I heard mixed things about the quality of this gimmick. So far, it's been working perfectly. I'll
update this review a few months down the line.
I've only done this twice so far. With that
said, I'm in love. There's been the trend recently of vanishing phone effects from Tobias Dostals to
Kyle Purnell's. Their effects are visual, but this effect is tactile, and I believe that's more
intimate and fooling than anything you can see.
There are multiple methods described on the
tutorial. My favorite is the third; is the easiest and super fooling. No one will question it.
I love this effect but I give it 4 stars because of this:
1. The gimmick works like a charm,
but I heard it might not last long. Fingers crossed that it continues to work.
2. The ad copy
is a bit misleading. Technically it CAN work with a spectators phone and technically it CAN work
with any phone case, but those are not taught. You'd have to give it a bit of thought on your end to
accomplish that.
3. The possibilities of different effects described in the trailer are not
taught in the tutorial. Some extra ideas are demonstrated but not taught. Personally, this is best
for the phone vanish effect.
4. I'm not a fan of the phone reappearing in your pocket. It feels
a bit anticlimactic and obvious, but that could be magician thinking. With a bit of thought, you
can make it appear anywhere, but the pocket reappearance is the only method taught. I got creative
and made it reappear in a folded envelope which has killed so far. I'm willing to share my handling
if anyone asks.
With all that said, I recommend this. It's been killer so far. It's a bit
expensive, but I love the effect that it accomplishes. If you like the tactile type of magic, than
try it out. If you want a more visual effect, go for Dropped Call or Optix. Recommended.

It’s for people who are professional performer and not amateurs. The Gimmick is what you thing it is
and it’s too expensive. But I don’t regret that I bought one!
The explanation video takes
25:48 Minutes.Three Handlings for vanishing a phone are explained. The Jacket version is the best.
The other two handlings are more bold but all three are motivated and well choreographed. But you
need to comfortably put a phone in your trouser pockets.
It’s possible to vanish a phone
with a normal hardcase(cover) but flip case is what I recommend. I am not sure if the sound method
will work so well because I haven’t tried it yet.
In the last five minutes you will see
Armanujjaman Abir perform different effects with “Frequency” to real people. I think it’s better to
use the gimmick not as he does. For me any other use than letting a phone vanish will give away the
secret.
For me this Gimmick is really useful for performing crazy phone vanish effects. The
Gimmick is perfect for carring around(pocket space is perfect). Easy and undetectable to use. It’s
for worker. You get easily the number of a pretty girl.😉 or client. It’s magic in there Hand. It’s
easy to involve more than one person. They will feel the incoming call, before you let the phone
vanish. It’s full charged but if you need to charge again it takes 40 to 45 minutes. Well explained
everything in the video from Peter Eggink. No big preparation beforehand.
I will combine
“Frequency” with “Sirix Pro” from Hanson Chien to amaze people.
The “Frequency” Gimmick is
essentially the same as “Impulse” from Christopher Taylor but “Frequency” is cheaper, smaller and
more practical. But as stated before, I doubt that it’s useful for more than vanishing a phone.
“Impulse” is much, much more versatile!

I have used Frequency and witnesses the creater Abir performed among the crowd of spectators. First
of all this is not a trick for beginners so you must practice practice practice. Just like any other
intermediate to advance handling of card magic. It does work with most phones and flap cases. Peter
have a unique handling so watch his tutorial over and over. Also reach out to Abir for any
suggestions.

This is a great little gem to work with!!
Easy to do (yes you do need to practice of course) but
then you have in my opinion a small miracle in your hands!

when I first watched the trailer I really didn’t know if expect but I decided to buy it nonetheless
because I thought the effect looked interesting. However as soon as I receive that I was blown away
by the method. It is so creative and out of the box and I would’ve never expected something like
this. I know I’ll be using this from now on

First off, I blame myself for jumping on this so quickly. This will NOT work with any phone as
advertised. It is very dependent on a phone case which needs to be the type with a front cover flap,
book/portfolio style.
I have a Samsung Z Fold, and no way this will work, especially
without the correct case.
I purchased an effect years ago, I think it was called SloMotion,
which used the same type gimmick which was far more discrete and a quarter of the price.
To
add insult to injury, the teaching is ... obviously not rehearsed, and as far as the additional
effects go,there was no teaching and it was painful to watch.
I have many of Peter's
effects and I have enjoyed his thinking and teaching. This was an idea that was worth working with,
but instead was used for a quick buck.
Again, shame on me, you have been warned.
