Buma has a new trick out called FingerTration. The borrowed bill is simply folded lengthwise, so I think (or at least hope) the method is different than Clear Thru, a similar effect. The demo looks impressive:

I agree. Impressive trailer. Looks like a great alternative method to pen through anything but with fingers

FingerTration
$25 US http://www.houseofmagic.com/index.php?ro......ct_id=79 Not only do you see the borrowed bill being penetrated, You hear it being penetrated ! Effect: The performer borrows a paper bill “currency” from any spectator and displays both sides of the bill, the performer then folds the bill in half lengthwise, this is held horizontally in the performer’s left hand with the now folded over section of the bill facing downwards, the performer then points upwards into the fold from underneath the bill with the index finger of their right hand, directly at the center of the bills open “middle”. The performer now partially inserts their right hands index finger into the bottom of the bills open center when suddenly they thrust their index finger right through the center of the bill, “in one side and out the other” the performer’s index finger is now actually seen to be emerging from atop the other side of the bill, its “outside” surface. The performer now lifts up the folded part of the bill to better show his index finger actually penetrating through the bill “in one side and out the other”. The performer then turns the penetrated bill vertically and visibly retracts his index finger completely out of the bill only to be seen visibly re-thrusting his extended index finger back into the vertical bill only this time through a different spot on the bill, the performer is now seen to visibly slide their penetrating index finger vertically up or down, right through the center of the bill when suddenly they are seen to pull their finger completely out of the bill. The performer immediately flattens and displays the bill to show there are in fact no rips, tears, holes or slits whats so ever, for the borrowed bill is unharmed, the performer then returns the bill back to the spectator in pristine condition.

I was going to buy it and take one for the team until you reminded me about Phantom. Yup, I'll wait for some reviews as well.

Just ordered it. According to Mark at Stevens Magic this utility gimmick can be used for a whole lot more than just the dollar bill trick. I will post a review when I receive it.

Question: Can a very dark skinned person do this with the gimmick supplied?

No, you would need to alter the gimmick. I bought this, not sure how I feel about it yet but some of that is due to my preferences. The instructions are written which I really don't like, I much prefer to learn by video which I find 1000% easier but that's just my preference and many people won't mind that. It feels less clever than I thought it would be but entirely useful. I can see how the gimmick would be useful for other things if you were clever. If you don't mind learning by reading them this is exactly as advertised. I'm 50/50 on whether I would buy this again but leaning towards yes.

I imagine the gimmick can be altered the same way a traditional TT can be tweaked for ones skin.

Yes it could be altered the same way.

Is the illusion as good as in the trailer and is this worth $25?

Would luv to hear more on this from anyone who has purchased it. My experience with Buma has been very hit and miss but this looks like a good quick bar trick

Just ordered this through Magic Box in the UK. The trailer was too good and I don't have Misled or Melt but I know it uses a similar principle.
Will post a review after I receive it tomorrow. |
