I heard mixed things about the quality of this gimmick. So far, it's been working perfectly. I'll update this review a few months down the line.
I've only done this twice so far. With that said, I'm in love. There's been the trend recently of vanishing phone effects from Tobias Dostals to Kyle Purnell's. Their effects are visual, but this effect is tactile, and I believe that's more intimate and fooling than anything you can see.
There are multiple methods described on the tutorial. My favorite is the third; is the easiest and super fooling. No one will question it.
I love this effect but I give it 4 stars because of this:
1. The gimmick works like a charm, but I heard it might not last long. Fingers crossed that it continues to work.
2. The ad copy is a bit misleading. Technically it CAN work with a spectators phone and technically it CAN work with any phone case, but those are not taught. You'd have to give it a bit of thought on your end to accomplish that.
3. The possibilities of different effects described in the trailer are not taught in the tutorial. Some extra ideas are demonstrated but not taught. Personally, this is best for the phone vanish effect.
4. I'm not a fan of the phone reappearing in your pocket. It feels a bit anticlimactic and obvious, but that could be magician thinking. With a bit of thought, you can make it appear anywhere, but the pocket reappearance is the only method taught. I got creative and made it reappear in a folded envelope which has killed so far. I'm willing to share my handling if anyone asks.
With all that said, I recommend this. It's been killer so far. It's a bit expensive, but I love the effect that it accomplishes. If you like the tactile type of magic, than try it out. If you want a more visual effect, go for Dropped Call or Optix. Recommended.
