This is an ultra visual transposition done in the spectators hands.


Effect:

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.

  • Video and Quality: The video is very well edited, put together and produced. It covers everything really indept; quality was great, no problems hearing or seeing what was being said or done.
  • Teaching: Dans leaves no rock unturned. His teaching is is taught with the upmost precision, very detailed; with all tips, tricks and subtleties. Very understandable and easy to follow along and superb.
  • Method: Ingenious, yet brilliant. Dan has put some creative thinking behind this effect.
  • Gimmick: Very clever. These gimmicks will last a long time, but if you lose your gimmick you can easily be able to easily obtain them.
  • Set-Up: These should only take a few seconds...once done you're set to peform.
  • Practicality: Very, all you need to do is carry these 2 mints and you have a mind-blowing effect.
  • Overall: The beauty of TickToides is also its simplicity, the magic happens in the spectator's hands. It's fun, eays and ultra cool.
  • I highly suggest picking up a copy, or at least checking it out.

Nice review. This looks very visual and practical.

Thanks for the comment and looking into my review CardClip.

These effect is very visual and very practical.

Very fun, easy and simple effect magic that also happens in the spectator's hands as well.

Is this similar to Digital Dissolve?

Hi JPMagic, I do not own Digital Dissolve so I can't say.

But I can say that they both have the same overall look; in this case the tic-tacs (copper) changing into the Altoids (silver).

Same overall look of the effect, but as stated before since I don't own DD I can't say about the similarities and method.

EDIT: In the video Dan does say that the gimmick works similar to a "Slippery Sam."
