I received an ad in my inbox today regarding an effect called Option 100 - Steven Bridges. Anyone familiar with it? https://magicmastery.cc/option-100/

Not familiar with it but seems to have potential as a useful tool.

Certainly sounds interesting. Ken Dyne recommends it, apparently. I wonder what the trade-off is though. There always is at least one, right? It sounds a bit too good to be true in the ad. Even though technically it all might be true. Will wait for some reviews

Be good with 2 specs. Two forces, one with digital force bag and other with real force bag and both predictions match.

Too bad there’s no video. I wonder how this compares to amazebox.

I will say that I am not very excited about performing with this tool as your force is not 100% which in my mind changes the dynamic. I watched the explanation vid and this will be going in my "never use again" video folder. The Amazebox is much better and it is what I will continue to use in my shows.
There is a place for option 100, but again you are not guaranteed that the spectator will pick the forced item. I bit the bullet as it was only $15. |

Let's just say it's not 100%. Outs are given, but that does not help as you are trying to force at 100%....as a mentalist I need 100%

That should’ve been mentioned very clearly IMO. If it says you can force smth and it is “reliable”... that’s misleading.

That is unbelievable. Super misleading. Practically criminal IMO.
Thanks for the heads up Michael Graves. |

CHRISTIAN GRACE Magician, Creator of Level One This is such a brilliant, disarming and totally fair-looking selection method. The utility method is something magicians and mentalists can apply to so many different routines. That's the beauty of it. KEN DYNE Mentalist, Author of Bairne Around 8 minutes into the tutorial I had to grin when I realized how devious the method was. Great effect and great method, lots of lovely subtleties! Can't wait to use this. BENJI WILKINS Magician, Mem Deck Expert A neat alternative to a force bag. (& therefore minus any fiddly bag handling). I dig it. SAM COLEMAN Mentalist & Actor |
