The magician places a regulation die on top of a solid metal sheet, and covers the die with a cloth, to hold it in place. The die is unable to move in any direction. Upon the magician's command, the die visually penetrates through the metal sheet and falls into the glass below! Your audience can see the die through the cloth up until the last moment, as it slowly penetrates downward. The magical effect is stunning! This is a pocket-sized stage illusion that you can share with audiences, right in front of their eyes.

It's a solid through solid effect. The props are very well made and the secret is undetectable and very easy to activate and lock with a bit of misdirection.
All props are examinable before and after the effect.
It is visually stunning. The spectators see the die slowly and visually melt through the metal plate to land in a cup or even their hands.
I have had lots of fun with it. I printed out the English instructions form the Tenyo link. They are typical Tenyo, well written and easy to follow.
This is one of my favourite Tenyo tricks.

I love Tenyo products so I was excited to get the new 2015 range, However on opening this item I was really disappointed.
Although it's an improvement (secret wise) on the dice through mirror, Personally I find this one unworkable.
WHY?
My main problem is that it's too flimsy, It needs to be more robust.
You get one small bull dog clip to hold the material, it would either do with a long clip or two or three.
The secret part is very clever but the rest of it is rubbish.
I would be scared to hand it out for examination as it could easily be broken.
Tenyo normally make nice products but this has to be one of the poorest one to date and will sadly end up in the bottom of a drawer.
