I've just seen this advertised on Facebook.
Here's the trailer and the blurb: https://vimeo.com/212629962 STRETCH ARMSTRONG : The magician animates his cartoon of a stickman on a signed playing card, then jaws drop as the stickman remains stretched. Finish by handing the stretched stickman to the participant as a souvenir. BURNED AGAIN : The best take on the burnt and restored match plot available. CONTAGIOUS : A selected card becomes infected with spots, then a series of baffling visual magic follows, finally the spots become holes and it looks incredible. THROUGH : Manipulate ink drawn on your finger, this is a visual delight. The subtleties taught make this 110% more impossible. This is so good my brother is about to get this piece of magic permanently tattoo'd. I like Joel's stuff (Firefly, One in Six, Stratagem, Volition etc) but they tend to be sleeper hits. I was lucky enough to see earlier versions in development and both the match thing (Burned Again) and the hole card (Contagious) caught me off guard. Looks like more good commercial stuff from Joel. 4 items for £10? That's cheap as chips! Check is out at http://www.tadaa.co.uk/ourshop/prod_5992626-The-Trix.html

I just bought it, the visuals are perfect for a show I'm putting together, particularly Through. I'll report back in a couple of days. I can't imagine any of these will be bad,I've only bought Volition so far but that is a great piece that is always in my arsenal now, probably like these will be.

I am a big fan of Joels thinking, his effects are always simple and direct and his prices give true value for money.
I think this will be yet another hit from him, he does not dissapoint. Best Wishes Michael

Just had a watch of the video. I can see me doing Burned Again and Through. I like the fact that they're super visual, off the cuff and you can't see what's coming. I'll be adding them to some other effects as extra icing. Stretch Armstrong is a fun one for something different if people have seen you before. Honestly, for the money this is a no-brainer.
Well done Joel! Wardy |

Thanks for the great feedback. I'm really happy with the effects, they're all very strong pieces of magic.
I'm glad you all felt it was worth the fee, I purposely kept the price low for everyone. Joel.

The effects have already been listed above so we know what to expect.
Now how does the stuff work ? Are the methods practical, does it look as good in full performance, would I use any of the 4 effects ? Well all I can say is Joel has released another excellent product & the asking price is for nothing as in my opinion he could have put a bigger price on this. I watched the routines & had some ideas method wise but as usual the full solutions & little subleties which Mr Dickinson added were even better. I was wrong about two things in two of the effects & Joels method was much better than what I had came up with. These are highly visual effects. They are not routines with lots & lots of phases that go on for an eternity & I for one am pleased about that as in the real world you have to get around a lot of people during a drinks reception or before the food comes or before they go for photos at a wedding. This material hits the mark. I WOULD & WILL DO THESE WHEN I AM GETTING PAID TO DO MAGIC & I WANT THE PEOPLE WATCHING TO SAY BLOODY HELL HAVE YOU SEEN THE MAGICIAN? HE'S EXCELLENT, GO & WATCH HIM. Thank you Joel for consistently putting out quality , visual magic which people will use to impress. You are going to make ME LOOK GOOD AGAIN.

Thanks a lot for your feedback Mike, I'm glad you're happy with The Trix.
The Trix is now available from penguin magic http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/8325 These are full routines. This is eye candy for an audience and the effects/routines all have a solid structure in method and effect. Joel.

I've been asked if Contagious is a quick fire trick. It is a full routine and the effect it's self is fully justified. This is not just a flash in the pan, this is a wicked four phase routine and the phases get stronger as the routine goes on and what's more, the effect is automatic.

I just purchased this from Penguin and watcehd the complete online video. All I can say is that The Trix is one of my favorite magic purchases this year. All of these unique effects are very visual and extremely well thought out. Ater performing each routine, Joel does a great job explaining each effect in detail. You will need to some some preparation for each effect, but not difficult. Joel explains and shows how to do the prepartion. He is very patient showing and describing the prepartion and in his explanation of the how to perform the effects. I was very impressed with his approach and demeanor. The camera work is terrific, too. This is a real bargain at $12.00. Highly recommended.
Michael

After watching this I'm glad I purchased this. Performed through to my girlfriend and son last night and totally fooled them badly, my girlfriend said it had to be a gimmicked sharpie lol.
Got an idea for burnt again which should make it even cleaner(not that it needs to be) but if it works I will send it to you joel. This is the first time I've purchased any of Joel's work and certainty won't be the last! Kieran |

Michael, to hear its your favorite purchase of the year made me smile. Kieran, I would definately love to hear your idea for Burned Again, sounds exciting. Thanks again, Joel.

I love the arrow through the circle effect! Very nice!
If you just add a little stem to the top of the circle, it becomes the arrow through the apple. nice work, man. kj |

Thanks a lot Tazbo that's very nice of you.
1kj, that's a neat idea. I have tried various ink changing effects.. An arrow through a heart also looks good but your apple idea has a certain charm to it. Thanks both. Joel.

Another great release from Joel. Looking forward to performing contagious this weekend. His ideas remind me of early sankey. Simple ideas with visually effective results and perfect for a performing magician
