Slim Triple X by Mark Infiniti

Created by: Mark Infiniti

Slim Triple X is a close-up coin magic trick where a coin or ring mysteriously appears inside a sealed, extra-strong mint packet. The magician hands the spectator a seemingly ordinary mint packet, which they can examine. When the spectator tears open the packet, they find a coin or ring inside—something that was impossible just moments before. The trick is a sleeker, more compact version of the original Triple X, designed to work with slimmer mint packets like Mentos, making it more practical for everyday carry. This version allows for smaller items like pennies or rings to be used, though larger items like 10p coins fit better in the original. The effect is visual, surprising, and leaves spectators baffled.

Effect

Slim Triple X is a coin or ring magic trick where a borrowed coin or ring visibly appears inside a sealed, extra-strong mint packet. The magician shows an ordinary mint packet, tears it open, and the spectator’s coin or ring is found inside—completely impossible yet visually clean.

Full Details

Slim Triple X is a smaller version of the original Triple X trick, designed to work with slim mint packets (like Mentos). The effect remains the same, but the gimmick is adapted for a more compact presentation. The magician can use the spectator’s own ring or a coin, making the trick highly deceptive. The packet can be handed out for examination after the reveal, adding to the impossibility.

Who Should Consider the Trick

  • Coin and ring magicians looking for a visual, self-contained trick.
  • Close-up performers who want a quick, high-impact effect.
  • Social media magicians who need clean, camera-friendly magic.

Difficulty

Slim Triple X is easy to perform with minimal sleight of hand. The method is straightforward, making it accessible to beginners, but experienced magicians will appreciate the strong visual impact. Reset is quick, allowing for repeated performances.

What Magicians Say

Mark from SaturnMagicShop mentions that Slim Triple X was a consistent bestseller in 2024, with magicians frequently requesting a slim version for more discreet performances. He notes that while the original Triple X could fit larger items like a 10p coin, the slim version is ideal for smaller objects like rings or pennies, making it more practical for everyday carry.

The trick’s clean handling and instant reset make it a favorite among working performers, and its deceptive nature ensures strong audience reactions. As Mark puts it, "You can’t keep a good trick down—Triple X has been a hit for years, and the slim version just makes it even better."

If you’re looking for a visual, self-working coin or ring trick that plays big in close-up or on camera, Slim Triple X is a strong contender.
