Paul Gross over at Hocus Pocus is going to be carrying this.
Video demo clip here: http://www.hocus-pocus.com/magicshop/?product=11400 Zoran’s creation of The Lit Candles Mystery is a magic effect that brings the Passé Passé routine into the twenty first century! This effect is from his award winning act at the PCAM 2007 that brought him the gold medal for the Most Innovative/Novel Act. Getting inspired from the old Passé Passé Bottle routine, Zoran took a new path for this routine and created a quite different effect using lit candles instead of a bottle and a glass. Indeed “almost all magicians” know how Passé Passé bottle works and the limitations of that effect. Zoran’s Lit Candle Mystery completely overcomes those limitations and creates a brand new effect. To say it straight, performing this trick is a joy because it can be shown from many angles without any worries that its secrets may be exposed. An additional beauty of his creation is that lit candles are used making it a great visual effect on the stage. This is a stage trick but it can be performed as close as five feet from the audience with no worries. The Lit Candle Mystery is a combination of top notch effect, craftsmanship, design, mechanics, and quality materials used to build it. Zoran is giving a LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY on this prop. Its parts are manufactured from the highest grade aluminum, stainless steel, automotive paint; even fire retardant fabrics have been implemented on the inside of the tubes to assure maximum safety because real lit candles are being used. This trick comes in a sturdy aluminum case with custom cut foam padding that provides maximum protection for this prop. An instructional DVD is included as well as special candle refills to insure that you have enough for twenty performances once you’ve received your trick. The DVD even reveals how to make your own refills! Each trick is marked by a unique number. Crafting and manufacturing of this trick is a very rigorous process. For this reason Zoran’s intention is to release a very limited quantity of this trick on the market. “Zoran’s new creation of The Lit Candles Mystery is brilliant. Not only in the effect but, it’s clever design takes the old passé passé routine to a whole new level!” -- Shawn Farquhar, Two-Time IBM World Champion of Magic, Three-Time FISM Award Winner “One Mind Blowing Effect!” -- Paul Romhany, Professional Comedy Magician “Simply Incredible!” -- Tony Chris, Professional Magician and Magic Creator “I have never seen craftsmanship like this!” -- Matthew Johnson, Professional Magician and Magic Creator Please note that each Lit Candles Mystery is machined and handcrafted by Zoran himself, so please allow 4 weeks from the time of order to delivery.

Hello All,
I would like to add my two bits here. I was amazed when Zoran showed me his private treasure of a trick and it left me speechless. I was part of the production crew for the filming of his DVD for The Lit Candles Mystery and when he performed it for me on set, I was about 6 feet away from him. That's 6 feet away from a stage effect and when he was finished showing it to me and a few other magicians in the room, I was left without a clue. I did not figure it out at all and when filming began I was still clueless. Let me add that during the filming I simply did not want to know how it was done because it is one of the VERY FEW magic moments that I have witnessed in the last 10 years that left me without any explanation! It is not often that as magicians we are truly amazed and more importantly 100% fooled by a magic trick. This is one that left me and others in the room with our jaws dropped. The brainwork and development of this wonderful piece of magic is unparalled by anything else I have ever seen. The craftsmanship is simply beyond words. Zoran is a gentleman and an amazing inventor of magic. My hat is off to you Zoran, well done! Tony Chris
As magicians we create what onlookers call magic. If they truly believe in what we have created for them to witness then magic is real!!!

Just in case anyone is wondering whether that's a real flame on the candles at all times, Paul Gross assured me that it was.

Wow that looked completely impossible. The candles being lit adds a whole new element to the routine. Too much money for me though

Yes, the candles are really on fire.
I watched the effect from 6 feet away and was completely blown away. . . at the end when he showed both tubes completely empty . . . it looks completely impossible. . . it looks like real magic. Tim |

I too got to see this live in Tony's home. To say I was blown away would be an understatement!
Zoran was kind enough to show us the workings and I had to be picked up off the floor :o) I mean this is unbelievable stuff! While the price tag may be too high for most I personally believe it to be UNDER priced. Those that own this will own it for the rest of their lives and will probably pass it down to generations to come! Seriously....this should be in a museum. Cheers, MJ |

I just noticed this thread. I would like to say that I was so impressed with the effect and it's mechanic's that I had him repeat the routine not twice, but six times! My friend Juliana Chen dropped in and we got to see it two more times when she too shook her head.
Zoran has done a brilliant job of designing and building a really effective illusion. The addition of the candles being lit the entire time just took it over the top. I said it before and will say it again, he has taken the old passe passe bottle to a whole new level. Cheers, Shawn Farquhar |

For magicians who know how magic works and can appreciate the secret : great!
For real people who don't know how magic works, don't care how magic works, and just want to be entertained : Fill in the blank. |

Wonderful revisit to the Hoffmann and parlor conjuring ideas. Congrats. I bet you could use contrasty colored candles too.
...to all the coins I've dropped here

It's not normally the type of material that's normally interests me, but I have to say that I am very close to parting with my Credit Card in this instance, trully fantastic! Regards, Ziggy |

Not practical for close-up. But what a fantastic stage effect. I love it.
