Description:
CSI 2.0 – Coffee Shop Illusion by Lebanon Circle Magic
Get ready for the cleanest and most impossible ring vanish ever conceived.
A solid metal ring, securely fastened with a chain and a padlock, vanishes right before the audience’s eyes.
No sleight of hand, fully self-working, and a complete reinvention of the original classic effect.
Sixteen years ago, I released CSI – Coffee Shop Illusion : a pocket-sized miracle in which a real metal ring vanished into a cup of coffee. No switch tricks, no manipulation. It was my first and only foray into mainstream magic. It appeared on TV, was sold through all major dealers, and embraced by professional performers around the world.
Then came the knockoffs.
Less than nine months after its launch, CSI was copied by the Chinese market. They even pirated the entire DVD, complete with my email address and the cheerful message: “Stuur me gerust een bericht als je hulp nodig hebt!” . Hundreds of people did this. They had all bought fake versions that didn’t work, made from dubious and toxic materials. I had to pull the original product from sale to avoid being inundated with complaints about something I hadn’t made.
Fast forward to now.
A customer recently asked me to make the gimmick again. Another asked if he could buy the rights. But the real shocking news? The counterfeit version is still being sold, all these years later.
That reignited the fire. So I started all over again.
Introducing CSI 2.0 | A complete reinvention of the original.
This isn’t a reissue, but an upgrade for anyone who was ever disappointed by a fake version.
And that’s just the beginning.
CSI 2.0 offers, among other things:
–
Faster reset method, less setup, more performances
–
Reset multiple rings at once
–
Reset anywhere, even in your hotel room—ideal for traveling and event magicians
Whether you own the original CSI or a clone, CSI 2.0 replaces everything. It’s a fresh start with stronger, smarter materials that won’t let you down during a performance.
If you missed out on CSI the first time around, this is your chance to own a legendary effect. Well-made, with no risk of cheap knockoffs.
And best of all?
CSI 2.0 costs less than the knockoff version.
You get the original, greatly improved classic effect—for less than the failed imitation.
What’s included in the CSI 2.0 set:
–
Ring cast & reset kit. A complete, self-contained system for making and resetting rings
–
Materials for 3 rings, and enough to cast three full performance rings using the included sizes or optional custom molds
–
Necklace, used in the routine and also wearable as a symbol or for storytelling
–
Online video instructions and in-depth explanations covering the method, safety guidelines, multiple routines, and performance tips
In addition, you’ll receive digital access to three fantastic routines from the manual:
Through the Veil A dark, occult presentation. The ring is wrapped in colored symbols, lowered into a smoking cauldron, and disappears, only to return wet from “de andere kant van de sluier”.
The Houdini Teleportation A classic narrative effect about a ring that once belonged to Houdini. The ring is secured with zip ties. A modern take on his legendary chains, it is submerged in hot coffee—his favorite drink—before impossibly appearing in a sealed bag.
To Hell and Back Again A festive and devilish version for December. The ring becomes a symbol of Krampus, who drags it to hell and back before returning it.
Whether you’re rediscovering an old classic effect or experiencing it for the first time, CSI 2.0 is designed to let you perform professionally in no time with stunning results.
Belangrijk: Vanwege de aard van de gebruikte materialen is CSI 2.0 uitsluitend voor 18+. By purchasing and performing this effect, you agree to a mandatory safety statement.
