Magic Tricks

Thread by Wayne Houchin

Effect: As you start swallowing a piece of thread it starts coming out your eye!

Price: $22.50 at Penguin Magic

Teaching: Wayne Houchin is very skilled at teaching fluently. He goes over safety, setting up, just everything you need to know. You could seriously sit down with the things you need and just follow along. If you have seen his other DVDs like Stigmata or Indecent you would know that he is gonna be in the Magic Market for a long time.

Quality: The T11|Ellusionist Quality that we all expect from this man. Dana Hocking I believe does all of Wayne's filming. A very skilled man with the camera and the sound boards.

Difficulty: The difficulty depends on the person. Really. It's much like doing needle thru hand. You need to trust yourself and have the guts to setup and do this. If you put in contacts on a day to day basis you should have no problem. But if touching around your eye is new to you, you might have a problem with hesitation.

Applications: This is great from anywhere to Stage shows to strolling. I've done this once at a restaurant. It is guaranteed reactions from anyone who sees it. I see this effect more to go with twisted arm or Freak. It's a lot to take in and it's sick to watch. The reason I don't perform this too often is because I'm afraid to scare the audience away haha.

Overall Rating:
9/10. There is a non-geek way to do this effect so everyone has a change to do this effect. So drink up, we have a visual raw practical piece of magic on our hands.
