MisMatch by Nick Diffatte
Experience the magic of MisMatch, a trick that continues to astonish long after the performance ends. This unique effect leaves a lasting impression, not just in your audience’s minds but also in their hands.
Start by tearing a match from a matchbook, then rip it in half. Watch as you magically restore it in reverse, placing the match head right in the middle of the stick. Yes, it’s truly there! You can even light the match or hand it to a friend to ignite. This remarkable object is something your audience can keep forever.
With your purchase of MisMatch, you’ll learn how to craft the match gimmick and master Nick’s straightforward street restoration technique, as demonstrated in the video. Additionally, you’ll discover a visually stunning match restoration originally performed by Tom Mullica, used to fix a broken cigarette (with permission). Plus, I’ll share a different visual method to make the torn match head leap back to the top, perfect for strolling magicians looking to perform this effect multiple times in one evening.
In short: it’s an impossible object that’s on fire! What more could you ask for?
