TINacious by Scott Alexander

Making a card appear in a tin of mints is the go-to ending of ambitious card for hundreds of magicians. Unfortunately, you always have to switch that card in right at the moment when the most heat is on the card. If you could really do magic you would open that tin, and the audience member would remove their own card. Their jaw would drop because there would be no switch. Everyone would gasp because they actually saw the tin empty before the card appeared in the tin. That is exactly what TINacious is.

TINacious is a specially gimmicked mint tin that has no flaps or magnets. Designed by Scott Alexander, this highly durable gimmick allows you to secretly load a signed playing card into a mint tin right under the audience’s nose. The best part is that when the mint tin is opened the card inside is actually their card. The audience can remove the card from the tin themselves. There is no switch to catch because no switch occurs.
