This review may be a bit long, but I implore you to read.

I have a stage show called under the influence, all of the effects in my show deal with me using words and actions to influence peoples choices. From my own take on Archers Blank Night too a 4 phase chair test. 90% of my show can be done by going to office max.

Magic, what is it....is magic the trick that you buy? The trick you buy is just a thing, an item. You get instructions that tell you to do this or that and to say this or...that. That is not the magic, magic is what you leave in a persons mind, magic is that coin appearing out of your ear as a kid. So with that, I bring you my review of this tiny piece of weird.


a quarter....thats it...with just a quarter do you think you can convince someone that you have power over suggestion or even precognition?

With this effect you can, the application is simple the learning is basic. BUT you can fail at this effect, not fail as in the effect does not work, oh it will work 100% of the time. Where you could fail is in your patter ( script ) for the new magicians, the words you use as this (trick) is happening.

2 examples,

1 you can take the linking rings, a classic of magic, a magician goes on stage and takes out 2 rings, he hits them and they link and he makes a move and they unlink..tada...

2. you can take the linking rings, a classic of magic, a magician goes on stage and takes out 2 rings, he procedes to tell you about harmonic waves, how everything is in motion and if you try very hard you can cause solid to pass through solid, the rings link after he hits them together to make them vibrate.

As a kid, I saw the second magician and for WEEKS, Months I was hitting things together at my house to make them link...I was not looking for HOW it was done as I knew it was HARMONIC waves....see I believed the magician and his claim of vibration.

so back to this effect, if you are a NEW magician you can do this trick, BUT you need to really believe in it and understand what Rick says in the instructions. If you walk up and say " let me show you a trick, then you have already failed as this is not a trick...of course it is, but the auidence does not need to know this.

wow you like it so much why 4 stars. Well 5 stars are so common and by putting 4 stars I influenced you to read this review...you see a lot of fives...but then you see a 4 star and wonder why its only 4 stars..so you read.

you have been influenced.

5 stars for this piece of weird.
