Reverb by Iain Bailey

"I'm kicking myself! This is killer!" - Nicholas Lawrence

So, Reverb. You take your Apple AirPods, do a bit of waving about, and suddenly one of them's playing hide and seek. It goes from one hand to the other, or back to your ear like it's got a mind of its own. It's not psychic, but it does mess with people's heads a bit.

The Effect:

• Phase One: You're holding an AirPod in each hand. Blink, and one sneaks over to the other hand like it's on a mission.
• Phase Two: They're clicking together in your fist, then poof, one's back in your ear. Like magic, but with less mystery and more tech.

If someone wants to check those AirPods, hand 'em over. Good luck to them finding anything odd.

What's in the Box?

• A pair of non-working display model AirPods 4 (for when yours need a break from playing Spotify)
• A gimmick that quietly does the sneaky stuff for you

If you're already packing AirPods, just get the gimmick. Reverb's a neat way to add a bit of magic to your day without looking like you're trying too hard. Honestly, not sure why people keep falling for it, maybe because earbuds are supposed to be boring, not magical. Yet here we are.
