Product description : Tired of all those card tricks ? Well, this may be for you ! How about being able to produce a red glow light inside your closed fist and being able to show it empty afterward ? But using it just like that may be a little bit akward, use it to enhance a transformation, a bending routine or something like that.
Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $60 and you can find it in nearly every Murphy's magic « partner » shop ! What you get : You get a small cardboard box with the gimmick inside, it's a gimmick most of us know but it was completely customised to be able to perform Magma. I do this lasting a long time and since it's USB rechargeable (the USB cable comes with it), no need to buy batteries ! I do like the gimmick, it's well made. You also get a link to watch the online instructions, they're really well shot and you get to learn everything about this little gimmick. I can imagine the time and the cost it was to develop this idea. Not disappointed by the gimmick at all. Teaser : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rj68XCwFys The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end. THE CONS : - My major con with it is that I don't think this is an effect by itself. And considering the size and the type of the gimmick, it's hard to use the hand in which the gimmick is. - Electronics can die prematurely, so you must be careful with the gimmick. - The color of the gimmick may not match for you, I don't think it's an issue because, like a TT, this should be invisible anyway. THE PROS : - It's rather easy to do, I was quite happy by the result when I first took it in my hand, it looks cool. - It's like smoke in your hands, this is the kind of effect you use to enhance something else. I've been very surprised by the reactions this gets ! People are not expecting at all that you will be producing a red glow of light in your hands. - I do think it will add something to your existing routine. Because, for a coin bend for example, there is no visual clue that something is happening. With the red light, people will maybe think your hand is getting hot or something like that, I really like the fact you can this as another step of the comprehension and the visual of an effect. - It's really well made and should last a long time. The USB cable which come with it didn't work but since the plug is an universal one, you should have a cable at home. - The light is quite strong, even in day light, you can still see the red coming out from your hand. I do think that it's better when the light is less strong, because you can really focus and see that the fingers are glowing. Overall rating : If you like what you see, that you don't mind having a gimmick in your hand, this is good ! It's not a bad product but not something I would use often, 3/4 hearts. As for the difficulty level, it's almost self working but you have to master a little bit the gimmick, shouldn't take that long, 2/5 stars. Similar products : Well, as for a glow of light in your hand, this is the first product I know which will allow you to do that ! You have plenty of smoke gimmicks out there if you want to combine light and smoke. Thanks to Murphy's for sending me this product !
