Impromptu magic that feels all too real

Walk your audience through a routine that feels like playful experimentation, but in actuality is a choreographed deluge of unadulterated, joyous magic. Check out Joel Anthony's Magic in a Matchbox.

You introduce a matchbox and three washers--familiar items that might all get lost in the junk drawer--and you explain how even with these discarded possessions, you can perform miracles. 

Three washers go in the matchbox before it's closed. Two come out. The third has teleported to your hand. You repeat the process. Two washers go in. One comes out. Once again, you find yourself holding another washer! 

Can you reverse the process? Of course! You place one washer in the box and close it. You place two washers in your hand, but when you place them on the table, there's only one. Opening the box again, and two washers come out.  

Perform your finale in your spectator's hands. Place two washers in their hand, and place the third in your pocket. 

Three things happen. The washer vanishes from your pocket, it appears in their hands, and finally the previously empty matchbox is now full of matches!
