The effects are direct and easy to see, making them ideal for close-up situations. Audiences see bands move on their own or pass through solid objects.

The routine is built from five separate tricks that connect smoothly. Each trick leads to the next, creating a sense of progression. The entire set is impromptu and can be done anytime, anywhere. It requires no table and fits in a pocket.
