Effect

LuckyMan makes ordinary Tic-Tac candies perform impossible feats. The audience sees candies pass through solid objects, separate by color against all odds, and a signed candy instantly found in a shuffled box. Every effect ends with the props being handed out for examination.

Full Details

LuckyMan is a magic routine by Mickael Chatelain that uses a standard Tic-Tac box. It includes three main effects:

  • Passage – Two Tic-Tacs (one red, one white) are placed inside the box. One is removed, but with a gesture, it passes back inside, leaving both candies in the box.
  • Oil and Water – Four red and four white Tic-Tacs are mixed by a spectator. The magician removes four, and they are all one color, while the remaining four are the opposite.
  • Signature – A spectator signs a single Tic-Tac, which is mixed back into the box. The magician instantly retrieves only the signed candy.

    • The routine requires no reset between performances, and all props remain examinable.

    Who Should Consider the Trick

    LuckyMan is ideal for magicians who perform close-up or walkaround magic. It suits those who want a practical, repeatable routine with everyday objects. The effects are visual and leave no trace of the method, making them strong for impromptu performances.
