Keith/niva, seriously, how about the clean up procedures? Can we easily get rid of the gimmick afterwards (topit, or cleaning/drying hands with hanky etc) in order to present it as a seemingly impromptu effect?

I broke down and bought this at the WMS, from the Stevens Magic booth. I was a bit surprised at the exact nature of the gimmick, but in retrospect, I probably shouldn't have been.
Yes, you can easily get rid of the gimmick afterward, once you get the handling down. I can't quite make it disappear well yet, for reasons I won't go into here, but it's a simple move. Once I get it down, I need to find a good place to perform it. In the right circumstances, it should kill. Well, not literally, of course. |

It can be done "impromptu" assuming you are set up to use it. The setup is rather easy, and can be done in a few moments, but not in front of the audience. So, it would have to be the first effect, or you will need a reason to turn away to get "set up" I'm planning to use this at our next Renaissance Faire. My usual costume didn't lend itself well to the "vanish" of the gimmick, but I've since modified my wardrobe to include a "Wizards Robe" with many yards of cover.

Well based on all the reviews I've ordered one from elmwood. I love the elemental nature of it. I'll let you know what I think.

Im gonna be real honest here, I bought Winter Spirit when it first came out, so I've had it for a while, I was disappointed in the method of making the gimmick vanish. As a younger magi (yes I was born in '84), the method of vanish does not work for my style etc. As soon as I opened the effect & read the directions, I dissasembled the gimmick & knew I would have to come up with my own handling for this effect (which I am currently working on). Im not going to totally knock the whole trick, as I feel the premice of Winter Spirit is a truly unique & dynomite creation! Although the method of making the gimmick vanish does not involve ANY sleight of hand, it is my own opinion that for some magi's, sleight of hand is a sure fire alternative to the method supplied in the instructions. BEFORE some of you jump down my throat, keep in mind I am merely saying that the supplied method does not work for ME! As a couple of you have mentioned the supplied gimmick and instructions suit you just fine, that's cool, but some people who buy Winter Spirit like myself, are going to agree with me and feel for themselves that revision is needed in order to comfortabley preform the effect! As a side note I will just say if you can find it for less than $70 it is worth buying, if at the least to challenge yourself into creating a clean alternative method of making the gimmick disappear.

I bought this as well, and tried it out a few times. I found the gimmick did not work for me, as is. I have yet to figure out an alternate method for the gimmick, so I haven't attempted to perform it for an audience yet. I'm hoping to figure something out today, so that I can try it out at my magic club's Christmas party.

Okay...I'm interested in this trick, but tell me, how big is the 'spirit ' itself? Is it some kinda small face that appears inside your cupped hands or is it big?

Yes, this is something that appears between your cupped hands. It's not that small, however. Creature is small. Winter Spirit is large; it takes up pretty much the entire space formed by loosely cupping your hands. At least it does with my hands, and I have medium-sized hands.
I ended up going with something else for the magic club party, however; I wasn't able to *find* Winter Spirit, let alone come up with an alternate method. My apartment is a bit of a mess right now and rather disorganized. |
