The Enigma by Paulino Gil and Luis De Matos

Enigma has been a feature of Paulino Gil's impromptu work for nearly 30 years. 

A wonderful close up effect in which a loop of string penetrates through the fingers again and again under increasingly impossible conditions. Enigma was one of the most talked about tricks at the Essential Magic Conference and is now released for the first time. 

The routine builds one impossibility on another as first one loop of string, then two strings and, finally, a chain, penetrate the fingers of the magician's hand. Easy to do. Always ready. 

Comes complete with instructional DVD and all the props.

"I’m intrigued with Enigma and appreciate the fresh new angle...Another aspect that I like is that the routine occurs in multiple phases, and at the end, you’re clean."  Wayne Kawamoto, Magic & Illusion 12/6/2011 Full Review

"This simple, powerful effect packs small and plays big...this is a most welcome addition to the close up performer’s arsenal."  James Sanden, MyLovelyAssistant 2/10/2012 Full Review
