Hi Guys

If you were at Magic Live last week I’m sure at one point someone came up to you and said ‘Have you seen the guy do the thing with the coin in the eye’? For Craig and I that person was Shawn Farquhar who said it was the craziest thing he had ever seen. So when Craig woke me up in the early hours of the morning and said ‘The guy with the coin in eye trick is downstairs and wants to introduce himself on The Wizard Product Review I grabbed the camera and headed downstairs.

Tony Star kindly gave us permission to introduce the world to his incredible effect – iSight. Be warned! This ‘illusion’ is not for the squeamish. If you’re the sort of person that doesn’t like blood or operations on the TV you will not want to watch this. Do Not Try This Yourself!!!!

That was freakin' NASTY!!!!!!

That IS strong magic. Or illusion, let them be the judge. Not for everyone. Magicians like Dan Sperry and Sean Fields might do this.

I don't get it.

What the crap?!? That is really one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Is that seriously completely real?

This looks great for restaurant work and walk-around kid shows!

You could combine it with PureSmoke from Ellusionist for an even bigger punch.

And you wanted to show us because ....??

That was cool. will 99.999% of people be able to do this? ummm, no

That's not really magic. I only hope children won't be indulging in this stupidity as I know the WPR has many young fans.

OMG!!

Oh man... I've seen a lot of stuff, but that had me cringing.

Due to the profanity filter, I cannot express how I really feel here.

That was f*^king ridiculous.

Say what you will about Tony's performance, but the illusion (and method) left me speechless. It is seldom that I get a bit squeamish watching a geek/shock illusion. I was definitely cringing watching that.

F

Where is the magic here?

I dare to say that I can handle a lot but this is too much and too bizarre...
I'm not shocked but this is not magic, maybe something for a fakir but not a magician.

GOT MAGIC? I am not sure about this one? Certainly not going to work it into my routine.

I feel ill and I didn't even watch it!

After watching this video there was one thing I learned for sure. HIs name is Tony Star. Which he told everyone like 5 times. That's S... T.... A... R.


He's got an interesting character.

This falls in the same lines of swallowing a pool ball or the "ability" to eat needles and a thread then regurgitate the tread with the needles on it. Not necessarily "magic power" but certainly demonstrating feats of incredible human skill.

Throughout history, these feats have become some of the most memorable acts for magicians to perform. iSight pushes the envelope even further. Although it may not be a magic trick, this is certainly AWESOME!

I just talked to Tony and he said that Mr. Blaine and Mr. Angel are in a bidding war for the rights to preform this on TV.

It's funny. I watched this earlier with a friend of mine - he's more of an aquaintance actually - and he knows NOTHING about magic.

I was actually wincing and cringeing throughout but, more importantly, so was he. It's definitely an engaging performance.

Is it magic? Well, that's certainly up for debate. Where we still talking about it half an hour later? Yes we were!

I say if it shocks, it rocks! Well done Tony Star!

All the best,

Dave.
