most over-rated magic trick

[themagicman]

What do u think is the most over rated magic trick out there right now. Don't forget to say why.:D

[seymourmagic]

infusion. It was so easy to figure out, and it's dvd was so short.

[mindfreak91]

i know i hate infusion so much thats why i made my coin thru glass

[Black Tiger123]

shapeshifter. anyone can figure out it was a spinning card. it was really stupid and it was like$30. a rip off. i am glad i did not buy it

[nitrox]

Actually shapeshifter is one of the best and most visual colour changes. Maybe you need to practice getting it smoother so it actually looks like magic.

[dj14]

:mad: Balducci frekin' levitation..... it sucks.



But others are awsome. Look at my new avatar:P

axis change no comment

[magicianjames]

yeah deffinately infusion

[SenseiMan]

To be honest, ShapeShifter is pretty good. But yeah, Balducci sucks.

[diego]

if u guys think infusion sucks then and its easy to figure out then u must suck at it i get awesome reactions with it i perform it like the creator on the demo

[rattsexy]

i like infusion but it takes some practice to get it right. i also like shapeshifter, even when people have a clue they still don't know how you did it so fast. i think the most over-rated for me is labelled. cool looking effect but way too much setup

[David Engel]

Shameful that people are saying the Balducci sucks. It is a classic. Doesn't matter if it is easy to figure out or it is revealed all over the internet. It is mindblowing when done right.

[Raphaelr]

I think... revolution? that seems not too good, and got soooooo much hype.

[diego]

axis change!!!!!!!

[devilzdj4]

agreed, so over-hyped.

[Raphaelr]

BOTH, axis change and revolution are overhyped, well, axis change isn't THAT hyped, and is horrible, revolution is ok, but WAY overhyped.

read my thread

Everything from or made by Ellusionist

Everything from or made by Ellusionist

How so? There should be a reason why.

So you say, Incedent, Stigmata, Fraud and more are over-rated?

[mindfreak91]

u no guys at the end of the day it really depends on the magician to make the real magic happen

yea i agree. it just depends on how you perform it and who you're performing it to.

[qwertymugg]

i seriously think revolution coin vanish was not worth the money! its a good trick but its overrated loads cause you can't make the coin appear again. Magicians are supposed to disappear stuff and make them appear again! Thats called the prestige! =)

[diego]

yea i agree. it just depends on how you perform it and who you're performing it to.

axis change you cant perform! only on cam.

[nitrox]

Of course you can perform it. It's angle sensitive but if you can control your spectator it is definitely performable.

[diego]

no its not i think you have never tried it on streets and no you cant perform it how about u try it

[nitrox]

I'm afraid that if you've tried it and haven't managed to do it, it's more your own fault than the effect. Honestly, it really is a very bad sleight. But it is by no means unperformable. If there is an angle where the effect looks like magic, then it is performable.

[TravisWalker]

you can perform it. they wouldnt make a trick that you can only perform to the camera. it might be a really suckish trick, but you can still perform it to an audience. just very angle sensitive

[Blake]

balducci and infusion for sure.

[Gabe]

hover card i hate it so much my freind got it and im like o kool, not that speicial, then i made a home made one and NEVER used it why dose E say its a "must have"

[diego]

hover card is awesome espeacially if you put double stick tape on your gimmick have a selected and signed card controll it to the bottome say look it jumped to the bottom and then make it hover!

[Gabe]

i even thought when i saw the demo that it sucked i just dont like it and it gets bad reactions dev when dose right (trust me when i did it, it didint just "flop" down it looks exactly like the demo im good at it i just really dont like it)

[Ngo]

i seriously think revolution coin vanish was not worth the money! its a good trick but its overrated loads cause you can't make the coin appear again. Magicians are supposed to disappear stuff and make them appear again! Thats called the prestige! =)

LOL i hope you're being sarcastic, cuz theres no such thing as a "Prestige" its a fictional magic performance element made up by the author of the book "The prestige" which was then adapted into a movie.

[BlindDodo]

I think stigmata is overated

[Ngo]

yeah it kinda is

[onyxthedog]

It actually shows very little on how to do anything that amazing
