Maxello Magic

The original Phantom Cigarette is one of the classics of magic. In the original effect, performer pantomimes rolling a cigarette, and places the invisible cigarette between his lips. He removes a match box, strikes a match and lights the invisible cigarette. When the cupped hands with the match are drawn away, a real lit cigarette is seen to have materialized.

In this new version of the effect, we have completely eliminated the visible match box. This makes for a much cleaner and more magical effect. In this version, performer reaches under his coat, and produces a single lit match at his finger tips. He lights an invisible cigarette between his lips with this match, cupping his hands over his lips for an instant as one would normally do to light a cigarette. When the hands are moved away a real lit cigarette is seen to have materialized. We supply the required gimmicks, and detailed instructions, which make this easy to perform.
