A kind of transformation media, which we shall call the anti-cloak, is proposed to partially defeat the cloaking effect of the invisibility cloak.

Fourier-Bessel analysis confirms this finding by showing that external electromagnetic wave can penetrate into the interior of the invisibility cloak with the help of the anti-cloak.
