Mysterious Glasses by Yigal Mesika

Effect

The Mysterious Glasses trick creates the illusion of a pair of glasses floating, moving, or animating on their own. The performer can make the glasses rise from a table, spin in midair, or respond to invisible forces, all while maintaining a natural and impossible appearance. The effect is visual, surprising, and works well in close-up or social settings.

Full Details

The trick is part of Yigal Mesika’s Loops Legends collection, which includes:

• A 90-minute instructional video featuring multiple professional magicians teaching their signature routines.
• A premium pack of 8 Loops, essential for performing the effect.
• An InnerCircle Card, a compact carrying case that keeps Loops ready for use.
• A bonus PDF with advanced tips and illustrations.

The Mysterious Glasses routine is one of several taught in the set, focusing on levitation and animation with everyday objects. The method is not overly complex but requires practice to master lighting conditions and smooth execution.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

• Magicians who want to expand beyond card tricks and add visual, impromptu magic to their sets.
• Performers who enjoy close-up or social magic, as the effect works well in casual settings.
• Intermediate to advanced magicians, though beginners can learn it with dedicated practice.

Difficulty

The Mysterious Glasses trick is moderate in difficulty. The core technique is straightforward, but success depends on:

• Managing lighting conditions to avoid exposure.
• Practicing smooth movements to make the effect look natural.
• Handling Loops carefully to prevent breakage.

Scott Perry notes that while the moves themselves are not highly technical, "it's going to take you some time to become familiar and comfortable with the loops."

What Magicians Say

Scott Perry, a professional magician, calls Loops Legends a "perfect product" for those interested in loop-based magic. He highlights:

• "The reset is instant", making it great for impromptu performances.
• "The angles are very good", though lighting must be managed.
• "Pocket space is fantastic", as the InnerCircle Card fits in a wallet.

He also emphasizes that the material is valuable for all skill levels, saying, "There's so much gold on here that does get forgotten amongst the new things."

For magicians looking to add levitation and animation effects to their repertoire, the Mysterious Glasses trick is a strong option. The included resources provide thorough guidance, making it a worthwhile investment for serious performers.
