Created by: Mickael Chatelain

LuckyMan by Mickael Chatelain is a close-up magic trick that transforms ordinary Tic-Tac candies into impossible feats with fully examinable props. The trick includes three main effects: Passage (a penetration effect where a Tic-Tac magically passes back into a closed box), Oil and Water (a separation effect where mixed colors are magically separated), and Signature (an impossible location effect where a signed Tic-Tac is instantly retrieved from the box). Ideal for close-up and walkaround performances, it uses everyday props (a Tic-Tac box) to enhance the impossibility of the effects, with no reset needed between performances.

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.
