"Laced Up is exactly what real magic would look like. It is genuinely stunning and better yet surprisingly very practical! This is the perfect everyday carry - just put on your shoes and you will have an absolute miracle ready to go!" - David Jonathan

"Laced Up is now my absolute FAVORITE ring to shoelace effect EVER! It 100% fooled me. The method is sheer genius and as close to self-working as you can get. I want this gimmick for ALL my shoes!" - Cody S. Fisher

"Laced Up is an amazing piece of practical Magic with 3 beats of impossibility with everyday objects! AND you can use a borrowed finger ring! Anytime a spectator has something of value, the interest goes up 10 fold! As a worker or non-worker, this will become your EDC!" - Derek Ostovani

"The moment when Donnovan unties the shoes fooled me so badly, then I watched the instructional video... Laced Up is so well thought out, there are so many beats of strong magic, and I cannot wait to perform this!" - John Shack

Link a borrowed ring onto your shoe laces. Then impossibly move the knot to the toe of your shoe and untie it. The visuals are insane, and the effect is a reputation maker. Perform an absolute miracle using only your shoes. This is laced up by Donnovan Mount.

Here’s what happens:

The magician borrows a finger ring from an audience member. The ring is simply touched to the shoe laces near the toe of the shoe, the very bottom of the laces. Impossibly the ring penetrates the shoelace and is linked on with absolutely no cover right in the middle of the laces. To get the ring off, the magician visibly plucks the tied bow of the laces off the top of the shoe and reattaches the knot at the point in the laces where the ring is linked. Then, in an unbelievable moment, the shoe laces are untied, and the ring is returned to the spectator. The magician can then retie the laces, move the knot back to the top of the shoes, and even untie them again to prove the knot actually moved.

Laced Up is one of the wildest effects we have ever released. You need to watch the video to see the absolutely insane visuals this effect has. The shoe laces can actually be untied when the bow is at the top of the shoes and when it’s at the toe. You receive the unique gimmicks that you install once in your shoe and then are secure enough for you to walk around with as your everyday shoelace. Laced Up is the kind of magic you would perform if you had actual powers. Grab your favorite pair of kicks and get Laced Up by Donnovan Mount.

Good, but some issues. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 27th, 2023
This is a good trick, but with so many glowing reviews. I bought two pair. I would like to mention a few problems to balance out the reviews.

1) I can't walk around with it on or it will come off or come undone. I was really excited about this, but it has come apart in the last two walk-around shows I have done, exposing the gimmick.The only work-around I can come up with is to carry the bow in my pocket and put it on during the show. This can be part of the act.

2) The laces with which you make the bow are too long and look a little comical. They need to be an inch or so lollshorter. Cutting them to an acceptable length means losing the "end caps".

3) These work best on an athletic shoe. I bought a pair of dressier shoes at DSW that work fine, but it is limiting in formal situations. Also they only work with a certain (common) lace system.

2days practice AMAZING Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 26th, 2022
Performed this at a business party yesterday with only 2 days of practice about 10hrs total, along with a handful of card and coin tricks, I have mastered over the years, that always get great reactions, BUT... LACED UP WAS THE *HIT* OF THE NIGHT. People loved it. They literally ran to get there Friends telling them they had to see it. The reactions were worth every penny spent. Cant wait to see what Mr. Mount comes out with next.

Incredible and Practical Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 24th, 2022
Bought this trick immediately upon release on the trailer. It is super practical, and fairly easy. Taking the bow off is a bit knacky and will require some practice. I had a few questions and Donovan personally video chatted with me and helped solve the issues. A1 guy right there. Highly recommend. If you are a street/walkaround or bar magician, you NEED this effect. Add to cart now!

In my opinion best trick of 2022 hands down Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 22nd, 2022
So I ordered this as soon as I saw it it was such a beautiful illusion

I received it today and LACED UP my shoes 😉 within 5 minutes of playing with this I was so happy and blown away I ordered a second copy

It looks as amazing as the trailer and I can’t wait to go out into the world and do this

The only part that will take a little practice is understanding the gimmicks and tying and untying which isn’t hard at all with a little play time


Within ten minutes I had it looking good with a days practice I’ll be a pro at this

This is such a beautiful impossible illusion and I haven’t been this satisfied and excited with a trick in a very long time

Knocked it out of the park with this one

I’d give it 10 stars if I could

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 20th, 2022
Wow. I wanna leave a review because when i saw this I was so intrigued by the trailer I usually don't buy anything before I see a review especially since I thought this could be a hit or miss but I couldn't wait and I pulled the trigger. And it was a good choice. I haven't received it yet but watching the tutorial it definitely looks like a great illusion live. I have to be honest it was kind of what I was thinking it was only because I just bought four nightmares. But I wasn't exactly sure how it worked and it is pretty clever and similar. The tutorial goes over everything and how to adapt it to your shoe. I can't wait to see it in person and see the quality of it and see if I have similar problems with hiding things as the laces get a little worn in. They come in black so I think it will help cover loose ends. This trick was compelling under the radar to me but I was already getting things to take advantage of the black friday sale so why not get this and get another free trick. I just wanted to stack it up to get ties. But this trick definitely is a recommend duh it's such a beautiful visual I think it will stump spectators. I hope I can help anybody on the fence about this waiting for a review. It's definitely worth it from what I've seen but I'll update once I mess with it. Got so much magic coming lots of great releases lately can't wait. Thanks penguin this site's awesome

Such a powerful everyday carry. only downside is, if someone decides to mess with/examine your shoes.

Easy TotY and I Don't Think It's Close Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 12th, 2022
Can't think of a recent release this practical, visual, clean, and beloved by everyone who sees it. This thing is a game changer for impromptu social settings, gigs, social media, whatever. And just so damn fun to do.

It's the perfect iteration of the new wave of visuals-focused, reality-altering magic a la Tobias Dostal, Caleb Morelli, Luke Oseland, etc. You don't need patter, justification, or even a plot; the effect is so clear and wonderfully nonsensical that it just makes sense - like someone's face turning pan-shaped after getting smacked with a frying pan! Perform near a kid you "hadn't noticed" and find out for yourself.

And that's just the base effect. There is so much potential for variation here and I'm sure we'll see tons in the community soon. The principle is just too good! Donnovan shares two extra ideas here; the second is just delightful and my favorite way to use this.

The only "con" is that I have to sit through learning 'Linking Laces' again.

TL;DR: We're all going to be doing this a billion times, everywhere, for the rest of time.

Trick of the year candidate Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 5th, 2022
I’m sure I’m not going to be able to say anything the other reviews haven’t. This is by far one of the best purchases I have EVER made in magic. Super easy to perform. Super clean. And super visual. Checks off all the things you’d want to create one of the greatest illusions IMO to ever be created.

If there’s anything I’m disappointed about, it would be the email penguin sent out to us all. Before Opening the email it mentions Kevin’s name. However after opening up the email it doesn’t credit him for his initial comment but goes on to credit more established magicians reviews like Nick. Kevin is the reason I even found Laced up and his video on how to tie the laces has helped many people who have struggled in that area.

Ok that’s over with. This is a must have for anyone who wants to perform what looks like real magic. Social media or in person. 10/10

If I could add a recommendation to penguin. Add the video that Kevin made to the tutorial. It’s extremely helpful and I can attest to this. Just go to the cafe and see how many people have requested that I send them the same video.

Back to the effect. Just buy it. You will not regret this purchase, I promise. Well worth every dollar and you will use this.
