Once in a while a release blows me away. This is a die that in real time shows a moving reflection that is different than the die itself - both in full view. This is a re-release in limited numbers of this type of effect available from SEO magic. It is called ILLUSORY REFLEX by Albert Tam. Mine arrived today. I find it beyond stunning and really a solid mind bender. It fools me while I am doing it. Angles very good to a point of not to worry at all. Construction is excellent. Small and easy to carry in a pocket. I am enamored with this one! Was around years ago and just saw it pop up. A very solid worker. Well made. Here's a video of it:

Someone else released this effect and it was much cheaper and did the exact same thing but I can't remember who released it. I thing this is very pricey for what you get. Of course, that is just my opinion. Though, I do think for a one on one performance the effect would be great! RNK

You can also hit the "notify me" link and enter your e-mail and they will let you know if it comes in. Like RNK I too remember an effect that is like this one but can not remember the name as well. I remember when I had a better memory---I think.
Good magic to all, Eric |

Does anyone know if there is any fundamental difference in this version compared to "Dice Illusion" by HT magic which was released a number of year ago?

Not sure about this one, ut Dice illusion is very angle sensitive. Only good for camera...

I'm hoping that the craftsmanship is better, on the really cheap ones you can get, the method is so badly done it looks like a kid did it,and very easily seen, also I'm thinking that perhaps the dots are machined differently to hide the method better, otherwise $60 is very steep for something you could knock up in a few minutes.
SEO state "Others may try to duplicate this idea and may even try to confuse the unsuspecting magician by copying our description and instructions, as if it were in fact the same product. However, if it's not "Illusory Reflex", it's just not the same." in what way is it not the same I wonder?, just not enough to spend 60 bucks without more info. |

The dice in the HT version were quite good, however the mirror was acrylic and scratched easily. Can someone confirm if the mirror with Illusory Reflex is made with glass?
Thanks, John |

I have had dice illusion for many years and even though the mirror did get scratched up, I didn't realize that it actually was a protective covering that when peeled off the mirror was spotless. But I never had any issues with it as long as you held it at a certain level....now I don't know if permission was given or sold off by the original creator of this effect but if not- isn't this a complete rip off of the original???
