Quiver by Kelvin Chow and Glitch Studio

Effect

Quiver is a magic tool that allows magicians to perform impossible changes and visual transformations with everyday objects. The effect is completely hands-off, meaning spectators can handle the pouch and objects themselves, making it highly deceptive. It looks like a regular leather coin pouch, blending seamlessly into daily life, but it enables magicians to switch or transform objects in ways that seem impossible.

Full details

Quiver is a compact, well-made leather pouch designed for both everyday use and magic tricks. It can automatically switch objects, allowing for effects like transforming a torn card into a whole one or switching coins. The device is versatile, suitable for visual magic and mentalism routines, such as secretly swapping lottery tickets. It works at any angle and has an instant reset time, making it adaptable for any performance setting. The pouch comes with a 30-minute tutorial that covers multiple routines, helping magicians master its use quickly.

Who should consider the trick

Quiver is ideal for magicians and mentalists who want a practical, versatile tool that can be used in both close-up and stage performances. It’s especially useful for those who perform visual transformations or mentalism effects. The pouch’s organic design makes it suitable for everyday carry, so it’s perfect for magicians who want a tool that doesn’t look out of place in casual settings.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

Quiver is easy to use after some practice. The included 30-minute tutorial provides clear instructions on how to perform various routines, making it accessible even for beginners. However, good lighting is recommended to ensure the effect is visible, which may require some adjustment depending on the performance environment.
