The performer presents a hollow magic wand with a hole running through its center, along with a pen that fits perfectly through the hole, and a small steel ball. All items are available for examination by the audience.

To begin, the pen is placed through the hole, effectively blocking the passage through the wand, and the steel ball is dropped into the tube. As expected, it cannot pass through. With the impossibility clearly demonstrated, the performer casts a spell, and when the ball is dropped into the wand, it passes completely through to the other end.

This effect can be repeated multiple times, allowing the audience to witness the magic consistently. At the conclusion of the performance, all items are once again handed out for inspection, proving that there are no hidden gimmicks.
