Enigma Stick by Pascal Marc, Sugawara, and TCC Magic

Created by: Pascal Marc, Sugawara, TCC Magic

Enigma Stick is a versatile close-up and parlour magic utility device that allows performers to create seemingly impossible effects with small metal objects. Spectators witness a solid stick penetrating through another object, or see coins, needles, or other items move, levitate, vanish, or appear as if by magic. This magnetic prop is self-contained, requires no reset between performances, and is designed for magicians to build original routines around, such as penetration effects, transformations, and visual gimmicks. Buyers should note that while the handling is straightforward, it demands practice and creative presentation to maximize its impact, making it ideal for inventive performers looking to add a unique, deceptive tool to their repertoire.
