Fantastic version of the CAAN - love this one and perform every time. Always gets amazing reactions.
This has surprised me ! It’s gone down so well. Not my normal style but I was advised to give it a go, well I am so pleased I did. Brilliant reactions
Once again fast delivery from Alex @ Monster !
For what I need it for this is perfect. The concept is great but it’s got its faults.
The button is extremely stiff and the catch keeps catching stuck so makes it hard to close and means I have to move it back before it works again. Not always though but it’s annoying.
Secondly, the glass keeps falling off on the gimmicked side.
Although I contemplated getting a refund for it, I’ve decided to kept it and make it work for what need it for.
If they’d have spent a little more making sure everything was okay this would have made all the difference but as it is, it means I’ve now got to stick to one forced time because I have to glue the glass in place.
As for the catch, well, after I’ve aged the watch, I’m hoping some watch oil will make some difference, but if not, and the catch keeps getting stuck, well I’ll just bin it. Too risky to hope it works!!
Shame really because it definitely has potential to be a brilliant watch.
When it comes to book tests and stage magic, this has only grown on me. It's theatric, plays big, and has multiple phases. The only problem with it is the knife of course. Knives unfortunately have bad connotations with crime especially in London where I live. Therefore, I have tried to make it seem like I'm cutting a cake which immediately brings the audience's minds to happier places like birthday parties.
Simply brilliant and looks like real magic. The handling must be done right. It is limited to your audience being head on so best for parlor and stage. It uses black art which restricts it a bit but I was able to perform it wearing only a black T-Shirt and a bright orange jacket which did not interfere.
Many electronic products have come out which claim what this tiny device does... but they all fall short. Easy to setup, easy to execute.
I mainly bought this for the ring and it's well made.
The instructional provided is from the world's greatest magic series so top class. I was surprised to also find a tutorial of the David Williamson style ring on rope routine included! For that you will want to have some spare rope on you and it's really taken my ring on rope to the next level.
It is quite telling when the person on the tutorial cannot pull the trick off while sat at a table. He literally keeps dropping it and is unable to demonstrate it. I am not sure how this got past quality control. It is also angle sensitive and hard to setup.
I ended up buying a flint flasher on a reel instead which is much more practical for the same effect.
I had first bought this to be a trick I'd perform for children but even grown men love this.
The setup is extremely easy to do and only takes a few seconds. I usually do it when talking to the spectators and no one notices. Their reaction is always a combination of shock and laughter. I recently ran into a woman that said she hated magic but lucky ladybug brought her around. It's the fact that it catches them by surprise, leaves them with a gift, and does not pretend to be fooling long term nor try to be that makes it perfect.
Better than the original set.
Excellent value. For under £40 quid the amount of gimmicks and tutorials to play with is incredible.
So why 3 stars? They don’t look like traditional poker chips and there isn’t a section for repairing the gimmicks as of yet.
Was loving playing with the flipper gimmick as I have never used one before. Then it broke. I don’t find it so straight forward to fix. It’s disappointing, however there are plenty of other gimmicks to keep me busy until they hopefully address this and add it to the download.
Top marks again for a fast delivery from Alex and if they do add a repair section then I would quite happily upgrade this project to 5 stars
Great little utility device for coin workers that can be used out in the open. And as Alex mentioned in his review show will be around around for a long time. For me, it's better than Quiver as it looks more natural. Arrived within two days of ordering. Well done Monster Magic!
I bought the original magazine cutting routine which is great! I use it all the time.
But now this in my opinion is even better!
I just think it makes a lot more sense to change from kids pretend money to real money.
This is my new go to opener from now on! 💴
I love it!
Another great purchase from Monster and again superb service from Alex, arrived on Tuesday after ordering late Saturday afternoon.
A very informative tutorial comes with the wallet and gives a detailed explanation about 'breaking it in' in order to get the leather supple.
Lots of routines can be done including productions and disappearances, governed only by your own imagination.
Good quality leather, well packaged and a great product.
A beautiful utility with so many uses. As ever great service from Alex @ Monster !
I've seen very mixed reviews on this set so wasn't sure at first if i was going to get it, but im glad I decided to buy it. People don't carry coins as much any more so using poker chips for tricks I think is completely reasonable and shouldn't raise suspicion if you are giving a good enough story as to why you are using chips. I have the original sucker punch set and want to re-sticker them to match these so I can then work on some great routines. I won't be using everything in the box straight away (one or two are definitely more TikTok tricks) but everything is well made and I haven't even started the tutorial yet and am already impressed. I have a boy who is 8 and wants to learn magic, these are perfect for that, and even as someone who has been doing hobby magic for 20 years myself, I will be using these to fo tricks for friends and work colleagues and I really dont see an issue with them "not being coins".
I had the original of this trick but gave it to a friend who was a teacher to perform for her class and she moved away so I lost it. Nice updated version, just as visual and fun and can be performed for all ages.
Was performing this in less than 60 seconds from opening. I will watch the tutorial to learn the right way but it's easy to do and really baffled my kids. One you can do over and over and nobody will ever catch you out!
This is so worth it. it is the best needle through block effect on the market. it works flawlessly, creates amazing reactions and both the biscuits and condoms have a great hook depending on your audience. I use this in every close up gig at 50% of the tables. service from MM was amazing as always,
Now this is pure easy magic! Suitable for close up and could be played big on stage.
All the moves basically happen for you by the spector, with a bit of palming or misdirection you will be sorted! The ease of this allows you to work on your performance of it.
The tutorial is very well presented by Kyle Purnell and like the fact he went over left handed and right handed being a lefty with cards myself.
The main routine is so good to practice and looks good in front of the mirror.
Also Quick delivery from Alex as usual and the complimentary item I received from Alex was a nice surprise.
Exactly what was needed. Packs up small but is already ready when needed
Not really something I can see myself using often. Awkward hold of the gimmick and a bit too much on the faffy side for my liking.
As previous review states everything is excellent quality and so easy to do. The impact of the effect is incredible and I feel that is due to the weight, look and quality of every element of this trick
Exquisite props and a great routine. Am getting more and more into the story style magic effects and those put out by Matthew Wright are totally in my vibe.
This is now going to be the main way I get a peek using a non-electronic method. Mainly will use with Pocket Oracle. You do have to be slightly careful of angles but that is the same with most peeks.
