"Light year is unlike anything you’ve seen before. It’s as beautiful as it is baffling and a perfect example of Kyle’s incredible thinking." - Roddy McGhie

“A brilliant solution that hides the impossible in plain sight.“ - Apollo Robbins

“An enlightened revelation of a thought of number. Loved it!!!” - John Born

"Lightyear is absolutely stunning. Kyle is one of the best creators of magic in the business and his creations are always clever, workable and pack a huge punch. Well he has outdone himself this time. This is absolutely next level. Everything about this trick is perfect and not only that it’s really easy to do. Every few years a truly unique trick will be released to the community. This is one of those tricks. I predict everyone will be performing this. I have no idea how Kyle will top this one but if anyone can do it he will." - Craig Petty

“Lightyear is a perfect example of Kyle’s amazing creativity combined with hard work and experience to produce a strong and memorable effect.” - Karl Hein

"Kyle Purnell's Lightyear is not only a mind blowing and beautiful piece of intriguing magic but the method behind it is equally as devilish." - Patrick Redford

"This is really great! Kyle's obsession allowed him to crack the code for creating an amazing, unexpected alignment that reveals a surprising prediction through a very cool use of your phone. Everything is examinable, it has a nice presentational hook, and people are really fooled." - Michael Ammar

When Kyle Purnell wants to disintegrate the minds of magicians at any magic convention, he asks a simple question, “Name any two-digit number.” He then immediately displays that named number in holes that have been permanently drilled through solid acrylic plates. Just when the magicians think they have it figured out, he hands the plates out for examination, and then he watches their brains dissolve into madness. Lay people don’t even stand a chance. This closely guarded secret is now available for you to make your mark on the universe. This is Light Year by Kyle Purnell.

Here’s what happens:

The magician has a two-digit number secretly written down. Eight black acrylic tiles are introduced, each with holes randomly drilled all over their surface. The tiles are mixed and then shown to the spectator, who is asked to play a mental game of connect the dots, tracing their number over the holes with their eyes. The tiles are then fairly dealt into two piles and placed on a white phone screen or held up to the sky. When the tiles are squared, light shines through the only holes that align, and the light forms the image of the two-digit number the spectators were merely thinking of. The tiles can then be handed out, and no one is able to line the holes up to produce any other number.

The 2021 Penguin Magic Creator of the year, Kyle Purnell, has been working in secret to create a system to display any named two-digit number with light. This fries magicians and lay people alike. The tutorial explains the system in play to code the numbers into the tiles, and it’s shockingly easy to perform. There are no moving parts, no flaps, magnets, or extra tiles. There is nothing to switch or ditch. These precision-engineered gimmicks make this an absolute miracle. The method is something that would excite the engineers at NASA. The best part is that it’s immediately repeatable with a completely different number. You will never leave home without Light Year by Kyle Purnell.

5 stars just for doing something new and unique. You don’t see stuff like this often. I’ve been playing with it for a few days now I just know it’ll be something I’ll treasure. I love these effects that are not the typical “magic” trick. Kyle outdid himself here and you could tell. Down to the quality of the cards to how it’s thought out. The system put into place is very simple to learn and use. I still suggest practicing it like anything else but you’ll be performing this in no time with confidence. A++.

If it has Kyle’s name on it, it’s an instant purchase for me. So yes, I’m a bit biased, but WOW Light Year is incredible!! He has created a new genre to our community and it’s awesome. I just received it this morning in the mail. I will practice, practice, practice and then I can’t wait to get out, perform this and start frying minds! If you’re on the fence, get it now. Congrats Kyle Purnell on yet another incredible creation!!

Light year is excellent!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 15th, 2022
Your explanation and use the tiles was very enlightening and I mastered their use very quickly. However, I use them totally differently because I do memdeck work. They are excellent for memdeck work. It used to be that I would just tell people the number of where their card was now I we can Divine it using the tiles and I think that is fantastic !! I have already used it in my show and it kills, beautiful!!! Excellent work!! Thank you for this wonderful product!!!!!

very well thought out! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 7th, 2022
In my 47 yrs of magic,this has to be the most well thought out trick i have purchased! the video instructions are awesome and the tips at the end very good. the materials you receive will last 3 lifetimes so its a one time investment! it is different from anything else you perform,very unique! i thought there may be some serious memory work involved,but, i had the system down in 20 minutes!my only issue was with the way Kyle figures out their number,which i quickly solved with my nitro wallet peek device. well,well worth the price for the thinking and materials alone. i love it! went right into my performance case. feels so good to purchase something thats well worth every penny! thank you Kyle! this couldn't have been easy to produce! 10 stars!!!!

Intriguing, Different, Amazing, and Easy Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 11th, 2022
I’m honored to have gotten to see this in it’s early stages. The time and thought Kyle has put into this makes Light Year a true worker. I have been performing at restaurants, cocktail parties, and private parties for 20 years. I rarely add new routines to my setlist. If I do, it needs to meet certain criteria. It has to be an A-list effect, easy to reset, and repeatable. Light Year meets all of these and MORE! The routining has endless possibilities and isn’t like anything else on the market. I highly recommend real world worker!

its okay Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 19th, 2023
This is a neat trick but the people seeing it are not that impressed. They get that you can make any number even if they do not see you rotate it. Again it is a little overpriced for acrylic plates and the effect is not that great in real life. Wish I did not buy this one and I buy a lot of magic

Nice props and presentation Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 14th, 2023
I love this trick because it's different and something other than another card trick. The props are well made and look like they will last a lifetime of use. My only complaint is that I wish the explanation video went a tad bit slower and maybe should have repeated the method a couple of times. That being said, you can just watch the video over again too so not really an issue but mite of a suggestion for Kyle. If you are looking for something different and unique this is the trick to buy.
