Two of the routines I used to enjoy performing during the last century… when dinosaurs roamed the earth were the Sympathetic Matchboxes and the Acrobatic Matchbox. I stopped doing them many years ago but always looked for modern versions using modern and innocent looking props so when I saw the latest release using a Tic Tac container, which had a kicker ending, I had to get one and the method did not disappoint and the bonus, examinable, version was even more to my liking.
►Acrobatic:
A modern version of the classic Acrobatic Matchbox using a Tic Tac container.
The basic routine has you put a box of Tic Tacs on your palm. It mysteriously stands on end and then the lid pops open by itself, and as a surprise ending a Tic Tac jumps out which can be easily eaten or given away.
As a bonus handling you are shown how to do an almost identical routine using an ordinary, or even borrowed Tic Tac box.

You often read me praising the magic of David Roth, many of his best routines were published in his groundbreaking book that has been out of print for a while. The new reprint is available below. Before the reprint you would have paid 3-5 times what the new retail price is.

►David Roth’s Expert Coin Magic:
The legendary David Roth was the most influential and creative coin magician in history. He literally revolutionized the way coin magic was performed and perceived.
This book contains almost all his best routines. The routines, and techniques that created his legacy and that he used to earn a living with, both from lay audiences and magicians.

►Fortuna:
An excellent interpretation of the classic Mental Choice routine where a spectator has a free choice of any of five cards depicting good luck charms.
What makes this version special is that whatever your audience member or friend selects has been predicted in advance and those predictions are excellent.
Watch the video trailer. Everything is explained so you will know exactly what you are getting and how everything is revealed.
