So I bought this right away cause I'm a huge fan of his work and let me say I was not disappointed one bit....yet again matt mello has done it again he took an every day gimmick most magicians have lying around and use it in a way that I never even dreamt of... It works 100% all the time which I love. So I did the basic effect with my girlfriend and her father and They were totally fooled here's the basic effect... You have someone close their eyes or blindfold them ou give a person in the audience an object to hold in their fist everyone can see what it is besides the blindfolded spectator you than reach up in the air and grab an invisible object and place it inside the blindfolded spectators hand you ask if they can feel the object they reply yea you begin asking questions as far as is it heavy or light soft or hard and the can answer everyone of the questions you than take out the imaginary object an again show your hands empty
To the audience the person is unblinded and you ask if they felt
You taking out the object thy say yes and you ask them wht
Thy think it was and they say a cork and the audience member was holding a cork in their closed fists... I got crazy reactions when I did it he also goes into two other effects using the same principle a person feeling a mouse inside their shoe when thy try to put their shoe on or you could save them think their is a rock in their shoe and they can feel it even though nothing is there....a great purchase well worth a lot more....really well written and very easy to follow along and also very easy to do

This seems too good to be true. How much envoque is involved? Love the premis

The term I think you're looking for is "equivoque", and I don't see how equivocation would apply here. The demo does say no stooge is used.

It uses no stooges it doesn't use equivique the spectator will actually feel them holding something in their hand and will be able to confirm that 100% and they will be able to describe the "object" its a brilliant effect

Is there slight of hand involved in this trick? And if so how hard is it to do & get away with? Beginner, intermediate, or advanced? Or am I off on the wrong track & no sleight of hand required lol??

Thx :)

The trick is clearly far more complicated than is shown in the demo. When I see a demo that doesn't show a whole performance, I am prepared for a disappointment. It invariably turns out that there is a weak point, something that gives the thing away or at least seems awkward or unnatural, that they don't want to show you. If Penguin were to set a higher standard for their demos, it would show real respect for their customers.

There is no sleight of hand whatsoever so a beginner could perform this you just need to work on your presentation skills and the trick is not complicated whatsoever its dead easy and won't take alot of practice at all its brilliant

I would agree with bilmes, when I don't see the full delivery, I am 100% sure that the edited video is removing a flaw or issue that makes the effects quality lesser than seen. Penguin, I haven't bought anything in a while due to this....

Seriously, if that's what keeps you from buying products, then I'm glad you aren't buying any. You can leave all the awesomeness for those of us who know it when we see it. This promo lives up to what it's selling. This method is SO SIMPLE anyone can do it, even with limited social skills.

Not sure what that says about you. Definately something.
