Minted by Craig Squires

Minted is my take on the classic Matchbox Penetration. 

Imagine showing a pack of Polos/Livesavers and explaining you are going to show a couple of puzzles. You introudce a long needle and piece of thread. You show the first puzzle where you place the needle and thread through the middle of the tube of mints, which isn't very puzzling as you could be going between two pieces, next you place the needle and thread down the center of the tube so that is comes out of the bottom, again not very puzziling as the mints are known for having a hole. Here comes the puzziling part, from the tube of mints you drop a solid brass block out onto the spectators hand. 

Key Points:

The solid brass block is fully examinble 

Use any wrappers you like

Use any solid items to pass through the wrappers like a wooden coffee stirrer, coctail straw etc
