I would love to get a detailed review of Dazzling Magic's, "Square Circle Supreme". If anyone has this prop could you please post a review, or at least list some pros and cons?

Thanks!

Going by the ad the Square Circle Supreme is a nice effect taken to the next level by eliminating the second cylinder. As I guess, it seems that the cylinder is basically a Ph****m T**e & hence can be shown completely empty. Also making intelligent use of black velvet for black art is a very good idea.

This version has all the advantages. I can't see any con's except that the quantum of load will be less in the Supreme version (but obvious) as compared to the older version.

Yes, I do envisage one problem though - As per the ad : "The cylinder measures 11 1/2 inches high by 6 inches in diameter. The outer square tube is 11 inches high . . ."
The cylinder is 1/2 an inch taller than the outer square tube which means that when the load is being removed from the cylinder the hands can be seen picking the load from the periphery of the ph****m t**e and not from the middle of the cylinder. However the designer must have had good reasons to keep the cylinder taller than the outer square tube.

You're misreading the ad. It is a square circle, not a phantom tube.

What makes you think there is no second cylinder, I didn't get that from the add at all, just a difference in the outer tube, it being hinged to allow a wide open display..nothing radical there ,just new design

Ooops! I meant a GHOST TUBE & not a Phantom Tube.

I'm sorry.



I get the idea thru the ad (reading between the lines) that it uses only one cylinder (i.e. a Ghost Tube).

The ad reads:-

"The inner cylinder is gleaming red, with silver bands. The interior is covered with black velvet, giving you an extremely deceptive black art effect".

Incase it was the good old Square & circle with two cylinders; there was no reason to mention that the cylinder's INTERIOR is covered with black velvet, thus giving an extremely deceptive black art effect.

:xmas:

Please amend the last para of my above post:-

For:-

Incase it was the good old Square & circle with two cylinders; there was no reason to mention that the cylinder's INTERIOR is covered with black velvet, thus giving an extremely deceptive black art effect.

Read:-

Incase it was the good old Square & circle with two cylinders; there was no reason to mention that the cylinder's INTERIOR is covered with black velvet, thus giving an extremely deceptive black art effect. Thus when you show the Ghost tube to the spectators as an empty hollow cylinder, the black art provides a visual illusion that the hollow cylinder diameter is the same at both ends.

Thanks.



P.S. Incase the above assumption is wrong, then in that case, an improved version of the Square & Circle has been innovated.

The audiences’ perspective also helps out with the size difference.

You're still misreading it. It doesn't say that "the cylinder's INTERIOR is covered with black velvet". It says "The interior is covered with black velvet". Since that follows immediately after a sentence about the inner cylinder it's understandable that you may think it's still talking about the inner cylinder, but it's the interior the square outer tube.

Duplicate post.

May be I am wrong! Then . . .

Thanks for the responses. I was hoping that someone who owned this could give me some insight. I also need to know some measurements.

Regan,

You may wish to call Marty Hahne at Dazzling magic. He is great to work with and will treat you right.
