CSI 2.0 – Coffee Shop Illusion by Lebanon Circle Magic
The ultimate evolution of a modern classic.
The cleanest, most impossible ring vanish ever created. A solid metal ring is secured by a chain and padlock vanishes right before your spectators’ eyes.
No sleight of hand. No switches. 100% self-working.
Sixteen years ago, the original CSI (Coffee Shop Illusion) took the magic world by storm. It became a global hit, featured on TV, and performed by pros everywhere. Then came the counterfeits, cheap, toxic, and unusable copies that forced the creator to retire the effect.
Now, the real creator is back. And he’s rebuilt CSI from the ground up.
Introducing CSI 2.0 – The Coffee Shop Illusion, Reinvented.
This is not a re-release—it’s a complete redesign: stronger, smarter, and built for professional use. Perfect for working magicians, creators, and collectors alike.

It’s alright…. Mine came, and didn’t work like video.
It’s “OK”. It feels it’s been a rushed project by Vanishing Inc.
Box came, you open it and look at the prop. Mine had scuffs and loose metal particals all over it, the screwdriver had been bashing around the box.
Watched the whole video, which doesn’t show you much. And then put it together. Tried it, nope. And again, and again. It didn’t work. Even with slight twakjng. Due to liking a project to work on, I took parts of it apart, and have made it work for 90% of the trick. The bit where the card is, doesn’t lay flat and is not great.
Overall, disappointing for £90 and which I didn’t buy ngl.
I really love visual magic, and this is great fun! Not had a chance to test it on an audience yet, but looking forward to when I do!
Great, super speedy delivery too from Alex! Cheers!
