Description
This one is quite straightforward, as this is all a geometry/hidden cube trick. There is one cube (the yellow one in my example) that actually contains an smaller one within. So, in the first drop, while showing that it is indeed a normal tube, you just need to pinch the tube slightly to keep the cover within the tube. Then, just place the cubes in order and pinch again the upper one when removing the cover. I'm not a great performer, but this other professional magician is :)
The cubes can be printed together and the color covers should be glued carefully to avoid them from standing out. Tolerances are in place, but just sand the sides a bit if needed. The tube is as thin as possible and it works well in the current configuration, but it took me a while to achieve that while keeping the Mario bricks visible :) It is tall, however (24cm) so it won't fit the A1 mini. In theory it could be cut and glued together, but I'm not really confident this would withstand the pressure later.
This is the final trick in my Mario-themed series, so please make sure to check the others if you like this one. Enjoy!
