The Matrix routine just got a brilliant makeover
Forget coins and cards for a moment. Mat-Rix Stamps brings one of magic's most beloved routines into completely unexpected territory, and your audiences will absolutely love it.
Claude Rix has created something truly special here. Instead of the usual suspects, you're performing a stunning Matrix effect with colorful postage stamps. Yes, stamps. And trust us, this seemingly simple switch transforms a classic plot into something your spectators have never seen before.
Here's what happens:
Four stamps are placed in a square pattern on your close-up mat. Two red stamps sit on diagonal corners, two green stamps on the others. You cover two of the stamps with playing cards, and then the magic begins.
One by one, the stamps travel invisibly through the mat itself. A green stamp vanishes and appears under the card. Then a red stamp makes the journey. Finally, the second green stamp joins the others. All four stamps are now impossibly gathered in one spot.
It's visual, it's clean, and it's absolutely baffling.
Why Mat-Rix Stamps is perfect for your repertoire:
The genius of this trick lies in its simplicity and surprise factor. Stamps are completely ordinary objects that nobody associates with magic tricks. When you pull them out, your audience has zero idea what's coming. That element of surprise makes the Matrix effect hit twice as hard.
The color-coded stamps (red and green) make the routine crystal clear to follow. There's no confusion about which stamp went where. Your spectators can track every moment, which makes the impossible ending even more impossible.
And here's the best part: it's incredibly easy to perform. If you've ever struggled with coin sleights or fumbled through traditional Matrix routines, you'll appreciate how smoothly this plays. The gimmicked stamps and specially designed cards do the heavy lifting for you. You focus on presentation and entertainment while the method takes care of itself.
Perfect for close-up magic and table hopping
Mat-Rix Stamps is ideal for restaurant magic, strolling performances, and intimate gatherings. It packs flat in your close-up case, sets up in seconds, and resets just as quickly. The visual nature of the effect works beautifully in any lighting condition, and the stamps create a charming, slightly vintage aesthetic that audiences find delightful.
Whether you're a working professional looking for fresh material or a hobbyist who wants to add something truly original to your act, this is the kind of trick that gets remembered. People don't forget the magician who made stamps travel through a table.
What you get:
Everything arrives ready to perform. The package includes four specially gimmicked stamps, two gaff cards designed specifically for this routine, a stylish card holder to keep everything organized, and complete online video instructions that walk you through every detail.
Claude Rix has thought through every aspect of this routine. The method is clever, the presentation is strong, and the reactions are guaranteed. This is practical magic at its finest.
Why magicians love this trick:
Mat-Rix Stamps hits that sweet spot between familiar and fresh. Magicians appreciate the clever thinking behind adapting the Matrix plot to new objects. The routine respects the classic structure while adding enough originality to make it feel completely new.
It's also a fantastic conversation starter. After the trick, spectators often want to talk about the stamps themselves, which gives you natural opportunities to transition into your next effect or simply enjoy the moment of astonishment you've created.
