Effect

Rexness is a candle-based magic trick that creates a convincing illusion of heat and burning. The magician shows a candle and invites a spectator to place their hand over it. The spectator feels an intense heat sensation, as if their hand is being burned by the flame. The magician then demonstrates control over this sensation, making the heat disappear at will.

Full Details

Rexness uses a cleverly designed candle gimmick to simulate the experience of heat without actual burning. The effect is self-contained, meaning no additional setup or external heat sources are required. The trick is compact and easy to carry, making it suitable for close-up performances. The magician can perform it repeatedly, as the gimmick resets instantly.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Rexness is ideal for magicians who perform close-up or walk-around magic. It works well in casual settings, such as bars, parties, or social gatherings, where a quick, interactive effect can leave a strong impression. It’s also a good choice for performers who enjoy tactile magic—effects that involve the spectator physically experiencing something unusual.

Difficulty

Rexness is relatively easy to perform. The method is straightforward, and no advanced sleight of hand is required. However, presentation plays a key role in selling the illusion. The magician must convincingly sell the idea of heat and control over it. A well-timed performance will enhance the effect significantly.

What Magicians Say

Mark T from Saturn Magic describes Rexness as a "great little trick" that offers strong audience interaction. He notes that the effect is particularly engaging because it involves a physical sensation, making it more memorable than purely visual tricks. While he doesn’t go into detail about the method, he highlights its practicality for performers who want a quick, impactful effect.

Rexness is a solid choice for magicians looking for a simple yet powerful trick that plays big with minimal effort. Its reliance on sensory deception makes it stand out from standard visual magic, offering a unique experience for spectators.
