I still want to know what alternatives we can do with this

Absolutely brilliant product.
Packaging, illustrated instructions and prop all extremely top shelf.
A very cool presentation here.
An excellent high quality gimmick that will certainly achieve real honest wonder.

So totally fitting that Jamie has made yet another really impossible object.

I learned that the name of the creator of Matchbox penetration is sadly lost to time.
Jamie D. Grant however is going to make some real history with this next level version.


A jaw dropping illusion the size of a card box.
Crazy heavy and so fun to do!

Order early, I suspect the demand will be very high.

I received my IR on Friday afternoon, and struggled quite a bit with the set up. For the record my physique is quite dissimilar to the retro-guy in Jamie's poster!

This evening I solved the problem. Now I can do it in seconds....I simply use a non-slip jar opener pad. The one I use around is a foot long rectangular piece with the name of a candidate from a long-forgotten election. Most of you probably have small circular ones lying in a kitchen drawer. Give it a try. Then you can focus on the presentation, instead of the set-up.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had a presentation for IR that could be used for a car manufacturer, I have a corporate gig coming up for Audi and was thinking this would be great to use. I was thinking of using it as a demonstration of how strong the steel is that they use to make the cars from or something along those lines but not sure what to use for the penetration, maybe one of their business cards.
Any ideas or presentation ideas would be great.
Thanks

Or just give a line something like "Other car brands owners might have a heart like this, easy to get tempted by any other brands" (penetrate the box by the key). "But we all believe Audi has enjoyed a lifetime loyalty, devotion, faith and bond from their customers, so their customers have a heart like this, won't be easy to get tempted by any other car brands" (try to push the car key, it won't).

Then let them have the "wow" or "omfg" reaction when you give them the block, box and the key.

Just my two cents

P.S. you can have two different sets of keys. For the first penetrating, use a car key with your handwriting of Audi brand or logo. Then when you do the final penetration, get different keys with your handwriting of different car brands.

Or, if you want, before you do the final penetration, get your Sharpie, and write big Audi name or logo on the box. Then do the final penetration using Honda, Ford, or any different brands you can have

I have been giving this some thought and think maybe I may use a presentation along the lines of an anti theft device. Show that when the owner has the key that it will fit in the ignition without a problem, but if it gets stolen by someone it will not go in.
What do you think.

That was cool, Erik! You have one heck of a deck switch! I have your melT ebook - just purchased it about a week ago - but apparently I haven't read ALL the way through it yet. Gotta get back to it soon now.

Thanks!

You'll might want to use tape inside the card box. The little pieces of paper that may come off from the slot might end up in the wrong places and reveal the method.
