Super Tic Tac by André Patti

Created by: André Patti

Super Tic Tac is a modern take on the classic tic-tac container plot, designed for close-up magic. The magician takes a signed coin and holds a card box. With a magical gesture, the coin is apparently pushed into the card box. Upon opening the card box, a tic-tac container is revealed inside. The tic-tac container is then opened to show a tiny ziploc bag, and inside that is the spectator's signed coin. This trick is a visually appealing and updated version of the traditional 'coin in nest of boxes' effect, perfect for magicians looking to add a contemporary twist to their repertoire.

Effect

The Super Tic Tac trick by André Patti is a modern take on the classic tic-tac container plot. A spectator signs a coin, which visibly vanishes from the magician's hands. The magician then opens a card box to reveal a tic-tac container inside. When the tic-tac container is opened, a small ziplock bag is found inside, and inside that bag is the spectator's signed coin. The effect is a visually engaging nested revelation that builds suspense with each layer.
