What’s Going On:
You're pulling stuff out like you’ve got a portal to another dimension in your jacket. Every time the audience thinks you just dropped the last cigar into your hand — surprise! — here comes another one. You’ve got a stash hidden somewhere, and you’re sneaking out duplicates like a klepto magician with a rhythm problem.
Real-World Grift:
- Cigars: One goes in the left hand (not really), right hand loads another from your coat like you’re a human humidor.
- Eggs, balls, coins: Vanish one, reproduce another. Rinse, repeat. Like a bad dream you can’t wake up from — but for spectators, it’s amazement. For you, it’s sweaty palms and muscle memory.
What You Need to Know:
- Timing is everything. Get the rhythm wrong, and it all falls apart like a cheap tent.
- Works best when the audience is laser-focused on the “empty” hand — the other hand’s doing the crime.
- Chain it all together and you’ve got multiplying candles, coins, doves — whatever fits in your pockets and your conscience.
