Hand of Fate

Hand of Fate – Guillotine Illusion Prop, Hand of Fate is a dramatic, 3D-printable guillotine-style magic illusion designed to fit an adult hand. Perfect for magicians, escape rooms, or theatrical performances, this prop creates the shocking effect of a blade passing cleanly through the wrist — while the performer remains completely unharmed. The design features three functional openings: One for the performer’s hand One for a vegetable or prop (like a cucumber) that is visibly cut — enhancing the illusion One that reveals the blade underneath, selling the realism of the effect Once the safety pin is removed, the blade can be pushed down to complete the illusion. Print & Assembly Info: Fits standard printers (Bambu A1, 256×256 mm bed or larger) Requires minimal supports No glue is required — though a small amount is recommended for the blade to improve durability Prints in standard PLA or similar materials Great For: Magicians and illusionists Haunted houses & Halloween props Stage or escape room effects Anyone who loves theatrical illusions with real physical mechanics No electronics. No risk. Just classic sleight-of-design.

A Quick Note
Each model is tested before sharing, but every printer is a little different — sometimes a small tweak is all it takes for a perfect print. If you run into trouble, try:

• Giving your build plate a good clean
• Rechecking bed leveling or Z-offset
• Slowing down the first few layers
• Using a brim or raft for extra grip
