This my first review. This trick is easily my favorite as it is very easy to do and is well taught.
You get a great reaction every time and the spectator get to take home the wishbone. They give you
few extra gimmicks to practice with. You will have to eventually order new gimmicks since you
destroy one every time you do the trick, but you get plenty o start with, great trick!

I know what most magicians are thinking. 'This trick looks pretty obvious to me'. Well I thought so
too, but I bought the effect as I go to coffee shops and I thought it would be great to do on my
mates. I was right it does get great reactions and is easy to do, but I was slightly wrong with how
I thought it was done! The method is a lot more devious than I expected, I opened the box thinking
'that box is a bit too small', then I smiled when I saw the gimmicks inside! Genius!
You can
fairly show both stir stick SEPARATE at the start and then they mould together. Its so easy to
perform, and seems so natural with great reactions. I even came up with a couple of different
effects using the gimmicks. If you go to coffee shops a lot, this is a must have. 10/10

I have been happy with many of the effects I've purchased from Penguin but this is the first time I
have been inspired to write a review. Wishbone is a trick I will carry with me and perform because
it is an extremely effective illusion, well taught and cleverly designed. I love being able to
perform something which mystifies my audience and lets me finish clean. Well done Paul and Bro!

This can really be really an impromptu miracle.
You're somewhere and somehow get someone to
hand you a couple of wood stirrers would be the ideal as extreme good example and work down from
there.
And you so far ahead and so clean yet unclean. A coffee stick just doesn't
scream
gimmick.
So for the whole trick you're wondering .. what is the reaction going to be ?
This is one of the those trick so clean and direct it really says more about the spectator. Some
get completely blown away and others minds melt but in the end most love the takeaway object. But
some people don't believe in luck remember :)
Because it happens in their hands people are more
willing to accept the magic, rather than accept they are NOT magical. :)
Again I feel the
reactions and "magic" is amplified when this is performed in a coffee house or somewhere with wooden
sticks. Hey that gives me an idea, Start looking for wishbone twigs on the ground and do this with
twigs !
Gotta go ...
Great Visual Magic and Great Gimmicks. Video Tutorial is done well. Get this one.
Awesome little effect!!!! why only a couple reviews?
!!
Since I am in a coffee shop every day for a 20 minute visit/break, I perform alot of coffee house
magic while sipping away. This was an awesome addition. Easy to perform, organic, hits hard at the
end. Instructions are excellent. Even if you are not in a coffee shop, you can easily introduce
these in a strolling set or formal show. Be creative. Only con(minor)I see for some is that you will
use up gimmicks with each trick so be prepared to purchase refills. It is worth it though. Comes
with a nice bonus effect too with stir sticks. Oh...spec gets to keep a magical souvenier and the
magic happens in their hands. Cant go wrong here. Powerful magic .
