Easy to perform.

Easy to make.

Limited only by your imagination.

My Thoughts:

This is different.. When I first watched the demo video I was sure it was simply black art. Cards are disappearing and reappearing against a dark background, and I've been around too long.

I'm not familiar with Ziv.. but he seems like a dedicated young man, willing to step out with a new method of performing old magic. He has, I assume, created this effect himself using something other than black art. Without giving away too much.. black art IS a factor in the vanishes.. but not actually the central point.

Playing cards, held in front of ones chest, vanish and reappear at the control of the magician. This is a very simple method, but not a common method. Something some might consider 'high tech' is used to facilitate the vanish. It's actually a product normally used for another purpose.. but is being repurposed to achieve the magic.
That's all I can tell you.. without giving away too much.

I have to admit, in all fairness to my readers, I have not performed ILLUSORY for a social media audience... which seems to be the target market. I did not perform this beforehand because I did not have the secret sauce. I AM familiar with the secret sauce.. and have no doubt that, under the right conditions, it WILL work. The 'stuff' needed for a successful performance can be purchased on sites like Amazon for around $17.00 for enough material to create a number of gimmicks... and the gimmicks can be used over and over. So, your initial purchase will last for a long time.

I'm confident enough in my knowledge of the secret material I was willing to go ahead and write the review. I have used this material for it's intended purpose, and I know it works as promised. That said... no promises in the world of magic.

The video is filmed on an iPhone. It is also filmed with sub-titles, with English being the language in print. Generally, I am not a fan of sub-titles, but the secret to this effect was revealed rather quickly and I didn't have a problem following the instructions.. which were just over 6 minutes. Truly, it's all about the secret. Handling and secondary instructions are clear watching the promo.

I think it's safe to say you're paying for a secret. Watch the video and see if it's for you.
