MB

Effect

The MB trick creates a moment of organic, natural magic that feels completely impromptu. Imagine sitting in a park with a flower, plucking off its petals one by one while saying "she loves me, she loves me not." Once all the petals are gone, you place the stem into your fist where the petals were collected. With a magical gesture, you open your hand to reveal the petals have reattached to the stem, restoring the flower to its original state. The effect is a beautiful, unexpected moment of wonder that feels like pure magic.

Full details

The MB trick is a clever use of a classic magic prop, the Thumb Tip (TT), to create a visually stunning and emotionally engaging effect. The trick involves a flower, which you pluck petal by petal, seemingly destroying it. The petals are collected in your hand, and the stem is placed into the same hand. With a magical gesture, the petals reappear on the stem, restoring the flower. The trick is designed to feel completely organic, with no visible props or setup, making it perfect for impromptu performances.

Who should consider the trick

The MB trick is ideal for magicians who enjoy performing close-up magic in natural, everyday settings. It’s particularly well-suited for those who want to create emotional, memorable moments with their magic. If you’re someone who likes to perform for friends, family, or in casual environments like parks or cafes, this trick will fit seamlessly into your repertoire. It’s also a great choice for magicians who appreciate the elegance of simple, yet powerful effects.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The MB trick is relatively easy to perform, especially for magicians who are familiar with the Thumb Tip (TT). The handling is straightforward, and the trick relies more on presentation and timing than complex sleight of hand. However, like any magic trick, it requires practice to ensure the movements look natural and the effect is convincing. The key to success with this trick is in the storytelling and the emotional connection you create with your audience.

What magicians say

Marc Spelmann, a well-known magician and mentalist, shared his experience with the MB trick, saying, "When I did it on my ex-girlfriend, she was not expecting magic in that moment. She thought we were just sitting there doing some weird 'loves me, loves me not' thing, and then I just went, 'Oh no, definitely loves me,' and I gave her the restored flower. It was an amazing moment of organic, natural magic." This highlights the emotional impact and the surprise factor that the MB trick can deliver. The trick’s simplicity and elegance make it a favorite among magicians who value creating genuine, heartfelt moments with their magic.
