Magic Tricks

I laughed out loud when I realized how this effect worked. You take an ordinary magic utility that most folks, including mentalists, have around the house and put it to use in a way completely divorced from its intended use. It would be like taking a handgun and using it as a doorstop if you get my drift. It's that ridiculous.

That said, this is a PK effect at its best. Do this routine, and you will have people saying "WTF???" With proper audience management, they will have absolutely no idea what happened or what they saw and will try to rationalize an explanation. If you do this right, that explanation will be next to impossible.

I use a lot of Matt's stuff because, while the routines seems standard, the methods are just so out there, like his Invisible Ball, Total Control, and Energy Coins, and incredibly effective. Actually, you don't even need the object provided for The Imaginary Object but can substitute your own. Penguin might want to offer this as a $9.95 download for folks who don't need the utility device either. In any event, I love this effect. Bravo!
