"I think this is quite good…took me a second view to get it! Nice!" - Jamy Ian Swiss

"Looking to burn your magician friends too…then get this!" - Jeff Hobson

"TINacious ups your "card in mint tin" game. It'll fool skeptics, repeat customers, and magicians." - Curtis Kam

"Scott has come up with a winning solution to the card in tin plot! The sneaky stuff is done in plain sight and totally invisible. No false loads, no action loads opening the box, and nothing to break. This is GOLD for the strolling magician. Bravo!" - Michael Kaminskas

Making a card appear in a tin of mints is the go-to ending of ambitious card for hundreds of magicians. Unfortunately, you always have to switch that card in right at the moment when the most heat is on the card. If you could really do magic you would open that tin, and the audience member would remove their own card. Their jaw would drop because there would be no switch. Everyone would gasp because they actually saw the tin empty before the card appeared in the tin. That is exactly what TINacious is.

TINacious is a specially gimmicked mint tin that has no flaps or magnets. Designed by Scott Alexander, this highly durable gimmick allows you to secretly load a signed playing card into a mint tin right under the audience’s nose. The best part is that when the mint tin is opened the card inside is actually their card. The audience can remove the card from the tin themselves. There is no switch to catch because no switch occurs.

This gimmick is perfect for your every day carry. It packs small and plays huge. Thanks to the expert teaching by Scott, you’ll be performing this routine in no time. He even includes multiple routines to learn. Check out TINacious today.

Disappointed Report this review

I’m totally disappointed. Sorry, but for 50 USD I expected some sort of revolutionary gimmick, not something I could’ve done by myself at home. Spectator can’t even glance inside it.

This is a fine routine with some issues. The prop in view can not be examined in any way.The price is too high for sure.There are just better options for a routine of this type on the market.

Knacky and Nothing New Here Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 3rd, 2024
First off, I had to return this twice for a replacement. The first one arrived with a dented lid and bent gimmick. The second one arrived with scratches on the top of the mint tin. When I received the third one, the top still had small scratches on it. Rather than return it again, I painted out the scratches so now it's passable as a normal tin.

Card To Impossible Location is nothing new and there are thousands of ways to do the routine using all kinds of gimmicks and sleights.

You have to be able to do an alternate MCF and the selected and signed card arrives inside the tin. Sounds great in principle but the "load" method requires a very knacky move and it takes a lot of practice.

Mint Box by Daniel Garcia is very similar from an effect point of view but uses a completely different gimmick than TINacious. Personally, I prefer Mint Box because the method looks much more natural.

Please note: Both TINacious and Mint Box include gimmicked mint tins and both need to be protected from accidental damage.

So, 3 stars for a new method, but for me it won't make it into my routine.

Could Be great Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 29th, 2020
I have been playing with this for a few weeks now.
Haven't found the rhythm of when to do the fold?
I like this trick, it is not easy, but it doesn't have to be hard, has lots of potential, I guess that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3. This is one of those effects that when you find YOUR VOICE in it, you will have something amazing, and it is just hard enough that many will not take the time to master it.
The gimmick is really well made.
