Make three coins travel mysteriously one at a time underneath two playing cards. Each translocation becomes more impossible as you slowly show your hands empty before and after the coin travels. You really must see this to believe it!

Impossible Matrix will completely fool magicians and lay people alike. A unique gimmick is used that eliminates the need for the sleight-of-hand or special coins used in many other matrix routines.

Impossible Matrix comes with the cards, special gimmick, and full routine. It works with any coins!

Sound suppressor Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 23rd, 2003
One important note that I didn't see included in any description before I purchased this trick: the trick must be done over a surface that suppresses sound (such as a mat, a tablecloth, felt, etc.) You cannot perform this trick over a wooden table, for example, or the sound of the coin(s) hitting the table will give away the trick.

Otherwise, this is a great trick that requires a lot of practice to master.

There are too many problems with this routine that keep me from recommending it. The issue is the gaff. Because of its construction, your angles are horrible. Secondly, because of the way it works, it forces you to handle cards in a way that looks, and even sounds, unnatural. You might get away with that kind of move once, but when you have to keep doing it over and over again, it's going to become obvious to the spectator that somehow the method is relying on that.

The original classic matrix routine is not all that difficult. The sleights are basic and certainly not beyond anyone's capability. And to be honest, even though you could say Impossible Matrix doesn't require sleights, the handling of the gaff is a little awkward and finicky, so it doesn't really seem any easier than employing basic sleights.

Well it's a great effect. Just nail down the move like Oz. And no matter what, the gimmick is invisible. It's just that the trick is so simple. But they say the more simple a trick is it is better. And that's true, I agree. I just don't know about this one. Good trick, a bit clever:)

Not bad! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 12th, 2004
The trick is not bad, it works on some people, but you have to be very skilled to actually do the trick right. The way you handle the cards to conceal the secret is pretty hard. Well, maybe I'll get better at this...

Great effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 30th, 2003
This is a great trick. When I first started practicing this trick I thought to myself "This is so clever". It shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes or less to have the basic routine down. This looks like real magic. Also, if you have the spectator do a little something to "help" the trick work, like snap to make the coin move then I think it makes it a lot better to the spectator. Overall this is a great trick and I recommend it highly.

When I first got this trick I didn't like it or even understand it very much at all, but when I finaly performed it to my relatives they were in awe. This is a really good trick.

Perhaps the best ten bucks spent on a very clever and deceiving trick. Works so well that you will impress yourself every time you do it.

Eye opener Report this review

I've done Chink a Chink with half dollars and a *****, but this gets almost as good a reaction. The gimmick allows you to move nice and slow which will add to the amazement of the transportation of the quarters. And the price is right, so give it a try. And of course practice first.
