Impossible Escape by Patricio Teran is an impressive magic trick that is sure to leave your audience
scratching their heads in wonder. While the routine is short, it makes up for it with great
misdirection and a quick reset, allowing you to perform the trick multiple times without missing a
beat.
One of the best things about Impossible Escape is how easy it is to perform. The
magician is able to immediately hand out all the items, making it seem like a completely fair and
random selection. This adds to the mystery and intrigue of the trick, leaving your audience
wondering how on earth you managed to pull it off.
The only downside to the trick is that
it's short and doesn't have a large "slap" or runaway moment. However, this can be easily remedied
by coming up with your own patter and creating a story around the trick. With a little creativity,
you can turn this one-trick routine into a captivating and memorable performance.
Another
great feature of Impossible Escape is its simple, easy, and quick reload. This allows you to perform
the trick multiple times in quick succession, leaving your audience even more amazed with each
repetition.
I recommend doing the trick for the first time under a fun cover, like a silk
or a cloth, then telling your audience, "Let's do it again, but this time slower and without a cover
so you can actually catch Houdini in the act - or maybe not." This adds a playful element to the
trick and creates even more anticipation for what's to come.
Overall, Impossible Escape is
a great trick that is easy to perform and is sure to leave your audience baffled. While it may be
short, with a little creativity and imagination, you can turn it into a captivating and memorable
performance. Highly recommended!
*The Video lesson needs a little more excitement as im
afraid it will degrade the feel of the trick when you first see it in action.
