Crystal Prison by Flat Base & TCC Magic

A collaboration between Flat Base (creator of PIN) and TCC, brings a miracle in the audience's hands to the world of cube magic.

The Effect

The magician introduces a prediction bag and two cubes. An audience member selects one, signs it, and scrambles it. Both cubes are placed into a paper bag. The magician removes the unscrambled cube, leaving the signed, scrambled one inside. In a startling moment, the paper bag is crushed flat: the signed cube has completely vanished.

The magician opens the prediction bag to reveal a locked transparent box. Inside sits the audience's signed, scrambled cube. After this impossible revelation, you can seamlessly transition into other routines, such as an instant solve or a pattern matching effect.

Alternative Presentation: You can also start with a scrambled cube already locked inside the transparent box. After making the audience's signed cube vanish, the cube inside the box is revealed to be the very one they signed.

Ultimate Transparency: Perform at a very close distance. Every prop is fully inspectable after the effect, ensuring a high sense of mystery and participation.

Many cube effects are difficult to perform "in the hands" or ends with "unclean" props. Crystal Prison solves both, providing a clean, high-impact finish.

More than just a transposition, it is an expandable framework:

• Cube Transposition: High engagement with a profound mental impact.
• Prediction & Reveal: The premium storage pouch doubles as your prediction bag.
• Seamless Integration: Transition effortlessly into instant solves or matching routines.

Professional Craftsmanship

The components are engineered for professional use:

• Precision Cubes: Each cube is hand-selected and treated for maximum smoothness.
• TCC Exclusive Shell: Produced on a dedicated line with custom stickers to ensure it is indistinguishable from a standard cube, even at close range.
• Crystal Acrylic Box: Extensively tested to balance crystal-clear aesthetics with a smooth user experience.

Easy to Master: Requires no complex sleight-of-hand, allowing you to focus entirely on your presentation and audience interaction.
