Hi magic Café'
This is a product I created called "Room Service" This effect is so cleverly designed. "Room Service" is a great opening to your stage and parlor show. You can literally walk on stage with the empty room service tray and start producing a glass of liquid, lit candle, rose and last a bundle of grapes. No trap doors or trick tables used here. Within 40 seconds of walking on stage, you would have already taken an introductory bow, made the wine, candle, rose, grapes appear and you're now giving a thank you bow all in 4o sewconds time. Here is a recent video of room service that was filmed at "Indy Magic Monthly"http://indymagicmonthly.com/ "Room Service" is in the very beggining of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF97fz0kI50 For those that might have interest in performing at "Indy Magic Monthly. Here is the producer of the show, Taylor Martin's contact. (taylor@indymagicmonthlydotcom (when email put ., not dot com. That's to prevent spam and robots) Here the the original tariler of "Room Service" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgnoHDntifs Description: The magician picks up a folded cloth that is resting on his magic table. The magician tosses the cloth in the air, catches it and then shows both side of the cloth to be empty. The magician then drapes the cloth over his/her hand and then reaches under the cloth and magically produces a full glass of wine. You can use wine, juice, milk or any liquid of your choice. You take a sip of the liquid out of the glass and set the glass down on the “Service Tray.” Using the same cloth the magician next produces a candle, he/she sets the candle down on the “Service Tray” Next the magician produces a rose from the cloth. He/she smells the rose and then sets it on the “Service Tray.” The magician then gestures for a round of applause but quickly directs his/her attention to the cloth he’s still holding. The magician reaches into the cloth and produces a bunch of grapes. The magician places the grapes onto the “Service Tray.” As a grand finale the magician reaches for one grape. He eats it and at the same time the magician reaches for the candle on the service tray. The magician is now holding the candle. And quicker than a wink…a lit match suddenly appears. The magician lights the candle and places it back onto the “Service Tray.” He/she picks up the glass of liquid, raises the glass upwards toward the audience, takes a sip, and receives a well-received applause. YOU HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED "ROOM SERVICE." In this effect you’re the host/hostess and the audience are the guests. Props included with "Room Service" 1. Service tray with no slip drink mat.

Great way to open a show or make a toast to the guest of honor. 13. Repair. Yes! Repair. Let’s face it! Magic effects break when you're on the road traveling. Things do break! Although this effect was made with quality in mind props can break and become damaged. Because of past experiences with props breaking or becoming damaged with use, I have included detailed instructions on how to repair your props. I cover all the technical details on the DVD included with the effect. This segment of the DVD was thought up for the working magician in mind. Thoughts and notes from the inventor: Why did I invent “Room Service” and what do I like about it? I have always loved making liquid appear. I remember when I first saw it performed. I thought how magical it looked. By seeing it performed, I was inspired to start performing it myself. I learned various gimmicks and techniques and I found many of them not consistent or reliable. At times, I might struggle with getting the gimmick off or it might leak or slip off, prematurely leaving a puddle on the middle of the stage floor. Have you ever experienced any of that before? I have and this is why I invented “Room Service.” After extensive research, I came up with the special manufactured material that I call the “No Spill Seal Gimmick.” When I first came up with the "No Spill Seal Gimmick," I was even amazed at the strength and reliability it has. You can literally shake whatever liquid you have upside-down in the "No Spill Seal Gimmick" and it WILL NOT SPILL! I am so confident in the “No Spill Seal Gimmick” that I will give it a life-time warranty. If you have any problems using the gimmick, or it is leaking, just contact me. I’ll be happy to walk you through the necessary set–up either through email or via skype. Sometimes it’s just a simple adjustment to stop it from leaking. If it needs to be replaced I will replace it. All you have to do is send the damaged “No Spill Seal Gimmick” to me in the mail and I will replace it. After I came up with the method of making the liquid appear in a consistent, smooth production, I started thinking about what I could do to make it different and stand out from other liquid productions. I sat back and studied my demo videos of me performing the effect. One day after watching my demo performance of producing the wine glass, I had an idea! Why not produce a rose? I figured out the mechanics and in the process I thought it would add to the effect to add a candle. After the candle was added to the effect I thought adding grapes would complete the visual I had hoped for. Finally, I thought about the effect of making the candle appear. I decided to try to install a built in match pull on the candle. Having the wine, candle, rose and grapes appear reminded me of being a guest in an elegant hotel. And that's why I like "Room Service." I think my favorite part of the effect is how I came up with making all these items appear. It truly looks magical. I'm very proud of the built in match pull that is on the candle. It adds to the amazement of the audience when they suddenly see a lit match appear. A lot of heart and soul went into “Room Service” and I take pride in this effect. I think the real working magician as well as amateurs will like this effect and find it classy and fun to perform. . |

Just awful. Obvious loading and the load itself is totally unimpressive. Plus you get to see how to not fake chew a fake grape. All for $100! Imma gonna get me.....absolutely none. Zero out of ten.

Magic is difficult enough, aren't we supposed to be supportive? BTW, John Lovick did a similar production of a glass with liquid and it got nothing but cheers from the audience. |

I love these types of productions. Viktor Voitko has a nice one with a gimmicked table that looks great but costs eight times as much. Agree that the main load looks a bit telegraphed in the trailers, but I wonder if you could fix that by working with it a bit, incorporating some misdirection, etc. For the price, I'm very tempted to get this to play with it to see what happens. Seems like a modest investment for the props and instruction. Thanks for putting this out, Mark.
Now appearing nightly in my basement.

Did Lovick get cheers from an audience of magicians? If I say your trick is really good and its not what kind of support am I giving you? |

I can't remember the last time I ordered a little bunch of grapes, a glass of wine, a rose and a little tiny odd looking candle on a platter from room service. If the originator of the trick can't do it properly that speaks volumes. The trick is not deceptive in the least and perhaps the poor acting and manipulation skills just add to it. Based on the other mediocre tricks this guy has put out I'd give this a pass, but its your hard earned money. |

I feel that the extra stuff makes the effect worse at least if presented in that slow manner without any more choreography. The production of the wine is nice and the props beautiful but the stuff resting under the cloth after the first production looks bulky. Except from that, candles and roses can be made to appear and vanish more impressively and freely.
I would say that less would be more. |
