a pack of tic tacs, when you tip them all out, they spell the name of the card....

Great idea! I'll try and see if I can get that to work...

Thanks!

Although I haven't yet tried it I have been toying with the idea of having the force cards setup as described in Smoke but instead of cigarettes, using Parker pens with the ink cartridge taken out & replaced with the rolled up card.

I was going to get them to, after seeing the card is not present, draw the suit of the card to make sure they haven't made a mistake. The pen doesn't write & the card is taken out of the pen (possibly covered with ink markings).

I've taken to using the box for Vojo Energy Mints. I'm not sure if they're available in the UK - but they're excellent boxes.

the case is incredibly sturdy. It looks a little like a makeup case. It also has a nice little mirror on the inside of the lid - which can come in quite handy for other things.

My grand idea is to perform it in a coffee shop and reveal the card is inside a sugar sachet that was sitting next to my coffee the whole time. Switch as I pick it up and hand it to the spectator to open.

The sugar sachets in my favourite coffee shop are long and slender so can hold a rolled card easily.
