Wizard Magic Review (June 3rd, 2026) gave The Void, 95 and 89 percent. They touched on it's capabilities to help perform Mizer's Dream style of routines with continuous productions.
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

Nothing to really inspect after. The review on everything magic pro said several times this is a really bad angle to be doing this. It was filmed straight on, the angle we all generally perform at. Since the focus is on the keyring people are probably going to want to inspect it in an up close situation. I've not seen any discussion of how inspectable the prop is. This review talks about one spectator questioning the gimmick. The spectator know that the prop has done the magic, so I'd be interested to hear whether it can be checked after. It seems like a fun toy, but not convinced it's offering anything better than I can do with sleight of hand. The everything magic pro review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDGq6rHZTIc |

I think this discussion is overlooking the role of misdirection.
Opening the gimmick while the hand is moving looks very different from what Scott demonstrates or what’s shown in the trailer (or generally on video!). If you’re not using it for coin work, the gimmick is completely examinable. I’m not claiming it’s some kind of killer pro-level utility, but it’s genuinely fun to play around with and explore. When the gimmick sits in the palm, there’s virtually nothing to see under the right conditions. At least for my hands, the gimmicks fit extremely well. |

I’ve been using the void for a few months now and I can confirm that it is very good
I think the Key thing is its versatility. Yes, you can use it for a mystery box however there is so much more than you can do as well. Honestly, the switch is completely imperceptible, especially when performed with a tiny amount of misdirection. I have a few uses for it that I will be sharing on my channel of the coming weeks, but I can highly recommend it. A few people have referenced Scott’s review. I haven’t seen it because I tend not to watch his reviews. However, it’s worth mentioning that this short was published by him straight after the Blackpool Magic convention. I’m not saying he has anything against Lloyd or that he would be biased in any way but it certainly an odd thing to post and seems to serve no purpose on a review channel. https://youtube.com/shorts/N8rQUJg5mGk?si=i8P1OuyF6FT6s94N Cheers Craig |

As mentioned above, Scott showed the switch in his review. I’m referring only to that specific moment and its technical execution.
Otherwise, he spoke very positively about it, although he also frequently mentions in the comments that it’s not really for him. |

How different is this from FOB by David Penn? Does it use the same methods?
Thank you.

Okay, just my 2 cents for what it's worth about 2 cents....I'm liking the void mostly because it looks like a very cool Every Day Carry (EDC) BUT it alsio looks very very sleight heavy, lotys of Knickle busting..I can do a force..I'm fairly well with tioming and misdirection BUT I CAN NOT do a mercury fold...and the misdirection with a merdury fold, so I guess I'll save my money...

MagiCal52 just score a card and then force it and that will solve the biggest issue you have.

I agree with Warren, I have trouble with the MCF but have an entire deck of half red backed and half blue backed pre scored cards. You could also control the selection to the top and go behind your back with the deck and “try to find” the card and just MCF it on top of the deck and come out with the folded card already hidden in your hand.

Unpopular opinion, but it looks like a "thing" made only to do a "thing" for the thing's purpose. In other words, it only exists to justify itself, sort of giving a solution to a problem we made in the first place, then retro-fitted to make it an "EDC".
And yes, we have many things like this. I don't like most of them. That said, I also detest double turnovers, double lifts (you'll never convince me they look fine), elmsley counts, etc. Yet legends use them well. So what do I know? I also hate the mystery card box (or whatever) plot. I'm also very bad at a MCF. I also am lazy and hate heavy procedure. I used to enjoy cannibal kings, too. Now that's just a "cute trick" to me. A trick. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. So on second thought, maybe you really should ignore me. Still this looks like a tool built to do something someone wouldn't normally carry without doing a trick with it. "Hey man! Where'd you get that.... photo holder? or ... whatever it is? I want to use it on MY keychain for.... well, I dunno. But I want one. Can it hold a vape you think? Otherwise I'll print a picture with my kids, cut it down to size, stick it in there, that way I can use my lockscreen for something else." |
