This is the first version of Do-Mini-O that Alan produced (the later version is here) and it is a simple and clean effect, but even here Alan shines with his attention to detail. There are three beautifully gimmicked dominoes and they have a locking mechanism for each change (so for white and the color change). Many manufacturers, if they added a lock at all, would provide one just for the final state. With two locks it means you can hand them to a spectator before and after the change should you desire, and you don’t have to worry if the wrong color will show when you first show them or retrieve them from you bag – they will always be set as you prepared them.
Also there is a very simple, but useful mnemonic built right into the numbers of the dominoes that means you will never forget which way to place the dominoes into the cover. You might think that these ideas are not that big a deal, but they make all the difference when you want to perform them, because you just don’t have to think about how the trick works, just how to make it entertaining.
Alan’s magic is filled with such elegantly simple ideas which is why his Mini-Magic has been so popular for almost fifty years.
