Effect

The performer shows a picture of a wine bottle and a glass. He introduces a piece of black paper and a punch. Then he punches a hole in the paper. He picks up a small circular piece dropped from the punch and explains that it looks like a real hole when it is placed on the photograph. When he makes a magical gesture, the circular piece begins to move by itself. The performer waves his finger under the photo to show that the small piece of paper has turned into a real hole. Spectators can see his finger through the hole. The magician drags the hole to the edge of the picture and picks it off. The performer shows both sides of the photo to prove there is nothing funny about the picture.

Includes gimmick photo, a piece of black paper and instruction sheet.
