But it's not that good because the gimmick can't do what it says it can do sometimes and the setup can be a bit of a pain sometimes and won't always work.

Not keen on this. Very fiddly to set up, and you have to have the tension just right otherwise the gimmick snaps or isn't powerful enough.

Also you can buy a whole load of gimmick for not a lot but paying for a 10 min DVD is annoying.

I don't recommend this unless you are very willing to mess around getting the set up just right. It's my least favourite of all the items I've bought from Penguin, but some will love it.

The power of a word “Fall” sends the vibrating energy of your voice on a mission of magical excitement!
The power of your voice moves a stable object tumbling to the floor. There you are in front of your spectators as you reach forward your arm movements survey the surrounding area. As you wave your arms there is the appearance of a solid assurance there are no threads or gimmicks. You step back. Hold your hands to your ears so as not to be devastated by resonance of your own voice. You say one powerful “word” – FALL! - and the object before you topples over at your command.
A crowd pleaser this “word” of magic requires some careful but effective set-up. Your arms becomes an important aspect of the magic so you need to practice many times until you can manipulate the trick with effective invisibility and un-self-consciously – but well worth the practice. Apply your skills frequently and your “word” will resonate with un-detectable magical effect. Practice is required, but just say the “word – fall” and your voice will speak volumes of fun and entertainment. This also rates six stars ****** however you will need to devote yourself to practice until you are at ease with this magical effect.
Well worth your efforts and your investment. The video explains it all and guides you in everything your need to master to make this “word” magic happen.

I finally got this. Very clever! Nice Job Matt!

What I like the most is the overall versatility of the method. Obviously the effect will always be knocking things down but the variety of ways this can be accomplished is the cool part. It is also mainly for light objects, pens and card castles, but that is true for the vast majority of PK magic. You can knock down single objects, multiple objects, objects behind a barrier, objects underneath impromptu frames, you can even line up four pens in a row and knock down the two in between. Pretty cool!

The standard method is to speak a powerword, fall, drop, BOO!, whatever you want it to be but I was primarily interested in adding this to my Seance show. For that I wanted the objects to fall down signalling the arrival of the ghosts. Therefore I wanted to have nothing to do with the effect...giving the "credit" to my spooks. I am happy to say that this can be done with absolutely no detectable movement and you don't even need a powerword if you don't want.

To be honest I have been getting a little annoyed with the "Matt your so awesome dude!" threads that pop up related to his products but after getting this I have one thing to say....
Matt your awesome dude!

I recently purchased Power Word: Fall by Matt Sconce. It arrived super quick even though it had to travel to Australia. By contrast a local order I placed on the same day took two weeks, whereas this took only days. As to the product itself, I think this a great PK effect. Oh yeah, if you are ordering this, then get Cloak by Justin Miller too, as they compliment each other very well. Those who own both will know what I mean. Overall I'm very happy with this. Some folks have been concerned about the set-up, and I agree that this works better (at least for me) where I have some control over the environment.

Ok,

1) this is fun but not at all practical for the professional magician who needs to rely on his instruments %100 of the time.

2) It's a bit of a con because you most likely already own this and might already be doing various things similar so for close to $30.00. um. no thank you.

All that said, it is lots of fun! If you don't already have this, which you might and most hobbyists and ALL professionals do, then it's a good intro into the world of this well known and already well-used gimmick.

I highly recommend this for all of you just beginning in magic. If you are new to magic then as they say . . "knock yourselves out" ! - You'll LOVE it!

2 stars for not being exactly truthful.
3 stars for being great for the beginning magician

This is a cool method, we all know what is used, but the way you drop the marker with it, is smart.

But -
It is not practical,
At all.
it might work in rear situations.. I will recommend getting it from open box,for 10$ or less.

It’s just not practical the set up is just kind of a pain I can see this working out maybe in a stage setting where you can set this up before hand but in a street magic or strolling setting this just won’t work.

Clever method, but I was unable to get it to work. The gimmick seemed too delicate and would continuously break on me. Furthermore, based on the thinness of the gimmick, it was really hard to get it to go (and stay) where it was supposed to be loaded.

Might be better for magicians with more precise fine motor skills than me or those with a more gentle touch

IT work can be miraculous, audiences are stunned. Unfortunately not with this. The setup is clumsy and obvious. You may get away with this on stage, but the in close up.
