Effect

The Equalizer is a small speaker system designed for magicians. It plays sounds at key moments in a trick to enhance the effect. For example, it can make a bell ring when a chosen card is revealed or play music when a small box vanishes. The sounds are timed to match the magician's actions, making the magic seem more real.

Full Details

The Equalizer includes a magnetic speaker that can be attached to clothing or props. It has 28 pre-loaded sounds, such as bells, music, and glass breaking. Users can also add custom sounds using a Micro SD card. The device vibrates before playing a sound, helping the magician time the effect correctly.

The kit comes with extra items like Svengali cards and a music box prop. It also includes cables for attaching the speaker to different parts of the body. The battery lasts for a full performance and charges with a micro USB cable.

Who Should Consider the Trick

The Equalizer is best for magicians who perform regularly and want to add sound effects to their acts. It works well with tricks like vanishing objects, spirit slates, and mentalism routines. The price and learning curve make it better for professionals than beginners.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

Using the Equalizer requires practice to sync the sounds with the trick. The speaker vibrates before playing a sound, so timing is important. The tutorial is 1.5 hours long and covers setup and performance tips. Some users may find the tutorial hard to follow because it is split into sections without timestamps.

AlakazamMagicUK calls it "handy" and "user-friendly" but says syncing sounds with a performance takes practice.

Henry Ferris, a young magician, includes the Equalizer in his list of essential tricks. He likes its ability to create impossible sounds.

All reviewers agree the Equalizer is best for serious performers who want to add sound effects to their magic.
