I like the way the object pops out of the 2nd box instead of just being found there. It was a nice touch.

It's a nice trick and good premise. It does feel like it could have some improvement, like involvement from a volunteer, showing the empty boxes, continuing to larger objects. Can't wait to see you go back

In magic, if you're going to make something appear in a box, you have to show the box is empty at first.

Yup.. closing the doors. Johnny Thompson hammered that into Penn and Teller's heads. Still a good act.

This was a great performance! Glad to see more interesting ideas for tricks on stage. As a lot of people mentioned before, it would be a bit hard to perform for laypeople as people would assume that the items are still in the box and being pushed out with a separate mechanism, like a remote in your pocket or shoe. For performances not with an audience like P & T, it would be nice to have a moment of proving the audience's guess completely wrong. Just have a complete trick misdirection (make the trick look like it's happening one way, but it's performed in a different way) or some way of people believing in the mechanism to feel immersed in your performance.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I don’t know why people is so obsessed in showing the boxes empty. My trick is a Portal, the thing that had to fool them is how the travel works. That’s the important thing. Nevertheless I show the empty box at the end and to Brooke as well. The first box with the money I shake it to prove the bill’s gone… I think it would be boring and repetitive to show ALL the boxes empty in each phase of the routine. But that’s just my opinion. Oh and you’re so wrong in the method. Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻

If she put the sticker wherever and it ended up like that then you would get the how tf did he do that response. Fun trick though. Good job.

I completely agree.... I'm a hobbyist magician who has watched a LOT of Fool Us and when you watch a lot you see trends. The very best performances lead you to believe you've got the trick figured out and then WHOA- they completely disprove you, and all within the act itself. There was one trick I remember where the magician presented many decks of cards in a carousel-like mechanism and shows how the gimmicked deck selection works. Then he reveals that the rotating carousel of card decks are actually just a flat piece of paper with multiple decks printed on them, leading you to believe that there was only one deck the whole time. I feel this trick really needs a game changing reveal like this. Like many others have commented, there are many moments in the trick that would have been enhanced with "provers" to make the trick feel all the more magical. Yes, like showing the boxes are empty, or removing the skirt from the table at the last moment, to reveal that there's no gimmick under the table? There are lots of ways you could do this that would just make the trick feel even more magical.

As a fellow magician, I got it bro. Styll a great illusion nonetheless. 👏🏾 👏🏾 _Penn sure uses a lot of homophones, huh Antonio? Lol 😉_

Hola Antonio, la idea es buena, pero repetir tantas veces el mismo truco (con distintas cajas) hace que el público "adivine" cual es el truco. Incluso si no aciertan exactamente, eso da igual. Le quita la magia. Creo que tienes que trabajar en hacer el truco menos veces (obviamente haciendolo mas espectacular de otra forma). Creo que enviar la foto de vuelta desde la caja grande a la pequeña también mata un poco la ilusión. En fin, es un buen truco pero hay que diseñar un poco mejor como mostrarlo, felicidades :)

You also claim that showing the boxes empty is not important but it is. I know why you cant but without that people dont rate it as a trick. Its all about distancing yourself from the comments because keeping the correct Distance is really important.

I wasn't fooled. If you had only one portal with multiple objects that would be more impressive. But the fact that you kept bringing out pairs of boxes makes it pretty obvious. As to making the objects move: small magnets and switches under the table, or even connected strings... doesn't really matter could be done a number of ways. The sticker thing would be impressive if she had free choice of a UNIQUE sticker, or had free choice of where to out the sticker. Thw stickers were all exactly the same and you placed and drew on the sticker. As to the box being "empty": false walls. There's a reason you never showed the box as empty with the passport: too big for false walls. If not false walls then a trap under the table through a slit. Either way it wasn't an impressive trick. It needs to be worked on.
