Minted is another Alakazam exclusive.
Minted is Craig's take on the classic Matchbox Penetration.
Imagine showing a pack of Polos/Livesavers and explaining you are going to show a couple of puzzles. You introduce a long needle and piece of thread. You show the first puzzle where you place the needle and thread through the middle of the tube of mints, which isn't very puzzling as you could be going between two pieces, next you place the needle and thread down the center of the tube so that is comes out of the bottom, again not very puzzling as the mints are known for having a hole. Here comes the puzzling part, from the tube of mints you drop a solid brass block which fiils the entire tube out onto the spectator's hand.
Key Points:
The solid brass block is fully examinable
Use any wrappers you like
Use any solid items to pass through the wrappers like a wooden coffee stirrer, cocktail straw etc
Whats included:
Custom machined brass block
Polo and Lifesaver wrappers to get you started
Foil wrappers to get you started
Needle & Thread
