Product description : I’m a big fan of telekinesis effect, I think they’re very strong and play quite well in a good ambiance. Darryl is known to have created a few effects making objects move, such as Movemint. This is latest release, which a full PK kit, including a main gimmick and a few accessories. You will be able to move objects, to make other penetrate through glass. But is this worth the asked price ? Let’s find out through this review.
Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $60 and you can find it in nearly every Murphy's magic « partner » shop !
What you get : You get a very nice little cardboard box, with all the writing in metallic ink, really nice packaging, as usual with all Murphy’s products. Inside, you get a link in order to watch the explanation video, it’s really well made, well shot and well edited. You learn a few routines with it, the ones you see in the trailer, they’re well taught by Gregory Wilson. Not all of them are good but most of them. You also get a lot of stuff ! Of course, you get the main gimmick which is well made, and really strong, you can adapt it to fit better your finger so it hold nicely. You also get a bunch of gimmicks, a few magnets, a magnetic mediator, and a magnetic stone. For the price, you do get a lot of things, I can see the real added value of this. I don’t think you will be disappointed with it.
The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS :
[if !supportLists]· [endif]The gimmick is not as invisible as the Silent Assistant by Sansminds for example but it’s much more stronger ! So you have to know for which use you want this.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Because of the strength of the gimmick, all the stuff which are of course attracted by it won’t stay in place in the box and it can sometimes break one or several gimmicks provided. But everything is covered in the video, you have to take care when opening the box.
THE PROS :
[if !supportLists]· [endif]The gimmick is really strong so you’ll be able to do telekinesis tricks, which you couldn’t do with SA for example.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]I like that you can adapt the gimmick to fit your finger better, you can bend it slightly so the curve will fit your finger.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]The routine taught are very clever, and I think that they can act as a spark for your imagination to come with new routines.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]It’s better than a PK Ring because you don’t have any jewellery on you, you can load and ditch it easily and it blends quite well in your hand.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]They provide you with an extra gimmick which fit in your back pocket so you can ditch and load the gimmick with ease.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]With the stuff provided, you can easily load a borrowed object with one of the gimmick so you can use it in conjunction with the Control main gimmick. So you can really use this with anything : a rolled up bill, a post it note.
Overall rating : I like this a lot, even if it’s not 100% invisible, it’s like a TT, nobody will notice it. I like the way the gimmick is built and its strength, 3/4 hearts.
As for the difficulty level, it depends on what you’re planning to do, I would say 2/5 stars.
