Double Cross by Magic Smith

Double Cross by MagicSmith is one of the most powerful and visual effects in close-up magic — and a modern classic in any magician’s arsenal.

Effect Description:

The magician draws an X on their own palm with a sharpie, then closes their hand. With no suspicious moves, the X visibly disappears from the magician’s hand and appears on the spectator’s palm — even though they never felt it!

• Without them feeling a thing
• With no sleeves, switches, or messy setups

Why It’s Powerful:

• It’s impossible, personal, and visual — spectators freak out when it happens.
• The effect is fully examinable — no sleights or gimmicks are left behind.
• Great for walk-around, street, or restaurant magic.
