Axel Hecklau took a prop that has been around for a while, designed it to function much better and then found a way to use it (in the mouth) that is 1000 times better than the original.
I highly recommend it! Kevin |

The online demos show exactly what this effect is and how it looks when performed. Axel shows a studio performance and a live show performance available to view.
The prop is based on something that has been around for years. Axel says he found the old prop wasn't usable for the effect it was originally sold for and redesigned it and came up with a completely different effect for it. I never cared for the old effect of the spoon and fork changing places while in the pocket but I was very impressed with Axel's take on this. A spoon is placed into the mouth and turned around using your hand. This is then repeated without using your hands and when the spoon is removed from your mouth it is seen to have changed into a fork. The gimmick is well made, the routine well thought out, the handling pretty straight forward and easy to do, and the instructions on the dvd are clear, comprehensive, well presented and easy to follow. I have read elsewhere that some people think this item is overpriced. I am sure that this is because they are comparing it to the other (cheaper) version of the same basic prop. However the other versions I have seen of this prop are just that.... cheaper and having the flaws that Axel points out. They are consequently not as workable. It's always a hard thing to put a value on something. I already have a place allotted for this effect in my show and I am more than happy to part with my money for Axel's idea using this prop. The fact that my money also gets me an excellent and well manufactured prop with which to perform the effect is, for me, a bonus. Recommended. Neal

Though the prop is not new, it has been redesigned & refined by Axel for a better, more practical and ease of handling. The prop is much reliable now.
Axel has put in a lot of thought so as to make the performance enjoyable & entertaining. Nice performance.

I've just bought it and I have to say it's brilliant! Easy to do (once you've got used to turning a large spoon in your mouth) and I've some great reactions. As a hobbyist performing for friends & family who've seen loads, I can honestly say I've had jaws hit the floor, wonderful!

Another happy customer.
The slight modifications of the original gimmick make a huge difference! |
