Triple XS Slim by Mark Infiniti

Created by: Mark Infiniti

Triple XS Slim is a close-up magic trick where a small object, such as a coin or a ring, visually transforms into a mint inside a sealed pack of mints. The trick is now compatible with Mentos packaging, making it more accessible internationally. Spectators can see the mints from all angles, and even eat one after the trick, adding to the impossibility. The original version works with Extra Strong Mints for larger objects up to 23mm. The trick requires a quick reset, which can be managed by pre-labeling extra mint tubes or performing it once per set.

Effect

The Triple XS Slim is a visual object-to-mint routine where a borrowed or selected item (such as a coin, ring, or card corner) vanishes and impossibly appears inside a sealed pack of mints. The performer can show the mints from all angles before and after the transformation, and even allow the spectator to open the pack, remove the object, and eat a mint if they choose.

Full Details

Compatibility: The Triple XS Slim now comes in a Mentos version, making it more accessible for international performers where Extra Strong Mints are less common. The original Extra Strong Mint version (handling objects up to 23mm) is also available.
Reset: The trick requires resetting the mint packaging after each performance. Pre-labeling extra mint tubes can reduce reset time to under 10 seconds. Alternatively, performers can limit the effect to once per set.
Handling: The method allows for clean visuals—spectators can see mints on either side of the object as it falls out, and the pack remains examinable before and after the effect.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Close-up and walkaround magicians looking for a high-impact, visual transformation.
International performers who prefer Mentos packaging over Extra Strong Mints.
Workers who prioritize reset efficiency—pre-labeled tubes make repeats manageable.

Difficulty

Mechanics: The method is straightforward, with no complex sleight of hand required.
Reset: The main challenge is reapplying the mint label after each performance. Pre-labeled tubes or printed templates (using rubber cement) streamline this process.
Angles: Minimal angle sensitivity—the pack can be shown openly from all sides.

What Magicians Say

Mark T (SaturnMagicShop) calls it a "spectacular effect" with an impossible visual: "Spectators are truly stunned when you do it... you can show the pack all the way around, and they can even eat a mint afterward."
Practicality: The Mentos update was highly requested, making it more versatile for global performers.
Reset Workarounds: Some performers prefer using it once per set to avoid mid-gig resets, while others prepare multiple labeled tubes for quick repeats.

The Triple XS Slim is praised for its clean visuals, practicality, and strong audience reactions, making it a standout choice for object-transformation magic.
