Mentalism/ Freaky Geeky magic!
Difficulty (1-5): 2, you just need to practice a bit and follow "the rules"
This is indeed an impressive bit of kit! I opened mine and instantly uttered someting that sounded like
"Clucking Bell that's 'clucking NASTY"!! LOL!
ONE touch by the spectator and you will have their attention... and respect I should think!
The prop certainly is substantial and although it does have the "bed of nails" principle going for it in terms of "safety"... I
NEVER intend upon getting it wrong...I don't fancy crying in public! I also don't suggest playing catch with it!
The routine you get is basic but hell...that's all you need...in fact...that's all you really want to eliminate uneeded dangers.
"K.I.S.S." as they say.! You as the performer should be adding the personal drama. The back story is intriguing enough to hold the attention, rationalises the prop and gives some context to the routine...rare beasts these days.
The hexagonal wooden box with the clasped and hinged lid the prop is presented in is very appropriate, it has a simple and clean, hand painted Japanese symbol on the lid...white on black....spot on! Inside you will find your very ,
VERY tasty prop.
The "workings" of the effect are pretty darned fool-proof. You'd have to be seriously dense to miss "the signs" (as it were) but practice and confidence are the key words, one builds the other. The method is easy but you need to be clear in your head as to what you will and will not do...one's attention is easily focused on the wrong thing for the right reason and the right thing for the wrong reason...a subtle but ever so important differentiation in this case.
You will need an extra "something" to work the effect but a look at the banner ads below this review will sort you out with that...if you don't one or two already.
Brilliant work and well worth the price tag...
WELL worth it!
