The only thing that looked like something you can't pick up at normal store is that little device on his finger in the beggining. I think it is a stamp, but I am not sure what it stamps on there hands. I couldn't tell by the promo. Could anybody else make out the image? It might have actually been a small scorpion?

There's the breakdown of what comes with it. Quite a few items that can't be had in stores. I haven't bought this, and doubt if I will, but based on a few items, I'd say that the current promo price of $115 is pretty good actually. Kevin

I got my kit today. Ive been practicing and messing around with it for several hours. Honestly, I opened at and thought to myself... Why oh why did I buy it? Well, ask for it for Xmas... In any case. I proved myself wrong after I read the effect Vains. Where a glass beaker is displayed holding a chemical that makes blood show up when exposed to ultraviolet lighting...(luminal for presentational reasons) You have the spectator think of a card. And you carefully open the beaken, and visibly swallow all of its contents. After a moment of digestion you ask the spectator for the light and shine it onto your arm. All your vains are RADIENT! you slowly go up your arm. your vains becoming thicker, untill you see them form into the suit and number. IN BLOOD! Its very awsome. I performed it for family who were all a little disturbed...
Now heres a breakdown of the kit... Scorpion 2-VOLUME DOUBLE DVD SET "The 3+ hour double volume set is critical to learning Scorpion properly." I watched both discs today... The performance DVD was very entertaining. It shows both Chris Shcu (cant spell last name) And Justin Miller performing in there favorite spots out on the street, strolling style. They perform most of the material that is written in the book and on the learning dvd. The learning section of the second disc teaches all the effects just as they should be. How to get in and out with your super sharpie, stuff like that. It is not NECISARY. but very helpful. Scorpion Down-N-Dirty Guide "Descriptions of applications, techniques and tricks AND how to get the most out of your Scorpion System." You do need this. It teaches some tricks, and how to operate all aspects of the kit, presentational ideas. and real life facts about the blacklight and materials included. Scorpion UV Light "Without a UV Pocket Light, there is no Scorpion System. Critical." A compact little keychain light. That shines VERY brightly, and you can carry around with out really noticing! UV Invisible Marker "A must-have, and you can do a lot with just this pen and the pocket light above." This is cool. It allows you to write anything anywhere and it wont be seen, But when exposed to a blacklight. It glows vivorously. this is NOT the cheap kind, its more like the Security Marker kind that they use on checks and stuff. Scorpion Pro Stamper "An ultra-quality stamper remains hidden at all times and fits in perfect fingerpalm position. Allows you to instantly stamp any object with UV ink." Exactly what it says. It stamps the Eight of Diamonds onto anything, anytime. Peoples hands, whatever! They wont feel it either Scorpion Super Sharpie "We'll show you how to use this tool to receive some of the biggest reactions you've ever seen - easily." The super sharpie. You take out a sharpie, take off the cap. Have the spectator sign whatever. And your done, there mark shows up plain as day. but yours is totaly invisible! Because the cap of the pen secretly operates like a swami gimmick with UV ink so you can tag whatever with out anyone noticing. Right after they hand you the card, bill, business card, menu, whatever they initialed. Scorpion Stencil "A strong, thin plastic stencil sheet allows arm tattoo "reveals" in invisible ink." Pre drawn stuff, to make it easier for you! Test Tubes w/Caps (Pack of 5) "Unbreakable test-tubes to carry arround the Fuel you need for strong magic." Real plexi glass test tubes. Perfect for filling with "luminal" FUEL Invisible Ink by Ellusionist "Fuel is Ellusionist's perfect brand of invisible ink (will last a long time)." Paint this stuff wherever you want for stunning mentalism reveals. Wiregram 1: ET "THIS IS THE ONE WIREGRAM ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE SCORPION FULL AND LITE KIT." For those who use wiregrams, you already know how awsome they are. These just depict symbols that you force on a spectator mentaly or physicaly. Shaman Cards (pack of 7 cards) "Brilliant forcing cards (completely different from normal forcing cards) included with the kit. Someone thinks of a number between 1-100 and winds up exactly where you want them." It uses a principle EVERYONE knows. But for some reason, with these cards. It seems TOTALY random to people? I have no idea why. They seem risky to me... |

