In this week’s product review we look at Spiraled by Jimmy Strange. The effect is simple, you show a sharpie pen, then twist it in a magical way right at your fingertips. Jimmy teaches a range of presentations for Spiraled. In this Spiraled review, David at MoM takes you behind the curtains at the magic shop. He opens up the package and finds out if spiraled by jimmy strange really is as good as it claims?

Product Description:

We all know what a Sharpie Pen is… but now you can give the pen a twist!

Here’s a few ways to use Spiraled:

Once you have finished usung a Sharpie, tell someone to hold it in their fist. Slowly twist the Sharpie as you pull it from their hand… It comes out magically twisted in the middle!
Write the word, “twist” on a bit piece of paper, and tell everyone that you will show them the ‘MAGIC OF WORDS.’ You wrap the paper around a pn and light it. With a flash, the Sharpie is twisted!
Just after you have a card signed and you put away your Sharpie, take a moment to hold it at the fingertips and twist it as if it’s made of chocolate.

The gimmick is good, would definitely invest in a lubors lens though, as I’ve found using that helps if not wearing a jacket.

FALL by Banachek and Philip Ryan – Behind the Curtain Magic Reviews

We take a closer look at FALL by Banachek and Philip Ryan in this weeks MoM Behind the Curtain Magic Review

Fall is one of the most striking magic tricks you can do with a Sharpie pen. The pen is placed on surface, and covered with a glass or bowl if you wish. Now you concentrate and focus your ‘powers’ on the pen. Using your mind, you appear to make the pen fall suddenly to the ground. These types of PK pen tricks have been popular for years, but the pens have always had a few design and usage issues. Despite this, magicians such as Banachek have used these to great advantage. The FALL sharpie pen is a massive move forward in design, making this perfect for working magicians that need reliability.

The most notable improvement to the PK pen found in FALL is the ability to control the timing of the drop – making it take 15 seconds or up to 2 minutes depending on how much ‘acting time’ you want to have.

FALL by Banachek and Philip Ryan F.A.Q’s

Can you control the time it takes for the sharpie to fall? – Yes, You can decide how much time you want before the drop of the pen

Does this use invisible thread or magnets? – No
Do I have to be near the pen to make it fall? – You can be as far away as you like from the pen when it falls

Do I need to supply my own sharpie pen? – Nope, it comes included, plus a download video

Are there performing limitations? – You can perform FALL by Banachek and Philip Ryan surrounded anytime, anywhere

X-Ray by Rasmus – Behind The Curtain Magic Reviews

Ben Williams does a behind the curtain magic review of X-Ray by Rasmus

X-Ray by Rasmus is the first ‘Which Hand’ magic trick and Kurotsuke method combined to date, that allows you, with rolled up sleeves and without the use of electronics, to know with total accuracy, where a hidden object is. Rasmus shares his secret method to the community of magicians.

X-Ray uses no electronics and can be performed sleeveless. There is no need to touch the spectators. The method is self contained. You could even do both effects Which Hand and Kurotsuke completely naked if you wanted to.

Includes one black and 4 white balls, for the strongest and most fireproof Which Hand and Kurotsuke style effects, where you guess with 100% accuracy, in which hand the black ball is.

Is it easy to perform?

X-Ray is not hard to perform. The gimmick does the technical work for you. You will need to work on presenting it in an interesting and entertaining way

Quotes:

“Rasmus is clever! I don’t know how he does he Which Hand, but it looks real!
– Uri Geller

“I have never been a fan of the ‘what hand’ effects, but of all the methods I have seen, this one seems to be the best. I just might change my mind about doing it!”
– Richard Osterlind
