Transparent Matrix by Richard Mo

Created by: Richard Mo

Transparent Matrix is a hyper-visual close-up magic trick where four coins (half dollars) appear to jump and gather under a single transparent card, creating a clean and deceptive Matrix effect. Spectators see the coins visibly penetrate through the semi-transparent cards, assembling in one corner with stunning clarity. This trick is ideal for set performances, social media content, or practice sessions, but requires a black close-up pad and specific lighting conditions for optimal visibility. It includes five semi-transparent cards, a plastic wallet, a gimmicked half dollar, four black cutouts, and a 30-minute tutorial, making it accessible for beginners with no complex sleights needed.
