CSI 2.0 - Coffee Shop Illusion by Lebanon Circle Magic
Prepare yourself for the cleanest, most impossible ring vanish ever devised.
A solid metal ring, securely chained and padlocked, vanishes in plain sight.
No sleights, a 100% self-working and complete reimagining of the original classic.
Sixteen years ago, I released CSI - Coffee Shop Illusion. It was a pocket-sized miracle where a solid, real metal ring vanished inside a cup of coffee - no switches, no sleight of hand. It was my first and only dip into mainstream magic. It hit the TV circuit, sold through every major dealer, and was embraced by working pros worldwide.
Then came the knock-offs.
Less than nine months after launch, CSI was cloned by the Chinese market. They even pirated the entire DVD, leaving my email address with a cheerful "Drop me a line if you need help!" Hundreds did. They had all bought bootlegs that didn't work, made from dodgy, toxic materials. I was forced to pull the original from sale to avoid being swamped with support requests for something I didn't make.
Fast forward to now.
A client recently asked me to remake the gimmick for him. Another asked about buying the rights. But the real kicker? The counterfeit version is still being sold today after all this time.
That lit a fire under me. So I went back to the drawing board.
Introducing CSI 2.0 - a complete reimagining of the original.
This isn't just a re-release - it's an upgrade for everyone who got burned buying the fake version.
And that's just the start. CSI 2.0 also includes:
If you missed CSI the first time, this is your chance to own a legendary effect - done right, without the risk of being burned by a cheap knock-off.
And the kicker?
CSI 2.0 retails for less than the counterfeit.
You get the original, vastly improved classic, for less than the botched imitation.
What's Included in the CSI 2.0 Package
Your CSI 2.0 kit contains everything you need to get started straight out of the box:
Through the Veil
A dark presentation inspired by occult practices. The ring is bound with color sigils, lowered into a smoking cauldron, and vanishes - only to return wet from the other side of the veil.
The Houdini Teleportation
A classic storytelling routine centered on a ring once owned by Houdini. The ring is bound with cable ties - a modern stand-in for his legendary chains - and immersed in hot coffee, his favorite drink, before impossibly reappearing in the sealed pouch.
To Hell and Back Again
A festive and infernal version for December performances. The ring becomes a token marked by the Krampus, who drags it to Hell and back before returning it.
Whether you're revisiting an old classic or discovering it for the first time, CSI 2.0 is designed to get you performing quickly-with professional results.
Important:
Due to the nature of the materials involved, CSI 2.0 is strictly 18+. By purchasing and performing it, you agree to a mandatory safety disclaimer.
