Triple X by Mark Infiniti

Created by: Mark Infiniti

Triple X is a close-up magic trick where a coin or ring mysteriously appears inside an unopened packet of mints (like Mentos). The magician shows a sealed mint packet, breaks it open, and reveals the spectator's borrowed ring or a coin inside. The trick is highly visual and leaves the audience baffled, as the packet appears completely normal before the revelation. It's perfect for walk-around magic, parlour performances, or even social media content due to its clean and impossible nature.

Effect

Triple X is a visual coin or ring production effect where a borrowed ring or coin appears inside a sealed mint packet. The magician shows an ordinary packet of mints, tears it open, and reveals the spectator's ring or coin inside. The effect is clean, surprising, and leaves no trace of how the object got inside the packet.

Full Details

Triple X is designed to work with standard mint packets, such as Extra Strong Mints, and a new "Slim" version is available for slimmer mint packets like Mentos. The effect is self-contained, meaning no additional gimmicks or switches are needed during performance. The magician can use a borrowed ring or coin, making the effect highly deceptive.

The trick is practical for close-up, walk-around, or even social media performances. The method is straightforward, allowing the magician to focus on presentation rather than complex sleight of hand.

  • Performers who want a versatile effect that can be done with borrowed objects.
  • Social media creators who want a visually engaging trick for short videos.

Difficulty

Triple X is beginner-friendly, requiring no advanced sleight of hand. The method is easy to learn, and the reset is quick, making it suitable for repeated performances. The trick relies more on presentation than technical skill, so even new magicians can achieve strong reactions.
