactful, and perfect for close-up magic; in fact, they won’t let you leave once they see it! This is one of the best reactions I’ve ever gotten from any effect—worth every penny. Works amazing as an opener, work perfect for any group and any age. Don't miss it, it's legendary.

This is one of the greatest pieces of magic ever created. The only downside is if you sweat during performance it will be a little difficult to do, unfortunately I haven’t found a workaround for that. But this is still one of the greatest products available. It’s used by professionals like David Blaine, Dan White, etc. The effect is incredible and if you do your job right, the spectator will believe you never even touched them.

Double Cross is deceptively simple to perform and absolutely destroys spectators. I was hesitant to pick it up for a long time dude to some reviews saying that they had issues with theirs but I bit the bullet and couldn’t be happier that I did.

Such a beast of an effect. Need to improvise something on the double ? Or you're just looking for a kickass effect. Definitely worth every penny.

Love performing this effect there was some things I just had to adjust cause it was difficult for me but other than that this effect is brilliant

A lot of thought has gone into this fine effect which goes over very well, and it's easy to perform especially if you're used to "handling" a spectator.
Downside:
Expensive cartridge refills, and my pen dried up within only a few times of performing, however, Vanishing gave me an excellent and fast service in replacing the dried up cartridge with a replacement. Will have to see how long this one lasts.

Best sharpie magic along with smoke 2.0. With bit of misdirection this is easy and strong effect. I also use this with smoke device and the reaction is 10× better.

This product is well worth your money. I know its steep at 60 bucks, but the effect is so powerful I can say with full assurance that its worth it. It is very easy to learn and you can be performing it within an hour or two, just got to practice and make it look good, but oh man, people will remember you for this

Even though I just got this all it took was an hour of practice and I am now able to perform the routine. This is probably my favorite gimmick of all time. It gets the best reactions out of all my gimmicks. All in all really great product! 9.9/10.

I love this so much. It is flawless and kills every time. It is one of my goto effects and it's always in use. It is worth every dollar so I suggest you buy it now even if you're on the fence.

If you want a modern, pocket-ready version of the classic Ashes on Palm effect, this might fit the bill. Choreography and timing are what make Double Cross really sing in spite of a straightforward, relatively simple method. Don't be fooled by the ease of it; put in the rehearsal time and really fine tune the tempo and offbeats of this thing, and you have a powerful piece on your hands. Not really for me ultimately, but the years and years of strong reviews do not lie.

Love the effect only problem is have trouble with the pen secret as it a bit tight and I have a disability that effect my finger that I have to adjust it. Which mean also refill are a a pain it part of stuff it 25.00 or 6.00 and not including shipping. So if you have trouble with your fingers movement and loosing things this trick will run you almost $100 dollars
