the Transformer by Petrick & Mia

Transformer by Petrick & Mia (c. 1987)

A beautiful and elegant transposition effect from the legendary duo Petrick & Mia. Transformer allows you to magically and visually transfer a spectator’s ring from one box to another — with no sleight of hand and no external pulls or gimmicks. The ingenious construction of the boxes does all the work for you.

Effect:
Two colorful drawstring bags are shown, each containing a small box — one heart-shaped and one oval-shaped. The spectator freely selects one shape, for example, the heart box. They place their own ring inside the heart-shaped box and put it into its bag. The magician places the empty oval box into the other bag.

Holding the bags by the drawstrings, the magician makes a magical gesture.

• The spectator opens the heart box — their ring has vanished.
• The other spectator opens the oval box — the ring has appeared inside!

No difficult moves, no sleights, and no external gimmicks.
The method is self-contained and practically automatic, allowing you to focus on presentation and audience interaction.

• Includes 2 decorative boxes (heart & oval)
• Includes 2 colorful drawstring bags
• Ingenious, self-working method
• Perfect for close-up, parlor, and romantic routines
• Ideal for ring magic and audience participation

A charming, visual, and highly memorable miracle that feels truly magical to spectators.
