Crystal Prison by Flat Base & TCC Magic

🎩 The Main Effect
1️⃣ The magician introduces a prediction bag and two cubes
2️⃣ A spectator freely selects one cube, signs it, and scrambles it
3️⃣ Both cubes are placed into a paper bag
4️⃣ The magician removes the unscrambled cube
5️⃣ In the next moment—
👉 The paper bag is crushed flat
👉 The spectator’s signed, scrambled cube has completely vanished

The prediction bag is then opened to reveal a locked, transparent crystal box.
Inside the box sits the spectator’s signed, scrambled cube.

🔁 Alternative Presentation (Equally Devastating)
You may begin with a scrambled cube already locked inside the transparent box.
After the spectator’s cube vanishes, the box is opened—
the cube inside is revealed to be the very one they signed.

✨ Why Crystal Prison Is Different

🧊 True Close-Up Transparency

• Can be performed at very close range

• Props are largely inspectable after the effect

• Extremely high audience involvement and impact

🧼 Exceptionally Clean Ending
Many cube effects:

• Can’t be done in the hands

• Or leave you with “unclean” props at the end

👉 Crystal Prison solves both problems.

🧩 More Than a Transposition — It’s a System
Seamlessly flow into:

• Instant solve routines

• Pattern matching effects

• Prediction-based cube sequences
