Hey there!
I just unboxed the latest release from Hanson Chien named Holy Wood : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5N0hVD2hek&t=50s Basicaly - Holy Wood is based on the classic needle through box but now you can finish with a solid wooden block. I've seen so many gimmicks and this one is part of my top 5 in terms of engineering quality ! The gimmick is 100% invisible and the weight compared to a block of metal/brass (from previous versions) is way better. This was limited to 100 units worldwide but I've seen they'll have more so if you are interested I think you should look at it before they are sold out once again.. |

I thought the link to to the video you shared would be an unboxing video, not just a performance of the trick.
Unboxing videos are very popular so you should change the name of your posts in the future so as not to confuse people. |

So, if you scroll back there is an unboxing. But for future linking, may make sense to link to the beginning of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5N0hVD2hek |

So now it’s a thing to announce you have a new video and then link to the middle of your own video?
Okay, well that’s an even weirder thing to do. Not that it contains any helpful information anyway, and is certainly not what is typical of an unboxing video. But oh well, whatever. |

If I remember correctly, he said his intention is to just do them as very, very quick videos so people can see what's actually in the package and what the effect looks like in a full performance. I kinda like his videos. |

Yeah seems more likely he just had the video paused at that point when copying the link. Youtube can automatically append the timecode in the link if you want it too. I'm really interested in the effect, I had wanted Jamie D. Grant's Industrial Revolution for a while, I'll guess I'll be getting this instead!

Takes me back to the first magic convention I ever went to. I bought that matchbox trick where you push a match through the middle and then proceed to tip out the brass block. This looks great.
For what it is worth, I do not think the video title is misleading. It was unboxed. Everything else was a bonus. Great job |

Hey there!
Sorry for the late reply. The fact the video begins in the middle on Youtube is a mistake since I begin by a kind of little cinematic unboxing and then perform the effect. My goal here is the take pleasure to make little videos where I unbox and perform the effects inside the box inside of a quick video |
