The Demon Fantastic Steel Ball Thro’ Bolt

This very well made brass trick can be examined both before and after the performance. A bolt is locked into position in a small brass frame by a nut. A solid steel ball is placed on top of the frame, and begins to sink slowly into the frame until it drops out of the bottom. The steel ball has penetrated the brass bolt.
