Little Holes

Created by: Rody McGee, Null Qualter

Little Holes is a visually stunning close-up magic trick where the magician draws four dots with a Sharpie in each corner of a card box. One by one, the dots impossibly slide across the surface of the box until they all land in one corner, creating a Matrix-style visual. The magician then reveals that these weren't just dots but actual holes, showing through the box to a solid black card inside. The trick concludes with everything being handed out for examination, making it a baffling and interactive experience for the audience.
