I have seen this plot a number of times over the years. Watched the promo couldn't work it out. This really is as good as the hype. Start clean, end clean. Nothing added or taken away and everything examinable, you even get a spare set. What is there not to like? Cheap, easy to do and different. Buy it!

Impossible Escape by Patricio Teran is an impressive magic trick that is sure to leave your audience scratching their heads in wonder. While the routine is short, it makes up for it with great misdirection and a quick reset, allowing you to perform the trick multiple times without missing a beat.

One of the best things about Impossible Escape is how easy it is to perform. The magician is able to immediately hand out all the items, making it seem like a completely fair and random selection. This adds to the mystery and intrigue of the trick, leaving your audience wondering how on earth you managed to pull it off.

The only downside to the trick is that it's short and doesn't have a large "slap" or runaway moment. However, this can be easily remedied by coming up with your own patter and creating a story around the trick. With a little creativity, you can turn this one-trick routine into a captivating and memorable performance.

Another great feature of Impossible Escape is its simple, easy, and quick reload. This allows you to perform the trick multiple times in quick succession, leaving your audience even more amazed with each repetition.

I recommend doing the trick for the first time under a fun cover, like a silk or a cloth, then telling your audience, "Let's do it again, but this time slower and without a cover so you can actually catch Houdini in the act - or maybe not." This adds a playful element to the trick and creates even more anticipation for what's to come.

Overall, Impossible Escape is a great trick that is easy to perform and is sure to leave your audience baffled. While it may be short, with a little creativity and imagination, you can turn it into a captivating and memorable performance. Highly recommended!

*The Video lesson needs a little more excitement as im afraid it will degrade the feel of the trick when you first see it in action.

Watched the video before the props arrived. In less than 3 minutes after opening the package, I was easily able to perform this effect. Of course, will still need to practice to get the presentation down, but this is so good. An easy 5 stars!

Penny for penny it's one of the best tricks I've bought. Having just paid $300 for another trick, this was well worth it and welcomed.

It does everything I like. I'm an amateur that often does tricks for friends and family at the dinner or restaurant table. People, especially young kids, like to touch and feel the tricks.

This is highly examinable and virtually fool proof (practice, practice practice first). Highly recommended for all levels of magicians, especially hobbyists.

These cards are built to last! But the button clips are not. Just being honest…penguin is generous enough to give you five but after two performances with one, it breaks. Maybe the quality of button clips have gone down (I didn’t go to Staples yet) but that’s no reflection of the trick in general or penguin magic.

This is not your father's whodini nut and bolt trick! What a fantastic method! I have a couple Houdini cards that have Houdini on front and back that I'm going to use instead of the orange card...

Best,

I am very happy with my purchase, everything is really testable before and after the effect, the system is very ingenious, I give it 5 stars, thanks penguimagic for bringing excellent creators

not a good trick. i see no way that the audience cannot see how this trick is done. it is too obvious.

- 2 stars for the misleading video. Once you buy, if you do, you’ll see what I mean.

The trick and cards are 5 stars, the fasteners are one star. I have already broken my 2 supplied fasteners just practicing the trick. Its easy enough to buy more fasteners, but if they break this easy, they should have come with more than 2 fasteners for this price point.
