DANS BASEMENT- DIY MAGIC - TICKTOIDS
THE HYPE:: This is an ultra visual transposition done in the spectators hands. The spectator holds the Tic Tacs while you have the Altoids. In a shake the tin of Altoids transforms into the box of Tic Tacs. The spectator then opens their hand revealing that they are holding the Altoids.

THE METHOD/TEACHING:: First Dan shows what the effect looks like in performance and then explains how the effect is accomplished. Starting off he explains what is needed to create the illusion of the Tic Tacs switching with the Altoids. Yet again the method is ingeniously easy, it took me maybe half an hour to an hour to get the moves down smooth enough. Dan gives you plenty of options to work with and subleties to get the best of the effect. He shows the angles to work with, for most of the effect you should only perform for no more than 4 to 6 people at a time and doesnt really work for being surrounded because they would be able to see the " magic". Other than that you should be fine.

THE LOWDOWN:: Well I love the simplicity in this effect, it's so direct and visual that the spectators dont know what hit them. Luckily I got a chance to perform this for a couple of buddies of mine and they couldnt figure it out and now my phone is full of texts askin me how I did that "Tic Tac Trick". That is the impact of this effect, if people ask questions then your job is done. I will add this to my repetoir because its something I can carry around in my pocket and takes but a second or two to set up.
