A coin visibly travels and vanishes using invisible thread in a sleek sleight-of-hand routine. It’s quick, visual, and has just enough pun to keep things playful.

You sketch a shoe, then one literally falls out of your notepad. This visual gag is ideal for stage or parlor magic with a strong comedic edge.

A signed card travels impossibly into a closed card box in full view. This is a strong closer or opener that uses simple props for maximum impact.
