"I love it because it is the best matrix with holes ever created. It’s impossible to create something better." - Julio Montoro

"Close up magic doesn’t get much more Visual, Fooling and Practical than this! - Didn’t see that coming.. The ending fried me!" - Nicholas Lawrence

"I know how this works and I still have no clue how this works!!! It’s that good!" - Simon Lipkin

Little Holes has driven the internet magic community crazy since it’s pre-release at Blackpool. Every review video featured Little Holes prominently because it’s got what we all want with our magic - hyper visual, huge surprise finish and deeply, deeply fooling.

Effect

The magician draws 4 dots onto the card box with sharpie. One at a time he impossibly slides them to one corner, matrix style. The fourth dot he offers the spectator the opportunity to throw it on themselves in a crazy visual moment. Then reality bends, the magician says they aren’t dots but holes. He takes the cards out of the box and we see the first card is totally black, and what happened dawns….we were really looking at holes in a box showing a black card the whole time. Then the best bit - you hand everything to your spectator because EVERYTHING CAN BE EXAMINED.

There have been hundreds of emails, DMs, texts, forum and Facebook comments from magicians trying to get a copy of Little Holes before release, the answer was always NO……but finally you can!

We’ve all seen moving hole tricks before, but not like this. This is a game changer! Little Holes isn’t just a big leap for tricks with holes, it’s a quantum leap.

Insanely visual

Great for socials or killer live

No sleight of hand

Easy to do

10 second reset

Utterly stunning surprise finish

Little Holes destroys magicians and laymen alike, you will leave them weeping in the dust! Best of all, there is ZERO sleight of hand! The handmade gimmick does almost all the work for you, you just need to get familiar with the props.

Each Little Holes is handmade by Roddy in red bicycle and it’s an incredibly time consuming job. Once these sell out, and they will, it will take a long time to get them back in stock.

Don’t miss out, order your Little Holes today to start melting your audiences brains tomorrow.

A great effect but sort of lacking in that there are many small technical issues to overcome. The handling will take time to adjust to, and it happens frequently. I think this effect could have been better detailed on how to over come some of the small issues people will encounter. Such as removing some of the cards from deck to make the gimmick move smoother, correct placement of thumb when having issues with covering holes and sliding gimmick. Detail on how to overcome gimmick sticking or titling when being moved. I have been playing with this trick to try and figure out how to do this effect smoothly and with 100 per cent problem free. I am getting better and finding it takes a while to finally have success.

Needed some fixing, but... Report this review

Yes, it's knacky. Yes, I had to modify the gimmick JUST A LITTLE BIT (that's why I gave it 4 stars). Yes, it took more practice than some things, but certainly not others. Is it worth it, though? YES! This trick is incredible! It's also fairly easy, once you get it down. I'd say some of my favorite recent releases took more time to learn and perfect. Laced Up, Liquify, Repo. They're all technically harder to get right, and I do them all the time. This isn't as hard and gets reactions as big as those or anything else that's amazing (that's why I gave it 4 stars). It's truly a shocking magical moment. It's also fun to do once you get it down, like any trick really. I saw how powerful this effect was in the trailer, so I didn't give up on it because it needed some work and I was handsomely rewarded. It's now going to be something I do until I die.

Roddy and Noel have done it again. This looks great, is easy to do, is a fooler and it's all examinable. What more do any of us want in a trick?

Great Idea But... Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 24th, 2024

My wife noticed the holes or that something was up, granted she's used to me playing tricks on her. Probably better with drunks in a bar.

The gimmick works good for the first reveal, but mine is janky with the other two, wants to do both at once. I'm almost thinking of modifying the routine to reveal two holes at once.

I think the hole reveals and gimmick could be nailed down solid so it happens in more definitive steps so the magician can be more confident.

I love Roddys ideas, it's just the construction has to be spot on perfect for them to look good enough. I had the same issue with Little Door, some didn't notice, others were like whats up with the box?

Basically it just never goes as smooth as the video shows, except for Lucid, nothing but praise for that. Everyone loves that trick and nobody gets it.

So yeah if you can nail down the reveal in better steps you can feel, I would give this a 5. For mine anyway it's just very hard to separate those last 2 holes being revealed. I've tried adding an subtracting cards too in order to make it more tight or loose.

Thanks!
M.

100% a brilliant effect! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 21st, 2025

I'd ignore the other fussy reviews...I have a collection of pretty much the best magic you can have/perform and this ranks up at the top of most insanely visual and beautifully thought-out moving hole plots with card/cardbox... the ending is a super twist and will definitely baffle most people when performed properly. I agree with some other reviewers that the gimmick itself is somewhat "knacky" at first(as magicians we should be kind of use to this sort of thing lol) but out of alot of gimmicks I have used this is overall very methodical and simple to bring out of play to clean up once the effect is accomplished. You can end very clean/examinable. I think this is a brilliant effect. If your any good at routining or pocket management this could easily be brought in and out of your working routine to change things up from card magic.

An Amazing Matrix ILLusion! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 2nd, 2025

Another great trick by Roddy McGhie. I now own 3 tricks by R.M. ALL involve a card box and a sharpie. Also own Chop by Craig Petty, which uses a sharpie! I would rate this trick at close to 100% for easy to do & amazing spectators reaction. A real gem of a trick with reference to the classic coin matrix. I liked the alternate handling of the black dots being on a bicycle card rather than the solid black card.

Ok idea Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 1st, 2024

So the gimmick is poorly made. When showing my wife she quickly spotted issues. You cant show people the box before preforming And I'm not even saying you can't hand out for someone to look at prehand if anyone knows what a box looks like will quickly catch this. so it's not good for close up. Unless you pull the deck out and hey wanna see a trick and don't let anyone see anything. Witch part of the trick is showing them what your doing.

I ordered this and I don't have the actual product as of yet. However, the tutorial gives you everything you need to know about how amazing this effect can truly be. I knew instantly that this illusion is going to shock spectators and I cannot wait to try it out. Highly recommend!
