The Effect
The magician picks out two wooden matches from a match box and sets them aside, inviting his spectator to examine them if they wish. Once the spectator is assured that there is nothing unusual about the matches, the magician takes them and holds them with the tip of the first finger and thumb of each hand. Tapping the matches together, the magician demonstrates that they can not pass through each other - until suddenly they are through, linked it one smooth move right before the eyes of the audience.
The Secret
A secret move - along with the temporary grip of the match on the skin - allows the magician to perform Wood Though Wood.
Performing the Trick
The magician holds one match between the thumb and first finger of the right hand and a second match in the same manner in the left hand.
Bringing the matches together the magician taps them against one another, showing how they can not penetrate each other.
On a count of “One, two three!” the magician makes the same move, but more dramatically and more quickly and on “three” opens the fingers of the right hand. The match, having been pressed into the flesh of the thumb, will stay sticking out of the thumb for a brief moment. This should allow the magician just enough time to get the match passed the left hand match and into the circle formed by the left hand thumb and first finger. Then the magician resumes his grip on the match and it will look as if the match sticks had turned insubstantial just long enough to penetrate.
