• My Take:

When I first saw the demo video of this, it really didn’t knock me out. Then I watched the instructional video and became a convert. The more I watched, the more convincing the illusion became.

There has been additional footage added to the video since it was originally shot. In the original version, the gimmick was ironed onto a T-shirt or Polo shirt. The new technique taught allows the gimmick to be removed and used on another shirt. As washing the shirt will actually fade the gimmick and a dryer can be its death, this is a great improvement.

There is some arts and crafts necessary but it is a simple procedure. You will also have to make a couple of additional purchases to get the effect into working condition. Once completed and applied, the actual working is very simple (and looks great). A small amount of sleight of hand is required but once again, the move is simple. Practice in a mirror and soon you will be fooling yourself.

Two  additional effects are taught, One, involving the appearance of a handkerchief, I just did not care for. In the other, a pack of Mentos is produced. This not looks great but it opens the door to your own imagination. The more creative among us will be making many sundry items appear from a drawing. This is going to be a good addition to any street magician’s arsenal.

I think this is going to appeal to the younger set as us older guys just don’t look that good in a T-shirt anymore. This subject is broached on the video saying that is why a shirt was not included with the effect. We come in all sizes and shapes and it will be up to you whether you feel good performing in the shirt necessary.

Conclusion: A fun effect that is easy to do, looks good and is a fooler.
