The Breakthrough System

“Wonderfully clever!” Ben Seidman

“Genuinely the best borrowed can routine I’ve seen. So good on so many levels!” Cyril

“Real magic!" Dynamo

"Knowing Johannes, I expected something good, but not THIS good! TBS is one of the best things I’ve seen IN DECADES - the methods are beyond brilliant!" Gregory Wilson

The strongest magic is always when an effect happens right in the participant’s hands. When there’s no distance between them and the magic.

Meet “The Breakthrough System” by Johannes Mengel. This takes the classic can penetration plot and puts it on steroids.

Here’s what happens:

A soda can is borrowed. The tab is pulled off and clearly placed on the bottom of the can. You cover both ends and shake. Everyone hears the tab rattle against the aluminum. When you lift your hands, the tab is gone. It has penetrated the can and is now inside.

Then you proceed to break one of the cardinal rules of magic. You repeat the trick again. The tab goes on the bottom of the can, you shake it, and it penetrates the can.

For the final phase, you repeat the trick for a third time, except this time, it all happens in the participants' hands. They hold the can, they cover it with their hands, they shake it, everyone hears it, and the tab penetrates the can again! They can even remove the tab from inside of the can themselves!

You’ll learn over ten different versions, including multiple completely impromptu versions that you can do anywhere, anytime, just borrow an empty soda can, take the tab off, and you’re ready to go!

Breakthrough System Talk with Gregory Wilson & Johannes Mengel

“So clever, so devious- each phase is better than the next. This isn't just a quick trick - it's a full-fledged routine!” Dan White

“What Johannes has done is completely revolutionary in every sense of the word. Every method was like WOW, WOW, WOW - layer upon layer genius-level thinking. It’s really hard to get that kind of reaction from me, because I have seen so much magic. It’s very rare to be able to do magic that powerful anywhere, anytime with a borrowed item, which I can do for the rest of my life. I would have paid $500 to learn the whole system. This is one of the coolest, innovative, and practical pieces of street magic I’ve ever seen. Johannes Mengel is a creative genius.” Lloyd Barnes

“The best impromptu trick I’ve ever seen. I think this is going to become a neo-classic. This is going to be one of those tricks everyone recommends.” Craig Petty

“The Breakthrough System is the final word on this effect. Everyone else can stop thinking of methods for the can penetration. Johannes Mengel won." Mark Elsdon

For me, this was money well spent. It's something I'll use forever. The thinking is strong, and I've had a blast working with it. There's one phase where, after watching the explanation, I literally laughed - it's that smart. It's not difficult, but it will take practice to make it look as good as Johannes does. As always, he's taken a deep dive into the work. It's clear this is something he truly loves and reveres. Is it expensive? Maybe. But for me, this is important information I'll use for the rest of my life, and that has real value. Johannes clearly loves this routine, takes tremendous pride in it, and has spent countless hours refining it. He also has other excellent creations. Johannes is genuinely a good person. He loves magic, and his enthusiasm is infectious - like a kid sharing something he's excited about. I'm very happy with my investment. Anything Johannes releases will be on my radar, and I'll most likely buy it. Tim Trono

I tried the Breakthrough System out in the real world, and I can honestly say this is one of the greatest impromptu routines of all time. Johannes has put a ton of thought into this and it shows. Once you think the next phase can’t be better than the previous it is. What's great is the fact he has supplied so many methods you can pick and choose what phases you want to do. It’s like a Swiss Army knife. And some of the phases can be done in the participant’s hands. For them it really feels like they do everything. The best part of the system is that it’s totally universal. Any concert, any pub, the beach, the pool and anywhere in the world. You can literally walk up anywhere in the world, pick up a can and have something truly amazing in your hands. This gets my highest recommendation and then some. Joel Givens

"The Breakthrough System is one of the cleverest, most amazing uses of sleight of hand, spectator management, and just plain creativity, I have seen in a long time. I will definitely show this to David (Copperfield). You should be very proud of this. I really can’t get over how good it is." Chris Kenner

“I LOOOOOOVE THIS ROUTINE! absolutely brilliant…Instant classic! It’s a beautiful routine and a series of impromptu techniques every close-up magician should know. I loved your thinking on everything. It’s all brilliant thinking. I respect you highly and appreciate your contributions to the magic community.” Nicholas Lawrence

“A rare magical surprise that is beautiful and direct, using an everyday object that can be examined before, during, and after! What’s not to love about this? This is something I will use!” Michael Ammar

“One of the best magic tricks I’ve seen in decades!” Adam Wilber

"I recently bought a $175 product in this plot. I've seen them all. Nothing compares to the value and practicality of TBS. It's simply unmatched. To me, this is the final solid through solid product with a can!" Michael John
