Forget Me Not by Grum

Effect

The Forget Me Not trick is a flashy production effect where a magician makes a necklace appear seemingly out of thin air. The performer wraps a piece of string around their finger, burns it, and in an instant, a necklace materializes in their hand. The effect is quick, visual, and leaves spectators wondering how the necklace could appear so suddenly.

Full Details

The trick includes a specially designed necklace with a zodiac-style pendant. The method involves a clever use of flash string (not included with the trick), which allows for the sudden appearance of the necklace. The routine is straightforward, making it accessible for performers who want a fast, impactful moment in their set.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

• Performers who want a quick, visual production effect.
• Magicians who enjoy incorporating jewelry-based magic into their routines.
• Those looking for a simple yet flashy addition to their close-up or stage performances.

Difficulty

The Forget Me Not trick is not difficult to perform. The method is straightforward, requiring minimal sleight of hand. However, performers will need to practice the handling of the flash string to ensure a smooth and convincing appearance of the necklace.

What Magicians Say

Mark Travis from SaturnMagicShop expressed skepticism about the originality of the effect, noting that similar necklace productions have been performed for years. He mentioned, "I’ve seen people like F Presto and others flush-producing necklaces like this for donkey years." However, he acknowledged that the trick is easy to perform and could be a worthwhile addition for those who like the effect.

While the trick may not be groundbreaking, its simplicity and visual appeal make it a solid choice for performers who want a reliable, eye-catching production. If you enjoy quick, flashy magic with minimal setup, Forget Me Not could be a good fit for your repertoire.
