Re-Volution by Jimmy Strange allows you to cause a nut to spin itself free from an ordinary bolt (bolt and nut can even be BORROWED) WITHOUT touching it. Spectators love it. Smile (Which is why this type of effect continues to sell out multiple batches).

See for yourself how cool it is:

This type of effect is not new, but Jimmy Strange (creator of Strongman) has made some MAJOR improvements.
See how cool it is yourself:
* First, it is self-working, right out of the box
* Second, I love the "test condition feel" of using tweezers
* Third, is it SUPER reasonable...(over a hundered dollars less than prior versions)

Do your self a favor and check it out.

I’m really pleased to see Jimmy bring this to market, as he’s had this in development for almost a decade. Jimmy works at MoM, so we have watched the evolution of Re-volution as it happened. I road tested the first prototype almost 7 years ago, and since then have used it at hundreds of gigs. This is THE LAST WORD on the self winding nut and bolt. I can’t recommend it enough.

MoM have it on the site now with FREE worldwide shipping here: https://www.magicshop.co.uk/re-volution

Jimmy will field questions directly on the Café, but if you want to meet him in person and have a one2one tutorial on using Re-volution, including extra insider tips. Just drop us a line or pop into the shop.

Hope this helps

Right, because most folks just walk around with nuts and bolts in their pockets?
I like the implication of non-gimmicked objects, but that has to be some other way to emphasize it...


How does the bolt compare to the one in strongman? I'd be curious if you could routine them together, or if they're obviously different sizes.

Are you telling me you do not carry a nut n bolt around with you just in case someone wants to perform a magic nut n bolt trick on you? Jeez.

This can 100 % be done with the Strongman gimmick!

It does look good!
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

We all know how this gimmick works. My question is where is it hidden? My cheap version was self contained in a thumb xxx

I have three versions. All work differently. All make noise. How is the noise issue with this?

Hi, I've been using this for over a decade and I've never had an issue with noise when performing at my venues

I’ve been lucky to watch Mr Strange perform Re-Volution. There’s no doubt that this is my favourite method.
Pegasus this is much better than the method you mention bud, I think you will like this.

Eric, I’ve never noticed any issue with noise.

Best wishes,

Joel.

Sounds almost too good to be true... After spending over $140.00 for the Micro Physic Pro, this seems possibly better to use. I like the one I bought, the quality is great, but don't care for the noise it makes in quiet environments. For the price of this one, I had to pre-order. Hope it's as good as claimed.

You can buy Micro Physic on Wish.com for $3. I have 2 of them. They both work great. Noise has never been an issue.

Well, I don't think you'll get many volunteers if you ask to borrow a nut and/or bolt BUT...

How about presenting your audience with a bucket of nuts and bolts? The nuts could be on the bolts, they could be off the bolts, or there could even be one bucket of bolts and another bucket of nuts. Offer each bucket to either side of the audience. In fact, I guess you could even present them in their original hardware store boxes.

I'm assuming this presentation is feasible because the "bolt and nut can even be BORROWED".

If it's unlikely to literally be borrowed, then it seems strange to me to claim that. Sure, you could hand out a bucket of them, but that's like saying I can have a deck full of 3C's and let the spectator "freely choose any card" if the bucket is (expensively) filled with gimmicked props. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's something I've had (non-magician) friends watching magic accuse a performer of doing when, say, picking items out of a bag.

I also think your presentation sounds plausible - and mulling over it further, I think a better phrasing (or even routining) would be that you can give use the nut and bolt as a free giveaway, right after it self-tightening!

I took that to mean similar to when claims are made that you can perform a trick naked.
Nice as a buyer to know that you can, even though very few of us actually will.

You need at least one hand, and it should be big enough to hold a nut and bolt.
