The enigma By Paulino Gil- close up magic demonstration

  

The Enigma By Paulino Gil a magic review, 

This effect was one of the first effects which i carry around with me almost all the time. Its a thing of beauty let me tell you. Its a baffling demonstration of something so ordinary like some strings but the overall effect makes you really wonder. Its probably the first effect i do when i meet new people who have not seen me perform before. Lets get cracking so i can give you the entire overview of this product.

Effect:

There are 5 routines in this effect, it involves placing the string in your closed palm and then having it to 5 pretty mind bending things. The string jumps from one finger to the next, the string escapes from a closed fist, the string is threaded with a solid metal chain and switches places , the string is threaded with another red colored string whereby not only does it switch places it also ties itself in the middle.

Method:

The method is a thing of immense beauty, you will need to know how to practice and present this effect if you are to do it. Although the method can be construed as simple the presentation of this effect as well as all the subtleties requires a little bit of thinking and inginuity.

Presentation:

The presentation of Mr Paulino,did not fit my style and i was rather stumped by how to present this in a manner that's interesting and intelligent. I love history so i tried to incorporate some elements of history into this presentation. It works for me, i believe if you can inject some of your own humor or ideas into this, it will be a powerful effect.

Design:

With the DVD you get 3 props which you can use, you will also be able to source for new props if the need arises. The design of this product and the props is basic and simple. There is nothing much to note about the design of the effect. Its made fairly well and is rather flexible with what you can do with it. 

My summary:

I was initially hesitant to purchase this item, as i thought how interesting could i make it. Its just a bunch of ropes jumping around. When i finally thought of a plot, i purchased this immediately. I have never looked back since, i perform this every time and anytime. Its awesome and if your looking for close up magic which is instantly reset, easy to carry around and interesting. Then this is it!
