FISM Grand Prix Champion Eric Chien and TCC have joined forces to present the ultimate solution for a signed coin through glass.

Penetrating a coin through a solid glass is one of the most popular effects in all of magic. And, it’s not difficult to see why. This effect is simple, straightforward and creates an impression on your audience that will last a lifetime.

There have been countless versions and methods produced to achieve this effect over the years. However, none have truly revolutionized the concept like “Portal”.

Before you read any further, scroll back up and watch the video trailer. You’ll see exactly what we’re talking about. TCC and Eric Chien have truly made the impossible possible. It’s like real magic.

Every detail of “Portal” has been carefully examined, re-designed and optimized countless times to bring this concept to life. More than 40 different components have come together to create the incredible “Portal” pad. Yet, while it might seem complicated, careful consideration has been given to every detail to ensure smooth, reliable and easy operation.

As an added benefit, the deceptive construction of the pad, and the way the mechanism is hidden, allows you to use "Portal" as a close-up pad too.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

  • No switches are needed as the same coin is used from start to finish
  • You’ll get two methods for controlling the action: physical buttons on the sides of the pad and a remote control for a hands-off version
  • The powerful 1800mAH lithium battery provides upwards of 75-100 performances when fully charged
  • Magnetic charging port and convenient power indicator ensure you’ll never be surprised by a dead battery
  • Elegant rosewood frame and covert surface allow you to use “Portal” as a close-up pad
  • Dimensions: 42cm x 28cm x 2.8cm (16.5in x 11in x 1in)

What’s Included:

  • “Portal” close-up pad
  • Remote control
  • Charging cable
  • Large glass
  • Small glass

Please Read Before Purchasing

Vanishing Inc. is committed to being honest and transparent with all our products. So, we’d like to share a few important notes before purchasing.

“Portal” is designed to use coins up to 33mm (~1.5in) in diameter. For reference, the US Quarter is about 24mm and a Kennedy Half Dollar is about 31mm. However, a half dollar coin is not only close to the max size but is also heavier than many other coins. As such, its "bounce speed" is slower than other small coins. So, TCC does recommend using smaller coins. It’s also important to remember that, since the strength of this routine comes from borrowing the coin, it’s unlikely you’d be using coins that aren’t in regular circulation.

Extreme consideration has also been given to concealing “Portals” mechanism in a way that makes it as quiet as possible. However, due to internal space constraints, you will be able to hear it in a dead silent environment. This may be concerning to those who hear it when practicing alone. However, in a regular performance environment with any type of ambient noise (even just your patter), the sound will be unheard. “Portal” can, and should, be performed close up.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

We also know this is a substantial investment. Both Vanishing Inc. and TCC pride themselves on their quality control standards. If, for any reason, you find that your “Portal” is not working the way you’d expect, please contact our support wizards at [email protected] immediately to get it resolved.

Customer reviews for Portal by TCC

Jonathan
bad ass and very well made. I love it.
Barry
The penetration illusion is beautiful. Playing some dramatic theme music on my iPhone helps cover the noise when the coin “vanishes.” Given the size and solidity of the pad and the need to set up out of sight this is not something that you can spontaneously include in a casual coin routine, but given the right conditions the effect kills.
Prithpal
I gave PORTAL ‘good’ and not ‘excellent’ in the review section ONLY because the mechanism is LOUD and as a result not good for close up. Not sure how Eric Chien performs it close up on the TV show without any suspicion? Maybe the studio music is very loud?
As an effect it is quite simply, beautiful! Will need to think how to incorporate it for something live and somehow find a way to combat the sound
