iDeck By Noel Qualter £39.99 Alakazam
"Noel's ideck is clever, funny, magical and novel. I want one!" - David Williamson
Alakazam Magic presents Noel Qualter’s iDeck!
From the slightly weird, yet very creative mind of Noel Qualter comes a commercial effect that is off-beat, quirky, funny, entertaining and above all very magical!
Effect
You joke about buying an early iPod prototype that just arrived this morning. With tongue firmly in cheek, you introduce a card box that resembles an iPod and call it your "iDeck”
You show every card inside has the name of a famous song from the last 50 years of music and ask the spectator to select one and return it to the box. The magician then brings out a set of headphones and attaches them to the box in a humorous and amazing way.
The spectator names his song and it plays from the headphones and the crowd go wild.
Easy to do
Instant reset
Maybe repeated with a different outcome
Customise you system depending on the age or musical taste of your audience (over 25 popular titles to choose from)
Custom made gimmicks
Each iDeck package comes complete with instructional DVD, Custom headphones, beautiful song cards (plastic coated to last a lifetime), Custom deluxe iDeck gimmick, Blank iDeck card box, N42 Extreme power neo magnet, iDeck sticker.
You DO NOT need to buy or own anything extra - the iDeck effect comes complete with EVERYTHING that you need to perform the effect. No additional props or devices are required!
No expense has been spared bringing you this fantastic effect! The props are of the highest quality and the effect has been in development for well over 18 months.
"Noel's ideck has instant appeal. It combines magic and popular culture which is something very rare!"-Jon Allen
"That is ******* awesome!" - Jeff McBride
"That is incredible....best trick I have see this year.... and quite a bit of last year" - John Archer
"Just what I would expect from Noel Qualter - funny, clever and super cool" - Aaron Fisher
Well what can I say...got this at 9am today, and opened the packet up to find a little gem of an effect! Thought about getting this some months back as a bit of fun to add into my new set...and its going straight in...
You get a very thorough dvd (as usual from alakazam) and Noel and Peter take you step by step throught the process of setting up your i-deck. Its a shame that the workings cant be told openly cos they are ace.
Basically youve got an ipod (its a box) and some headphones and a bunch of song cards (similar to card stock from directors cut).
The spec picks a song card and the speakers play it.. its fab...and anyone who buys it will smile with joy. You may not use it or have it fit your style but its worth having just for something super fun to play with.
Ive tried it in the office today, and the receptionist was blown away and then laughed her *rse off...so I presume thats a good thing...
It took me about 20 mins to put it all together, including songs etc, handly my ipod was sat next to me to reference music at the time...but overall lovely little effect...I think its very innovative in using sound reveal rather than a visual.
Now go buy!
