PARADOJA - Michel

AVAILABLE AND IN STOCK NOW 

Paradoja (Paradox) noun.

A seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.

In Paradoja, the magician creates a square of matches. Each row side of the square is made of 10 matches. An audience member is invited to add another match wherever they choose. The magician then makes a few moves, seemingly taking matches from random piles and redistributing them. Even though one match was added, each side still only has 10. This can continuously be repeated. Each time, a different spectator freely places a match. The magician shuffles them around, and when counted, it seems that none have been added. 

To finish the routine, he reveals that all the missing matches have somehow teleported directly into the matchbox that has been sitting on the table the whole time.
