Witness the Impossible: The Core Effect
Imagine this: a transparent box, openly displayed on your table, holding a clearly visible folded playing card. A spectator freely selects a card, signs it, and it's then lost back into the deck. Through a series of magical gestures, their signed card vanishes. You then pick up the transparent box, remove the lid, and with a delicate tip, the folded card slides to your fingertip. Slowly, you unfold the card – and it's unmistakably their signed selection. Your hands and the box are shown undeniably empty, leaving absolutely no trace of the trick. The retention of vision achieved as the card is tipped out is incredibly strong, creating an illusion so powerful it feels truly impossible.
Precision Engineering & Enhanced Portability
Designed and remanufactured by the TCC Team, the Mystery Solved 2.0 box is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship. Smaller and more refined than its predecessor, which catered to larger billets, this version is precisely tailored to accommodate quarter-folded playing cards and smaller billets. Its compact size makes it highly portable, a perfect companion for close-up magicians and strolling performers. The transparent acrylic construction is not only elegant but also robust, with a thickened lid specifically engineered for enhanced stability and long-term durability. This thoughtful design allows for the box to be placed under a glass for an even more impossible reveal, pushing the boundaries of what your audience believes is possible.
Unleash Your Creativity: Beyond the Card
While Mystery Solved 2.0 excels in the 'Mystery Card' plot, its potential extends far beyond. The highly deceptive mechanics make it ideal for a multitude of mentalism routines, clean predictions, and other vanishing/appearing effects. Included materials allow you to easily customize multiple gaffs for various small billets and playing cards. The construction process is straightforward, taking only a few minutes, meaning you can adapt the prop to your specific needs and performance style with minimal effort. The possibilities for creating astonishing, unique illusions are truly endless, making this an indispensable tool for any serious magician or mentalist.
Original Specs
Mystery Solved 2.0 is a new version of the incredible Card to Box effect created by David Penn eight years ago.
Here is one of the effects you can do: You begin by placing a transparent box containing a folded playing card on the table in full view of the audience. An audience member selects a card, signs it, and loses it in the deck. After a series of effects, the card disappears from the deck. You then pick up the box, remove the lid, and tip the folded card to your fingertip. You unfold the only card in sight, and it is exactly the signed card. You can show your hands and the box clearly empty, leaving your audience completely baffled.
The retention of vision is incredibly strong and deceptive when the card is tipped out at the fingertips, making it ideal not only for the Mystery Card plot but also for other mentalism routines and clean predictions. Its possibilities are endless.
Compared to the original Mystery Solved, which was designed to produce lottery tickets or larger billets, the Mystery Solved 2.0 box, remanufactured by TCC Team, is smaller and tailored to accommodate smaller billets and playing cards. It is designed to fit a quarter-folded playing card precisely, making it highly portable and ideal for close-up performances. This design allows for a more convincing display of the folded playing card, and the smaller size of the box provides greater flexibility, allowing it to be placed under a glass for an even more impossible effect.
The Mystery Solved 2.0 box is meticulously crafted with attention to detail. It is made of high-quality, transparent acrylic that is both exquisite and precise. The lid has been thickened to enhance stability and increase durability.