Let's face it ellusionist knows their demographic and markets to this group like a fine violinist. At times they even speak in Market-eze. No reason to be upset by it, If I had a bunch of tricks and gimmicks that would be either difficult or unprofitable to sell individually, I'd bundle them into a "kit" and market the bejebies out of it too. Them full page ads cost money!
I must live in the wrong part of America (flyover country) as I have never seen but one street magician in our area and he was pretty much dropping the jaws of the crowd doing the same stuff as most of the rest of us, un-Xtreme boring magicians do. The only thing X-treme in Minnesota is our weather. Oh well, it does keep the riff raft out. Glad to hear the ellusionst has its own fourm where true believers can hang out, as for the Café - they are as much a part of the magic scene as the hard core card folks, bizarre magic, gambling, hypnosis, flourishers, and all the other kindred arts. I am happy they are all here - it is a great barometer with which to measure the magic scene. Like it or not, Magic is a big tent. I would, however, like to see some of the "older" street magicians come back to their fourm and post - I sometimes think they have all been pushed away by the followers of Blaine and Angel. I would in the past often grammarize this forum - punctuation "sucked" but content was stellar. Frank Tougas

Nice post frank! Im new to these forums so have know idea what your talking about! Anyway talking to some people here really inspired me almost a year ago to really study bizzare magick. And this place turned me to the darker side. Now I'm walking around half the time with out a pulse in my left wrist! Thanks a lot guys...

Thanks. I did the heart (pulse) stop only one time. She was a nurse. It scared her so bad I never did it again. The only other time I had that type of reaction was doing the Balducci levitation from a nice immigrant from Africa (Can't remember which country). Now I walk the funny side of the magic line.

Just curious about what ellusionist expects out of its customers with this kit...Are you supposed to hide the UV light or show it? I mean, you would figure with CSI fans running around people would get that it's UV and ink...right?

You are supposed to show the UV light. It is not supposed to be hidden. Personally, one or two effects would be good to use. Any more would make it seem like the light is gimmicked.
But there are two great effects that come to mind with the stamper and the super sharpie. I may just buy the super sharpie and UV light becuase the secret writing is made even more sectretive |

Magic2253711 New user Wisconsin 82 Posts |
I bought this and it is awsome. youd think that this would just be your everyday street effect that gets the same reactions of all your others. NO! Just like on the promo. IT TRULY DOES FREAK PEOPLE OUT. if you buy it you have to go to the forums it packed with AWSOME ideas. THE KIT IS AWSOME comes with TONS of STUFF with a lot of effects which all freak people out. THIS IS A MUST BUY. buy it while its still at the "Low PRice" (for E llusionist that's a low price) Get one of the first 500 before they sell out. I do this thing where I bought another light that's not uv but looks just like the uv light and I switch them in and out so I can make writting appear and disapear. THIS IS SUCH A REPUTATION MAKER. E llusionist has done it once again. I LOVE it and am not disapointed with it. IF anybody has any questions to ask before they buy it feel free to ask or just PM me. Thanks.

I too have the scorpion now and it is just wonderful. The Haunted Washington trick or whatever really gets people. Same with Veins. I'm going back to school Monday where there are about 150-160 people who are old enough to do magic for (I'm in a private school). So if anyone has questions I'd also be willing to answer them, but if you want answers based on experience you might want to wait until Monday evening.

Honestly I will say that it is totaly worth the money right now while you can get the low price for the first 500 sold. But when they go to $180 or whatever after the 500 sell out, I wouldnt get it for that price. IT IS A REALLY COOL KIT. I use all the stuff in the kit believe it or not. the first kit I have where everything that comes with it is actually good for practical use. I say get it right now, even if you buy the lite kit you can always buy the super sharpie and stamper later. hope this helps.
