This looks really good!!
A CHARM THAT CAN REVEAL ANY MESSAGE It took Hanson Chien and Yao three years in development and with the presentation and explanation by a rising-star magician of Taiwan - Sean Chou. Based on the "Omamori" in Japanese culture, it can reveal any message through the light. (BASIC EFFECT) By allowing the light to go through the Omamori, spectator’s message is emerged and revealed! You can allow a message to be changed, or even make it disappear. You decide what you want it to look like: A trick? Or a miracle? Omamori is easy-to-carry and can be attached on your bags or on a key chain. This Omamori will be the every magician’s must have! https://www.seomagic-usa.com/product_inf......_id/2438 Anyone got this? |

SEO always comes up with unique/creative stuff. I saw this but really couldn't tell what it was/did.

Thanks Nique, you are quickly becoming my favorite magic reviewer. Great job!
Normally a video which is cut at about every 8 words as yours are would really bother me, but yours don’t for some reason. 😃 I do like the opportunity this prop offers to weave an engaging story around this, and then with an unusual and unexpected reveal at the end. |

Great review, and I love the jokes! I am also interested to know how easy it is to get the message in.

Hi all,
Thanks for watching. My bad; I should’ve covered the ease of use as well as the angles on this. That’s what happens with a beginner reviewer - will remember these points if I do more in future. 🤗🤗🤗 I find the reveal with Omamori interesting by itself, and as such if I wanted a more direct method, I could just prep the unit beforehand and simply £0rce the info. With this approach there isn’t any work/loading required, but the compromise of course is that the freedom of choice suffers. Or you could use it as it was intended for real time info. Your angles are about as good as when using any NW, as there is a surface to “write” their choice involved (a small notepad or just an index card). You can either hand the Omamori out at the start for them to handle, take it back and then set it up as you set it aside (more fiddling) or simply have it already setup but you display it yourself and then set it aside without letting them handle it. To help you envision things, the sequence of events will be something like this: - display the Omamori, set it aside. - ask for the info (or gain it secretly, depending on your presentation), write it on an index card, set it on display (as per confabs etc). - pick up the Omamori, holding it up to the light. - “realising” it isn’t bright enough, request for their mobile phone light (work is done as the hands are brought together, takes maybe 2 - 3 seconds tops). - do your reveal. The work isn’t difficult, but will require some practice to get the knack down so that it can be done without looking. Once done, they can handle the unit. And of course, due to the size of the unit, the info revealed can only be so small; they won’t be reading an essay inside it. 😉 I really hope that helps. Again, my apologies for leaving any important info out in the review. ~ Nique

In this French shop video, you can see a lot more than in the trailer:

I finally pulled the trigger on this and am glad I did. This super cool prop deserves to be getting a lot more attention here on TMC.
Its extremely well made and deceptive, it reminds me of a well made precision coin gaff (except it is made of wood) and when you look at it like that it’s not expensive at all for what you receive. In fact, it’s probably underpriced IMO. Plus, you get an ungimmicked dupe if you want to switch it in or out. But the gaff itself is so well made that it can easily be handed out to let the specs handle it for a short time without fear of detection. Now I will warn that because of the way it works it seems like the prop could possibly be somewhat fragile so probably not great for table hopping and getting jammed into pockets constantly. But for friends and family or special tables it’s great. An excellent display case item or one of those things you leave around the house hoping a guest will ask about it. Since an Omamori is not well known in many parts of the world there’s a good chance your guests will ask about it too. You can not only make thought of words or numbers appear but you can also change a word or number into another one. I’m not sure if I will use the ability to of changing one number or word into another but when I’ve tried that in practice I have to admit that I have even amazed myself. I still don’t know how or why that works. Anyway, a fun prop you could create a good story around. I think people would be interested in hearing about this Japanese good luck charm. It’s very nicely packaged too. Perhaps the only other thing is I wish it had come with a small brocade bag to hold it in but not a big deal. |

I got it today, and it is very clever. This is for me the best product of 2020 so far.

This trick has mostly flown under the radar but I’m happy to see it catching on. It seems to be getting a wider release now too.
It is a very clever and well made gimmick. In case anyone is interested I bought one of these small bags for it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07XQXZLQ......in_title It is in no way necessary to have one, I just liked it. But I did have to very slightly modify it to fit. |

@videoman--those are gorgeous. And that is basically a real omamori, so it's great to know that it fits well! Do you think it would be possible to perform this with the bag over it, with some further modification? Because that would be perfect--and would remove any need for the stickers--if you could then remove the bag to show the plain inner charm just before the reveal...

Hmmm, not sure Seth, I would have to give that some thought and I am on a plane right now and distracted with other things.
But you know what they say, anything is possible! |
