Definition & Meaning of "topit"

What is a "topit"?

A topit is a magic prop used to secretly vanish or switch small objects during a performance. It is a type of hidden pocket or pouch that is attached to the magician's clothing, typically on the inside of a coat or sleeve. The topit allows the magician to discreetly dispose of or replace items, such as coins, cards, or small props, without the audience noticing. The design of the topit enables smooth and seamless transitions, helping to create the illusion of objects disappearing or reappearing as part of the magician’s routine.
