Effect

"My Touch" by BaKoRe Magic is a PK touch routine where the magician appears to influence a spectator's senses without any physical contact. The spectator closes their eyes, and the magician seemingly makes them feel touches on their body—even though the audience can clearly see no actual contact is made. The spectator is left baffled, convinced they were touched multiple times, while the audience knows the magician never laid a finger on them.

Full details

This trick requires no gimmicks, making it completely impromptu. It can be performed anytime, anywhere, even surrounded by spectators. The method is simple in concept but relies heavily on timing, misdirection, and psychological subtleties to make the effect convincing. Unlike some PK touch routines that require two participants, "My Touch" works just as powerfully with a single spectator.

The teaching material covers the nuances of performance, ensuring the magician understands how to sell the illusion effectively. The routine is highly adaptable, allowing for different presentations—whether framed as mind control, energy manipulation, or pure mystery.

Who should consider the trick

This trick is ideal for mentalists, close-up magicians, and performers who enjoy psychological illusions. It works well in both casual and formal settings, from street magic to stage shows. If you like routines that play with perception and leave spectators questioning reality, "My Touch" is a strong addition to your repertoire.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

While the method itself is straightforward, the execution requires confidence and precise timing. The subtleties in movement and presentation are crucial—without them, the effect may fall flat. Steve Faulkner notes that even after learning the method, some magicians might initially doubt they can pull it off. However, with practice, the routine becomes highly deceptive.

What magicians say

Steve Faulkner from RealMagicReview calls it "a brilliant routine" and praises its versatility, saying, "It's very strong... you can do it surrounded, anytime, anywhere." He also highlights the importance of the teaching material, noting that the subtleties make the difference between a good performance and an astonishing one.

He compares it favorably to Banachek’s PK touch routine, stating that "My Touch" offers a fresh approach while maintaining the same deceptive power. However, he cautions that the physicality of the routine may not suit every performer’s style.

Overall, "My Touch" is highly recommended for magicians looking for a powerful, impromptu mentalism effect that plays with perception in a clean and baffling way.
