This is not a card routine. This is not a traditional coin routine. This is a whole different out-of-the-box effect…

and that’s what we like about it.

Four coins are borrowed

from a spectator and placed on top of a card case. The spectator is asked to choose a coin to use for the effect, and the other three coins are handed back, to be kept in their closed fist.



With their chosen coin sitting on top of the card box, the performer gently presses down, and with a rub, the coin has penetrated the cellophane of the box.

It is

now visibly trapped under plastic, unable to move!

With a wave of the hand over the box, the coin disappears from sight - having escaped the confines of the cellophane. The spectator is asked to open their hand, revealing their chosen coin has now

jumped to join the other three.

Building on a concept discovered by

David Williamson,

Justin Miller has created a routine that leaves audiences in stunned silence as they try to backtrack and solve what they’ve just seen.

This is Cell Break.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a trick using borrowed coins, but the method for the break is so clean it fooled me mid-performance. The setup takes almost no time, and the reset is just as fast.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The way the coins visibly break and then restore without any traditional sleight-of-hand is what sold me. I love that it uses borrowed coins, so there's no reset or tricky setup needed.

Natalie ★★★★★

Using four borrowed coins instead of gimmicked ones makes this feel totally impromptu, and the vanish genuinely fooled me the first time I watched it. The handling takes a bit of practice to get smooth, but once it clicks the reactions are worth it.
