I purchased Toibox as a result of seeing a lot of Johnathan's work on Youtube. I was not sure what
to expect as the trailer doesn't show a full performance of the trick but I guessed that it would be
workable.
I was correct.
Johnathon has clearly worked this effect hundreds of
times and this is clear in the live performance videos. The numerous amounts of card to box options
out there in the magic community is vast so why do we need this one? My main answer is because it is
very practical and totally ungimmicked.
Johnathon goes through his handling of the tin as
well as multiple ideas of loading the tin, many of which are incredibly deceptive. My favourite move
is the lid slide load. The tin and your hands are shown clearly empty. The tin is given to the
spectator to hold in their hands. A card is selected, vanishes and appears inside the tin in the
spectators hands!
A clear and detailed looked at the mercury card fold is included as well
as Johnathan's own personally tips on how to do it more effectively. There is also a fantastic
effect which ends with a spectators card being found folded up in the mint tin which does not use
the mercury card fold.
The instructions have no fancy editing but this doesn't matter as
all moves are explained in detail and very clearly.
Can't wait to try this out. Just need
to buy some mints now :) Great Job Jonathan Kamm. Highly recommended.
FANTASTIC!!!
