I like Optix! It’s really well made and will last a long time. Also, it’s a fun routine to do. Perfectly scripted and directed. I don’t think it will get people screaming and shouting but that’s not what we always want. Another interesting part is by the end, they have a video of You performing on their phone which they can show/share around. Helps that way as well.
Thanks TD. 😀 |

OMG this is just fabulous! I received this just this morning, and for those of you who are wondering about it...
The answer is NO. It is NOT "Easy To Do". This is in NO WAY a self-worker. It will require quite a lot of practice to get it as smooth as Tobias does it. But I have to say: it is a LONG TIME since I have encountered a trick that I want to practice so much. It s well within the reach of any magician who is prepared to put in the time, and I would plead and beg everyone who has it to do exactly that. Please son't screw it up fo the rest of us by presenting this poorly-rehearsed! Trick of the decade already! |

After all these excellent reviews I may actually open up one of my Optix’s and see what all the fuss is about!

Well after purchasing this yesterday and watching the video explanations, Optix is as good as the reviews have said. Ross W is correct when he says this will require some practice. That being said, if you are a decently competent magician, you can learn this. The switching technique is better than I imagined and is not nearly as hard as I feared. Those who own or know-how "Now You See It-Now You Don't" works will feel right at home with this method of vanishing the gimmick. It is wicked clean and simple to show both sides of your hands empty right after the light vanishes. The videos go over all the options to Optix competently.
I look forward to working this up. I am thinking this will play BIG!

Please let us know when you performed it a couple times, Kallix! Looking forward to hear how the reactions are.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Maybe Facebook is broken then because it is telling me my request is still pending?

Hey all. I am waiting on acceptance in the Facebook group. I am attempting to change out/replace the simplest part of the gimmick as shown by Tobias, but am having some issues. Absolutely have blown some minds with this, not part of my set; but sure is fun to do at parties or just hanging out! I am ready to get this back into play!

Well, my initial wild enthusiasm soon diminished! Like most of us, I have had extra practice time lately....
Yes, I've joined the Facebook group, and no - I am not going to modify my unit with the risk of ruining it, to make it work. The problem is the light. It is pretty much impossible to handle it consistently. THis will probably be fixed in Optic 2.0. Unhappy |

Hi Ross W,
If I understand the main problem regarding this effect, it's not a substantial change (a piece of plastic and black electric tape - and it's not permanent. You can remove it whenever you want and you don't risk to ruin the gimmick). after a few hours of practice I too began to feel the difficulty in keeping the light on/off at the "right time". Let's say I "extended" and made the switch more "sensitive"... and the handling is much improved. for details, you can write me a pm. best marco |

Mine works perfectly. I don’t have to do anything to the unit. Took some practice but no issues.

The ellusionist website says that the gimmick has been updated. Is this a newer version of the gimmick?

I have the same question! Is this Optix 2.0 with this issue fixed?

My understanding from Ellusionist is that the button is improved. I have not seen a picture and I don’t own it.
