Let's put a pin in that
What makes a magic trick perfect? It's a subjective question, but there are certainly some factors that come to mind. Is it visual? How long is the reset? Can the props be examined? What are the angles?
For us, Kim Andersen's Shrapnel is as close as a trick can get to perfection.
Borrow a ring from a spectator and produce a normal safety pin. That's all the set up you need. Now, show how the ring and the safety pin can impossibly melt through each other. Perform this miracle as many times as you want before handing the ring and the pin out for examination. Out of your hands, the ring's magic fades and your spectator finds two ordinary objects.
It's a time-tested plot in magic, brought to new heights by precision cut gimmicks and world class tutelage. Shrapnel barely takes any space, so you'll be able to carry it with you wherever you go.
Treat yourself (and your audiences) to perfection.
