The Effect:

What if you could manipulate the invisible?

Fragrance offers you to make your spectators live unforgettable sensory experiences based on smell! Calix is a French mentalist magician, a real worker who thinks, tests and transports his tricks and creations to a very high level. Creator of Sigaba and Social Assistant, the talented Calix offers us with FRAGRANCE, a new and truly original idea!

One word will resonate after your passage: IMPOSSIBLE!

And yet, what you are going to demonstrate to your audience is entirely possible with Fragrance and fits only in your pocket!

After greeting your spectators, you take out a small perfume sample type spray and let them smell it. Everything is totally harmless and well known to all. Let's take the scent Cherry for our example.

Everyone clearly identifies the scent coming out of this spray by smelling the liquid you have just placed in the hand of a spectator.

On the count of 3, the smell disappears, she can no longer smell it. Disturbance sets in. Has she lost her sense of smell? Is she under hypnosis? Is her brain playing tricks on her? As the good manipulator that you are and without the slightest effort, the smell returns to the heart of her hand and the spectator can smell the cherry again. Incredible. This operation can even be repeated a second time.

And that's not all. The next step will definitely finish off the most skeptical. Another snap of the fingers and this time, the cherry smell completely disappears for everyone. No one can smell this smell anymore, even though it's so strong and that you had obviously placed on the palm of the spectator a moment earlier.

Now you choose another member of the audience, ask them to hold out their hand, and, as incredible as it may seem, the perfume has traveled! You literally and simply place it in the palm of their hand. You read that right, you have just achieved the impossible, something totally intangible has moved from one hand to the other of the spectators and according to the timing you decide.

And you know what? “  If you can feel it, you can do it!”

YES! Because Fragrance is extraordinarily simple. The performance is full of little tricks that, at each stage, reinforce the spectators' beliefs and make your effect very impactful. These little "convincers" distilled throughout your act truly draw your spectators into a routine of pure magic.

Fragrance is much more than a trick. It is a tool that you will definitely integrate into your repertoire and that will never leave you because the effect is so strong on the one hand, but also because it allows you much more than a scent journey.

Here are some ideas:

Calix and the Magic Dream team with Yoan & Jeremy have put together a 1h30 explanatory video (in French or English) , with many ideas for applications, but also tips and advice to make your performance as memorable and impactful as possible.

Highlights:

Note that:

You can choose the scent you want to play with (cherry, strawberry, lemon, apple, cotton candy, etc.), and thus change it at will. In addition to what you will receive after your purchase, you will need to obtain an e-cigarette type liquid that you will find very easily in a specialised store or on the web. A refill allows you hundreds of performances. The sale of e-liquid, especially for export, being regulated, we are not authorised to provide you with this liquid but rest assured, it will only cost you a few euros (dollars) and is very easy to find.

“This is a really unique effect. Very well designed, easy to use and convenient to carry. If you are a close-up artist, this is really simple and ingenious. The method is so simple and you get a lot of effects! If you add this to your show, it will add texture, a different dimension. The effect is really powerful because it really seems impossible / inexplicable that the smell suddenly disappears from the spectator's hand. A strong act that you can add to your repertoire!” - Nique Tan Review

“If you carry a Sharpie around, it should be good for something. And this trick is REALLY REALLY great! It’s unlike anything else in your routine. Who else has tricks where you smell something? What power when we start doing tricks for the senses… This trick crosses all boundaries: close-up, parlor, mentalism. Very well designed and extremely easy. Fragrance offers so many opportunities!” - Magic Orthodoxy (Review)

““Love In Bloom” – Fragrance is a wonderful effect. I have always been looking for a number that involves the sense of smell. And now I have exactly what I was looking for. Happy to say that I used it in a show and it exceeded my expectations. We have a winner!” – Jon Stetson
