Become the life of the party when you play the pitch-perfect happy birthday on wine glasses, bottles, cups, or anything you can lay your finger on! Become a master musician even if you couldn’t carry a tune when you perform SFX from Penguin Magic.

SFX is a tiny, easy-to-conceal device that features a high-quality speaker with pre-loaded sounds that give you the ability to turn any object into a glass harp. Playing a tune by running your finger around the rim of a wine glass is a classic party trick that some people have elevated to an art form by using multiple glasses to play complex melodies. SFX does all the work for you to get the perfect tone. Just synchronize your movements to the music ,and in no time you'll be ready to give an impromptu concert anytime, anywhere. The best part is that you don't need special glasses, since the device does all the work.

As a bonus, SFX can also perform an impromptu coin production and vanish with no coins required! Grab a cup, your SFX, and perform a quick audible illusion where they hear the coins appear, and then you make them vanish.

Audible illusions are crazy powerful and get incredible reactions. Turn the power of sound into your secret weapon with SFX by Penguin Magic.

Just received SFX today . Had already watched Erik's very clear and helpful tutorial. After just spending 20-30 minutes on timing etc, I was out performing this to people. I LOVE this way more than I thought I would. Fantastic product.

Happy Birthday Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 28th, 2025
I gotta say I love this. It makes me smile. It’s pretty much a gag but it’s a very magical gag. It’s pretty easy to get down with a just a little practice. The only problem is that there aren’t enough birthdays that I do to perform this (the song is “Happy Birthday to You”). But I guess I could just do it off hand anytime to show off my “skill” ringing out a tune on glasses.
There’s also a bonus one can use with Miser’s Dream that is very good too.

I purchased this with an idea that I had and it works great and fits into my comical style of Close-Up. I printed up some business cards with 3 funny singing glasses with eyes and mouths that definitely look like they are singing and old style microphones. After performing I give the card to my spectator as it has my contact information on the back. Outstanding product!

Just received today & I love it. I need to practice to get my timing down, but this is soo easy. If you do birthday parties, then you have to have this. It’s not really magic, but soo cool. You will use this onr.

That's it?? HBD I guess... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 23rd, 2025
Honestly this is just a budget version of Equalizer by Joao Miranda - and I don't even like the guy. I think his products aren't good and anytime I hear him say he's built something from scratch I'm staying away because I think he got the parts from a scrapyard.

Anyways, the gimmick is bulky, and I'm not alone in asking if it could have simply been a speaker that attached to your sleeves like cuff-links - alas, its literally a block you have to palm.

Yes the line between what's a gag or a beautiful art piece is somewhat blurred in this scenario, but I'd like it if we could have more OPEN hands while playing HBD. I understand you just need your fingertips to play but we should be perfectionists at this point in our industry.

PITATA's smoke wristrap is magnetically activated and we could have done something similar and been even more successful as a gimmick. Oh well.
