Miss Post-It
What You'll Be Able to Do
You'll learn how to build a custom gimmick using common Post-it notes that creates a visual moment of magic. This routine is designed for casual settings, letting you perform a surprising effect anytime you have a pad of paper handy.
How It's Structured
This lesson walks you through the entire process, starting with the original prototype and the thinking behind the gimmick. You'll see the performance first to understand the impact, followed by a step-by-step breakdown of how to build the necessary materials and how to handle them during your performance.
What's the Difficulty
This is an intermediate project. While the actual handling is straightforward, the primary challenge lies in the construction of the gimmick. You'll need a steady hand and some patience to get the setup right, but once it's built, the performance itself is very manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip around or should I watch in order?
Watch the performance first to see how it looks, then follow the tutorial in order. The construction phase is key to making the effect work.
How much practice do I need?
The construction takes the most time. Once the gimmick is built, you'll need a few practice sessions to get comfortable with the handling and timing.
Is there a way to check if I'm doing it right?
The best way to check is to compare your prototype against the video. If the movement feels smooth and the gimmick functions without catching, you're on the right track.
What if I get stuck on one part?
If the construction feels tricky, take a break and come back to it. The movement relies on the precision of your build, so don't rush the assembly.
