Very Easy To Do What You Need Is Just Only Concentrate With Your Presentations.


They say:
Stevens Magic provides the latest version of this heart-stopping effect with a redesigned gimmick to give it an even more modern and sleek appearance.

BIG BANG is the ultimate demonstration of psychokinesis from Chris Smith! Place any ordinary light in a clear bag - completely sealing it off. From this point on you never touch the bulb, and spectators can clearly see the bulb and straight through the bag. Concentrate all of your mental energy on the bulb – IT EXPLODES! This unexpected WHOOOMMMPP!!

Stops the hearts of even the most hardened spectators. You now are free to hand out the bag of broken shards, or safely dispose of the dangerous fragments in a nearby wastebasket. BIG BANG also allows you to borrow a quarter, and hold it in your outstretched hand in front of the bulb. Spectators can see that other than the bulb, the bag is completely empty.

Now, two things happen at once - the bulb explodes as the coin visibly vanishes from your fingertips! You now show that the coin has instantly reappeared inside the remnants of the shattered bulb! This is an incredibly visual vanish and reappearance, all punctuated by the shattering of the bulb. With BIG BANG, you have complete control the entire time. Also, since the explosion happens in a bag, it's safe to perform in any venue - from stage to close-up - and there's never a mess to clean up. BIG BANG comes complete with everything you need - a precision engineered prop, supplies, plus an all-inclusive video CD that covers both performances and explanations - you just supply any regular bulb.

FEATURES • Spectators can hold the bulb through the bag. • Do it completely surrounded. • No special bulb or set up needed. • Very simple to perform, so you can concentrate on presentation.

I say:

i think you guys know mesika effect so i did not make a long long review with this effect.
similar like mesika.. the different is this effect use plastic bag and paperclip and i think more safety...

The effect I'd like to get is the one Copperfield did a few years ago.
The self lighting matches, a lightbult that glowed brighter and brighter then exploded and a crow bar that visibly bent.
Finally I Can I just got this effect and I like it, yes at first I was put off by the clip, but it kind of reminds me of the clips that one uses to close potato chip bags.

Rating out of 10: 7/10

Why I Give This Tricks 7 because i have a little problem to excecute the lightbulb and put the clip into the bag..

maybe u guys will agree with me...

but overall this effects Pack Small Play Big

I Personally Combine This Effect With Lightning

I think the difficulty in attaching the bag to the clip makes this effect almost useless as an impromptu effect which is a great shame because other than this it really is fantastic looking and has many possibilities.
most dissapointing is that the creator knew this but did nothing to remedy the issue before releasing it for sale, hence the reason all of the promo vids show the bulb already in the sealed bag when the trick begins.
basically rendering the fact that you can genuinely use any bulb irrelevant, everyone thinks the bulb is tricked out and there is nothing you can do to prove otherwise. More importantly it means that it is unlikely you can use the effect more than once per session given it can take up to 10 minutes to get the bag back on.
A real real shame, someone will inevitably design a better version of this effect and I will buy it.

With the diminishing supply of ordinary lightulbs in favour of low energy and LED bulbs, aren't these effects now somewhat doomed?
