Name: Melt

Available from: most places now...originally from expertmagic.com

Price: £10 - £15

Maker: Michal mystic

Examinable: nothing to examine

Difficulty: 4/10

Out of 10: 10

Effect Imagine being able to borrow a signed coin, and have it visually melt through your hand? Or have the ability to make a borrowed ring vanish, using only two fingers, then to make it reappear by rubbing a playing card on the palm of your hand??? Better yet, how would you like it, if you could do this all... ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, with ANY small object!

Comments a very well thought out effect, can be done in most environments (preferably close up) with long sleeves, short sleeves whatever! with pre/post purchase forums for anyone with problems or ideas for improvement....

some people according to the forums, have difficulty with the gimmick(which can be made or bought) i personally had no trouble and would recommend this to anyone who does close up work, can be instantly reset and carried around all day...

As with all good tricks, this one is deceptively simple. One of those where you question the cost of the video afterwards!
Don't bother paying extra for the video with the "gimmick" - the gimmick is trivially easy to construct.

the gimmick is INCREDIBLY easy to construct... just look at the aftermarket forums, some people seem to have difficulty but i REALLY dont know why

by **dr_tezza** » Apr 22nd, '03, 17:02

i think the problem that people are having (from what i have seen) is more with sourcing the neccessary bits to make the gimmick than the actual making of the gimmick itself

by **the_mog** » Apr 22nd, '03, 17:06

yeah maybe, but seriously its a breeze.... unless your trying to melt a half brick or something then whats recommended should be more than adequate and i will point out that i live in a place in scotland with no magic shops to speak of and i can get materials!

WOW!

I just watched the demo from the link above and IT LOOKS LIKE MAGIC!

I am wondering, does it need some set-up before hand? Can it be done immediately after some other unrelated trick -- or does it have to be done as an opener? Does it have to be reset -- or is it automatically ready to go again?

by **midge25** » Apr 24th, '03, 08:31

no you can carry it around undetected and it can go virtually strauight away again

what type of w** do people use because i sometimes have the problem that it stays on the object but falls of the t***** and the the object just falls to the floor, i am only using light objects as well 1P piece

When I received my 'Melt', it came with IT and **x and was the standard magician's **x - firm in the tub but soon softens in the fingers (does this sound as rude to you as it does to me?!). If it's kept in the suggested 'parking' place, as on the Vid then it ought to stay soft & sticky enough for when you perform (yes, it’s getting ruder!).

If objects are dropping off (ooo-errr!) then try using slightly more of the **x – it still ought to be near enough invisible when parked - and it's out of sight when in use anyway.
:wink:

by **the_mog** » Apr 24th, '03, 11:42

can i suggest that comments of the type...

it came with IT and **x and was the standard magician's **x

can be passed through to members by email or pm? its not rocket science to work out what the ***'s mean and by this it offers people the means to work the effect out?

by **Mandrake** » Apr 24th, '03, 12:01

Thanks for your posting - I agree that it probably wouldn't take much to decipher such a simple code but if anyone has taken the trouble to get this far into a Forum then they will probably discover a lot more from other, less careful postings. In addition some references have more than one meaning – IT is equally well known as Information Technology and I’d challenge anyone to guess what it the letters stand for in this context without already having some sort of a clue. Without someone actually having the ‘props’ to hand and seeing the effect, I doubt anything useful could be gleaned. As a further complication, there’s more than one routine with the same title – we could be talking about something completely different here!

This doesn't mean that all things should be discussed openly of course and your message makes a good point to that effect. Cheers,

Thanks. Where did you guys get it from that it came with supplies? On the Melt homepage, you can only download the instructions.

In view of the previous comments re exposing too much info, I've sent you a private message!

by **Captain Fantastic** » Apr 28th, '03, 00:42

I had no choice and after seeing the preview, I had to get this one. All I can say is this is the easiest and simplest yet the most stunning piece of magic that I have had the good fortune of using!!
EVERYONE must get this...
