Homebound by Peter Eggink

Effect

Homebound is a magic trick where a key or ring vanishes and then reappears in a surprising location. The effect is clean and visual, making it a strong piece for close-up or parlor magic. The audience sees the object disappear and then reappear in a way that defies explanation.

Full details

Homebound requires a specific setup and certain clothing to perform effectively. The method involves a clever use of everyday items, but the preparation is more involved than some other tricks. The trick is designed to be performed in a way that leaves no trace of the method, making it highly deceptive.

Who should consider the trick

Homebound is ideal for magicians who perform close-up or parlor magic and are comfortable with a more involved setup. It’s particularly suited for those who want a strong visual effect that can be performed in a variety of settings. However, it may not be the best choice for those who prefer quick, impromptu tricks.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The difficulty of Homebound lies in its setup and the need for specific clothing. The actual performance is straightforward once the preparation is complete. Magicians with experience in close-up magic will find it manageable, but beginners may need to practice the setup and timing to ensure a smooth performance.

What magicians say

Craig and Ryland from Magic TV reviewed Homebound and had mixed opinions. They appreciated the strong visual effect but noted the complex setup and specific clothing requirements as potential drawbacks. While the trick is highly deceptive, the preparation involved may limit its practicality for some performers.
