Effect
Passage by Mickael Chatelain is a magic trick that uses a standard Tic-Tac box and candies. The magician places two Tic-Tacs, one red and one white, inside the box. They remove one candy, close the box, and with a simple gesture, the candy appears to pass back inside. Both Tic-Tacs are now inside the box again, and everything can be handed out for inspection immediately.
