Merchant of Magic is proud to present the latest brain child of Jimmy Strange. Strongman is a new method for visually bending metal that is easy to do and super practical.

Metal bending is always best when it happens visually and slowly, it is undeniable. Still to this day, metal bending is one of the strongest most believable pieces of magic you can perform. There is something mesmerizing about watching cold hard steel bend and warp. It cannot be explained as sleight of hand or misdirection, it is more likely to be described as mind over matter or a supernatural phenomenon.. that's what makes it so powerful.Strongman by Jimmy Strange is a completely new concept in metal bending, a new type of gimmick that can be felt as solid yet can bend upon your command. No more needing to carry around extra props for impractical methods. Strongman can be used over and over again as it resets instantly and requires no set up, it is ready right out of the box.

With Strongman you will be able to show your spectators a solid nut and bolt, they can feel it and check it, it is solid, yet at any moment you can make the bolt bend as if it were made of rubber. You can even hold it and have your spectators rub the bolt and cause it to bend, they actually feel it melt with no effort whatsoever. It can then straighten back to its original state leaving your spectators dumbfounded and wondering if all they saw was actually real. Instantly the bolt is solid again, the spectators can feel this. All of this is done with NO SETUP AND NO SWITCHES.

You can use Strongman on its own but it is the perfect accompaniment to any metal bending routine.

Metal bending has a brand new string to its bow, here are what professionals all over the world are saying about Strongman:

"It is extremely rare that a new principle is created for magic, Jimmy has not only done this, but used it for an amazing effect. I will be carrying Strongman with me everywhere!"
- Marc Lavelle

"Offbeat, genius, and quality magic, created by a quality magician. Strongman is highly recommended"
- Kieron (Johnson) Lefever

"Since it's first prototype development, I've been performing Strongman at all my close-up gigs. I can't recommend this enough. That moment when the spectator bends the bolt with the tip of their finger is priceless.."
- Dominic Reyes

"Strongman is something truly magical, workable and mind blowing. Honestly felt childhood wonderment all over again, that doesn't happen often."
- Steve Rowe

"Let's look at it this way. You hand a nut and bolt out for examination. You then take it back and WITHOUT switching it you bend it.. You can then fix it and hand it back out again with NO switches! Read that again, no switches! It just doesn't get any better than this"
- Alan Rorrison

Well as usual with any new effect I do the "Wife Test".

Upon handing it back to her she immediately began using a twisting motion which causes some unusual movement to be felt. This then dislodged the special "something" which subsequently fell on the ground.

Also with the one I received it's too loose and is prone to falling out from time to time.

This could have been so much better but it's unusable in the real word as it doesn't stand up to any real scrutiny. Such a shame because if it actually was a bit better made it would definitely be something I'd use.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL TRICK, IT'S ONLT DOWNFALL IS THE GIMMICK IS HARD TO WORK, YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME FINGERNAILS TO DEPLOY THE GIMMICK. RESET IN 2 SEC. I'VE HAD GOOD REACTIONS, THEY NEVER FIGURE IT OUT, CAN BE GIVEN TO THE SPECTATOR BEFORE AND RIGHT AFTER THE TRICK. I'D SAY BUY IT AND IF YOU PRATICE, YOU'LL GET IT DOWN.

JUST TAKE YOUR TIME Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 19th, 2016
IT MAY TAKE MORE PRATICE THAN YOU WAN'T. THE GIMMIC CAN'T BE BROKEN. IT'S MADE VERY MUCH SO IT CAN NOT BE SEEN. SOME LONGER FINGERNAILS WILL HELP DEPLOY THE GIMMIC. AFTER THAT IT'S ALL SHOWMANSHIP,THE PATTER. THE PATTER IS THE TRICK, JUST HAVING A GREAT TRICK AND GAFF IS WORTH A LOT, BUT IT'S THE INNER ACTION WITH WHO YOU DOING THE TRICK. DON'T LET THE BAD REVIEWS STOP YOU FROM BUYING THIS.

poor material Report this review

poor quality, it seems obvious and not really examinable. If you are good at speech may be tou can try to cover it while speaking but i'll not using it. There is many better material in metal bending than this
