Rich,
No disrespect meant at all. That was my honest, initial reaction. It just didn't do anything for me at all. I found myself more interested and fascinated by the way in which the apparatus slid, flipped, and moved around. That stuff was way more interesting than the trick, in my opinion. I just thought it was boring, hence the "meh". But, again, the craftsmanship looks superb. My opinion. Not necessarily everyone else's.
It's all in the reflexes.

This is an illusion that is going to be in the inventory of many working illusionists around the globe. I rather fancy the variations to the original spiker style illusion. This looks like a real audience pleaser to me. Wish that I could afford one.

Dear All
Just a very quick response to say thank you for the great comments for The Secret Workshop promos and website. Regarding the exposure of the animatronic fingers: Showing this part of the illusion in no way exposes how the illusion works. However, I can understand it does expose a part of 180 that the lay public should not be aware of. I take both sides of the argument. 1. The average person would not look for, search or view the video. 2. Even if they have no interest in the videos, they should not be able to stumble across and view the details. The video was produced for the magic industry and that is why the animatronic unit was included. After much thought and consideration you will be please to hear that the footage has been edited to remove the animatronic section. As I am sure you can tell, we are all very proud of 180 and the work that has gone into the illusion. Mark Parker's original design and additional work has been outstanding and he continues to be a terrific guy to work with. The edit that includes the details of the animatronic fingers may be available at a later date with the inclusion of a password. The new 180 edit is located at http://www.youtube.com/user/SecretWorkshop Regards Phil Hitchcock The Secret Workshop Ltd |

I think it is unfortunate that you had to remove the video, it really showed that you were a notch over the competition. Now it looks like every other spiker illusion for sale out there. I think the paranoia in the magic realm on websites can be over the top. If people really want to know something that bad all they have to do is go to youtube, watch cable TV (MM) or look it up on any online library that has public available magic books. Well that's my 2 1/2 cents.
Nice product nontheless!

I clicked on the link above and the performance video looks the same to me. So I'm not sure what made it so different in your mind before the edit to change your opinion of the effect. Has the video been edited again? OR....are you just referring to the fact that the explanation of the hands has been edited out? This does not change the effect/presentation of the illusion. Blair

I had the pleausure to speak with Philp long ago before was released 180 and sadly we don't make it as I had to rush for new stuff.
I think Mark and Philp are a great team together and the craftmanship is excellent. Im sure that in the future we will have a lot of surprises from them! Really good job Philp! :)

Couple of comments about the 180 illusion. (I haven't seen the edited video).
The hands / fingers are (were) exposed on the video and in photos on his webpage. It really doesn't have to be in either spot, to sell the prop (or at least, before initial interest is shown). The video is accessable for the general public. Yesterday I saw the video posted on someone's facebook account. I'm sure that magician was connected to other magicians, but also lay people as well. Unfortunately, I don't remember who posted the link. Other than that, I think the illusion is good and the company looks great. - Donald

Having viewed the video in its original form, in my opinion it shows details that most professional illusionist probably would be asking during the inquiry process before ordering of the illusion. So to me explaining that its works with remote controls to release the doors and the use of fakes does not explain the true secret behind this illusion.
Phil is a very honest guy and would not set out to offend any fellow magician. He’s an exceptional craftsman and he puts a lot of time and effort into what he does extremely well. I know it will not please all magicians but he should be congratulated on a fantastic sales video I can admit it answered all my questions. I have had the honour of viewing this prop whilst working with International Illusionist Russ Stevens at the Blackpool Magic Convention earlier this year. I can confirm that there is more to this illusion than a remote control and fakes. Chris Bowyer |
