Your humble magic dealer still has vivid memories of his first major magic convention as a teenager, where Zig Zag Cig by Tenyo sat right at the very top of the wish list. It was purchased at the Topps Magic booth, where I also had the chance to meet my great idol, Leo Topp, for the very first time.
Soon afterwards, countless borrowed cigarettes were cut into three pieces — and magically restored again. A miniature illusion. A perfect combination of Japanese engineering and magic. A truly brilliant invention.
Now the classic returns in a new and more family-friendly form as Conjuring Crayon, created in collaboration between Tenyo, Theory11, Blake Vogt, and internet illusionist Zach King. This time the cigarette has been replaced with a crayon, but the visual magic is every bit as strong as it was back in the 1980s.
Show an ordinary crayon — then suddenly make it split into THREE separate pieces. Moments later, the pieces fuse back together again, and the crayon is completely restored and can even be examined!
The Trickstarters series was created to give anyone the chance to quickly learn astonishing magic tricks that look like something straight out of social media — but completely without CGI or camera tricks. If you know Zach King’s viral videos, you already know how impossible his illusions appear. With Trickstarters, you can now perform some of his favorite effects yourself for friends, family, or even directly on social media.
Each trick is taught by Zach King with clear and easy-to-follow instructions, allowing you to learn the effect within minutes and start performing almost immediately. Fun to learn, fun to perform — and perfect for both beginners and magic enthusiasts who love clever secrets.
