3 Shoelaces by Quoc Tien Tran

Turn an everyday pair of shoelaces into a visual routine of surprising repeats with 3 Shoelaces by Quoc Tien Tran. The playful story begins with a “three for the price of two” promotion, then keeps changing as shoelaces are set aside—yet three remain.

Each repetition makes the effect more intriguing, building to an unexpected climax. The routine combines the effects of “Six-Card Repeat” and “The Professor’s Nightmare” in an unexpected everyday-object presentation.

• Visual, repeated magic: The effect grows more impressive with each repeat.
• Everyday props: Shoelaces give the routine a familiar, playful premise.
• Different sizes: The shoelaces represent baby, teen, and adult sizes.
• Examinable ending: The shoelaces can be checked, and everything is handed out for examination at the end.
• Included materials: The set includes the necessary shoelaces, an essential secret accessory, online video instructions, and two bonus routines by Quoc Tien Tran. “Converse” and “Two for the Price of One” are performance only, without explanations.

Described as easy to do, this routine gives you a lighthearted premise to build into a memorable close-up moment.
