"This guy can fill a stage with a single rose. He was able to captivate us with... a Hot Rod. Combining both hands, his technique is absolutely awesome and flawless!"
- Rocco Silano

"I never would have thought a hot rod routine could look so magical."
- David Penn

"Absolutely Fantastic. That Multi-colored stick has just gone from junk drawer to headliner!"
- David McCreary

"Eric Stevens has taken the Hot Rod from a minor mystery to a fully thought out, magically stunning, and commercially entertaining piece of visual wizardry!"
- Scott Alexander

You might think you know the classic Hot Rod effect, but we guarantee you've never seen it like this. Eric Stevens has taken a simple commonly overlooked prop and turned it into a powerhouse of a routine that's causing a huge buzz among the biggest names in magic. The hot rod magically changes, visually multiplies, vanishes before your eyes, reappears in impossible locations, and much more! All jam-packed in an engaging and masterfully structured routine, Color Stix!

"That he could take such a common, overlooked effect and spin such gold out of it, is a testament to his creativity and an inspiring reminder that sometimes miracles can happen in the most unexpected places."
- Chris Philpott

Eric expertly walks you through the entire Color Stix routine. He goes into intricate detail of all the moves and sleights that bring this routine to life, as well as teach you extra techniques that weren't featured in the main routine. Your paddle move will be virtually invisible with all the tips and subtleties he finally shares. Make sure you watch until the very end, where Eric reveals his secret weapon to look like a superstar to his bookers, using nothing but a Hot Rod.

Warning: After watching this download you will never see The Hot Rod the same way ever again. You've been warned!

"Eric has taken the classic Hot rod effect to the next level! It changes, it multiplies, it vanishes; a beautiful well-structured routine that will leave your audiences wanting more!"
- Michael Kaminskas

"His Color Stix routine is pure eye candy, and proves once again that it isn't the trick, it's the person behind the trick. Eric's routine will make you want to dig out this old classic and start creating real magic. Eric is Magic!"
- Lou Serrano

"Eric has turned what is traditionally a beginning magician's average, mildly amusing trick into an advanced sleight-of-hand illusion! He made hot rods a fun, exciting, I-can't-wait-to-see-what-happens-next, effect with moves that will amaze you...Yes, I said amaze you!"
- "Mad" Tad Nyland

Penguin needs to carry the Hot Rod Eric uses Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 29th, 2020
(This review is for Color Stix by Eric Stevens)
I completely agree that Eric Stevens has resurrected the HOT ROD. His moves, presentation, and explanation are EXCELLENT!!! The only disappointment which has nothing to do with Eric, is that Penguin does NOT carry the Hot Rod he prefers and performs with. Hopefully, this product review will motivate Penguin to start to carry them on the website.

Stick hard to find

Surprisingly Fan-ta-stik by Loftus International. (upc 099996013415) Had the cheapest price a brick and mortar store Magic-inc.com in Fort Worth (Daniel Garcia from here).

Had to pay Derrick the owner over phone because of pandemic $4.95. Consider Pay Pal 'ing him direct.

This is compared to E-Bay, Magic Makers, Walmart 3rd party online vendors, A California magic store had it for 5 but I didn't know the owner for that magic store they required phone pay as well.

I felt like the OG's of magic ALA, David Williamson, who had to travel, hunt, and take special procedures to get this darn stick.

What's great about this trick is it's perfect for any analytical guy in the group. Just an optical illusion. No sleights to burn. And this trick is perfect for that guy.

Buy 2 of what you need. (4 total) so you have a back up if maybe you really do want to give it as a gift, (assuming you booked a higher pay gig to compensate) and of course if you ever lose or break one. - Jamie D. Grant from his book - The Approach.

Finally, I asked and was recommended by Derrick (As I never owned a hotrod) That green, Red, and Blue are visibly the best force color choices as yellow and orange can often be confused for each other or silver. Luckily I got Green force which is perfect for that Low Battery Effect Eric Recommended.

Eric did a great job answering all questions, but along my journey I hope these extra queries aid you.

If this review helped you please LIKE so more people can find assistance. - Cheers YayGrr

Hot Rod - not just a beginner trick ! Report this review

I haven’t touched one of these since i was a beginner in magic but, Eric has done some great work with this effect. This is the best routine I’ve seen with a hot rod and has made me want to bring it back into my life ... and maybe even start wearing sleeves!

New life for a classic trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 4th, 2024
(This review is for Color Stix by Eric Stevens)
From start to finish, Eric expertly demonstrates and explains in minute detail every aspect of his phenomenal routine, including not only HOW the various moves are made, but WHY as well. I’ve been using a Hot Rod for years and Eric has introduced several new ways to manipulate the rod which brings new life into a classic piece of magic. Highly recommended.

Cheer. No longer sneer for the Hot Rod Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 10th, 2023
(This review is for Color Stix by Eric Stevens)
It's so great to see a reimagining of something you might have tossed in a draw because it was corny or that everyone has seen or done a Hot Rod trick. It's amazing that he performed it a second time in the video and presented it word for word and action to action the second time.

Since Penguin isn't selling this paddle and there are requests for it, go to Magic Makers Inc. The paddle comes in two brands on the website; the Adams brand is cheaper.

Get 3 paddles (two at a minimum). The extra one gives you the option of finding it in another location. 3 with shipping for about $21. The site also has tricks from decades ago.

Nice handling, some minor flaws Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 5th, 2022
(This review is for Color Stix by Eric Stevens)
This is a great lesson on the paddle move, expertly taught. It inspired me to buy a new hot rod.

However, I don’t think some of the presentation makes sense. Just before sleeving, for example, he mentions (for no good reason) magical sleeves. Then, the moment when he shows both sides by rotating it in his hands he tells us some people can’t take in what’s going on, they can’t work it out… Nonsense! It might bewilder a bee for half a second, but any creature higher up on the evolutionary scale will see he’s just showing both sides of the rod.

Other than those two issues I have nothing to complain about, and I would recommend the download to anyone learning the paddle move.

HOLY CRAP, this is worth learning! Report this review

I remember seeing a Hot Rod routine when I was 15 and it blew me away. I have seen hundreds since then both good and bad but this is on a whole new level.

This is Knuckle Busting at its best. The Pain to Pleasure is worth the practice.

If you are looking for a killer Close-Up routine that will distance you from your competition, then you have got to invest in this and practice until it is perfect. Eric you are Awesome!
