Magic so good, it will make you feel like a layperson again!
"It is the MOST magical moment I have felt in years.” Chris Ramsay
In the world of magic, it can sometimes feel like we’ve seen it all. Yet, there are certain magicians like FISM Award-Winner Mario Lopez that continually challenge us to rethink everything we know. His modern takes on all-time classics are more amazing and impossible than anything we’ve ever seen.
Mario’s latest conquest, “The Charming Chinese Challenge”, resulted in a beautiful work of magical art. This smart, compelling effect is like watching poetry in motion. It is as fooling as it is entertaining, and a real treat to perform.
“The Challenge” by Mario Lopez comes with premium props crafted by Card-Shark as well as detailed hour-long instructions that will teach you two amazing routines and a variety of ideas.
"I am the president of the Mario Lopez Fan Club. I love his work!” Kevin James
"Mario's ideas always go beyond the trick itself. It's not about whether or not the coin goes through the string. It's about the mix of sensations in each phase of the presentation. ‘The Challenge’ is a beautiful piece of magic, solved in an intelligent, visual, and entertaining way.” Luis Olmedo
This must be the trick of the year. I love the CCC plot and have been collecting ideas from different magicians, Troy Hooser, Shoot Ogawa, Ponta the Smith and now Mario Lopez. This is by far my favourite and the demo floored me. The tutorial is excellent, Mario really goes to a lot of trouble in this video to explain - and re-explain the moves. There are some really devious methods that he employs and there are a number of sleights which I have never seen before. This is my favourite trick that I have ever bought. The coins are fit for purpose and work fine. They are not the most beautiful coins but I believe they are made this way to facilitate the sleights. Its not an easy trick it will take a few hours just getting through the tutorial and getting all of the choreographic elements down. None of the sleights are particularly hard but if you want to do this well you will have to put in the time. Get this!!
