The Effect
IMAGINE.......a new wave street magic style effect that is as close to dematerialization as it gets. You start clean, end clean. No special set up, ready to do at a moments notice.
PERFORMANCE
You walk up to a vertical object such as a street sign, pole, parking meter, gate, etc... and place both arms around it. Cleanly and slowly you interlock your fingers tightly together forming a solid circle out of your arms and hands. The beady little eyes of your audience just a few feet away suddenly fall out as they watch you visibly & undeniably pull your interlocked hands through the vertical object. Your hands are IMMEDIATELY shown so they do not confuse you with being a ghost, but an immortal being.
Ki can be performed with a multitude of vertical objects. Any object you can interlock your hands around can be used!!! Indoors or Outdoors!!! Just a few examples:
•STREET SIGNS
•POLES/PIPES
•SWORDS
•SPECTATOR'S WRIST/ARMS
•BIKE RACKS
•BICYCLES
•PARKING METERS
Ki FEATURES
- No special clothing required.
- No special lighting required.
- No special vertical objects or gimmicking of them.
- Spectators may examine performer's hands and vertical objects before & after.
- Performer starts clean and finishes clean.
"Ki POINTS"
- Ki is performed usually at a distance of 10-12 feet from the spectator/spectators.
- Ki cannot be done surrounded.
- Ki is sold as an instructional DVD which explains everything needed to perform & construct gimmick. Items needed are easily obtainable from local stores.
- Ki is not difficult to perform, can be confidently performed with about an hour or less of practice.
Cost
£29.95 from JBTV
Difficulty
3=Some sleights used
Review
I have done this a couple of times as not had it from long. Got good reactions from it.
Like it says above you have to do this from a distance plus you cannot be surrounded.
Sorry for the short review will post more at later date when I have done
it a couple of more times to find out if this one is a keeper.
Overall
Still undecided TBC

I'm not one for emoticons but

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

Is there anyone else who has had any experience of this? I'd like to hear what your thoughts are.
If we can hit that bullseye then the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... Checkmate!
