Mysterious Matchboxes Illusion — Plastic-Free Magic Kit — Age 9+

The psychology of suggestion — applied to three matchboxes. The Mysterious Matchboxes Illusion from Clockwork Soldier and MAGIC LAB is a double-illusion kit that bends perception rather than just misdirecting attention: the first illusion makes three stacked boxes feel lighter than one alone, the second makes coins vanish with no obvious explanation. Both effects are mind-bending, and both make complete sense once you understand the psychological principle behind them.

That understanding is what makes this kit different from a standard magic trick. Clockwork Soldier’s collaboration with the world-renowned MAGIC LAB brings professional-grade illusion design into a kit that a 9-year-old can build, learn and perform. The assembly is all slot-and-fold — no glue, no scissors, nothing that needs adult intervention — and the step-by-step instructions explain not just how to perform the illusions but why they work.

Built with genuine sustainability

The Mysterious Matchboxes Illusion is made from FSC-certified recycled card and is completely plastic-free. The kit is a proper Clockwork Soldier production: sustainably made, educationally considered, and designed to be performed rather than just assembled once and abandoned.
