Great blockead-light trick Report this review

Right now it's $4.99 and I have to think that's the introduction price because I've seen plenty of rubber band effects on here not nearly as interesting, with complicated setups in front of the audience that look more like puzzles than tricks go for $10 and $15 as downloads.

Honestly, I don't usually even make it through the full performance/preview video of a lot of them because it feels like just explaining to the audience what they're about to see and then setting up complex cat's-cradle arrangements that clearly look suspicious is too much for my taste.

This looks simple and the moves are as minimal and deliberate from the audiences' perspective as you'd expect them to be if you were able to do something like this for real.

It's not 100% angle-proof but audience management on that should be a breeze because anywhere the subterfuge might be exposed, people would be blocked from seeing the action and trust me, they're not going to be trying to look anywhere you don't want them (except possibly away) with this one!

This isn't totally impromptu. It needs a small amount of setup but it's the kind that could be done in plain sight as long as there's a beat between when you do it and when you perform this.

For as much money as a lot of us blow on downloads around here, I'd say if the style of magic doesn't put you off, don't give it a second thought at $5. If it goes up to $10, I'd say it's still easily worth it for something so unique, simple and clean!
