Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

I think the phone case hides the gimmick. if using a specs phone, one would take extra care to hide it, but probably not a big deal. I'd rather just use my phone personally.

If this is as good as it looks, practical, and you are performing in the right environment, I would probably use this in the context of the old, oh wait I have one more thing I'd like to show you....

Mainly interested in this for a stage piece -- wondering if it could be used with a flashlight and/or illuminated lightbulb and not just the phone?

This type of magic would suit me I think.

Tobias has been performing this on gigs all the time as long as you are not under any spotlight or anything bright like the sun.
The restrictions are not as narrow as you may think.
Tobias performed it over and over again inside a las vegas casino where there are lights everywhere Smile

Well, technically everything we have released so far between the trailer and the photos shows you about 9 of the 12 different shadow effects.
For the other three, there is one that creates an amazing levitation effect, another one that is super funny and the last one is for a rock paper scissors type of effect.
There is something for everyone in this set and don't forget that the same gimmicks can have different performances like a very visual PK touches effect as an aexample.

Best regards,

Apparently nobody wants to for some odd reason. As if we can't figure out that "something" is going on behind there. Ordered regardless, but it'd be nice to know if it comes with a similar case or if one may want to order something roughly similar before it arrives.

Murphy's has it for $74.95


Yep.. That's the UK price, with fast worldwide shipping. The first 100 orders also get an extra bonus item included.

It also includes the full ONE YEAR no questions asked return option, so you can take 365 days to examine it, have a play.. think about it, and decide if you will use it or prefer to choose something else instead. ( This is in addition to the usual 30 days you legally have when you order items in the UK)

I like the idea, but I hate the idea of spending that much money for a gimmick and fixed animation. The gimmick isn't difficult to figure out since Moto Mods already make something similar, would just need it to add an additional L/S, but I would want the ability to have the effect follow me rather than me follow the fixed effect.

Does this return policy apply to all items in your shop? If so, I'd look at your site first rather than the likes of Vanishing and Penguin.

It can.. The shadow can move and actually interact with you.

I did not know what a Moto Mod was so searched for it. Is this what you mean: https://www.motorola.com/us/products/mot......rojector

I do not think that would create a convincing Silhouette-like illusion having a moving image projected from the side of a smartphone. And it costs $199.99.

Cool technology. Gets the mind thinking.

I think Dominic is very very fair , you get vouchers or credit from the store but never your cash back ( I maybe wrong on that though ) . Still it’s a great gesture and he is a very stand up guy with a great policy imo , Gaz 🙂

Fyi ......I believe Penguin magic is the only company that offers a cash back option.

I’ve ordered. Whatever this is I hope this stays underground and doesn’t get out in the American lexicon of what can be done with a gimmick. Things like TT, sticky bubbles, Magic apps and IT are exposed so easily and I hope this technology or gimmick isn’t readily known. So excited. Haven’t get this childlike wonder in awhile.

i'm tempted...
