The Eye is a shocking close-up magic gag where the performer seemingly removes their eye from its socket, revealing a black gaping hole, then makes the eye appear in their mouth before reversing the effect. The trick includes a gimmick that allows for additional effects, such as pulling a coin from your eye or mouth, making it versatile for various performances. It's ideal for magicians looking to add a moment of levity or shock to their act, especially suited for Halloween or performers with a goth or geek aesthetic.
David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews 'The Eye' by Rocco Kult, a unique magical gag that creates the illusion of removing your eye and making it appear in your mouth. The product includes a gimmick for the eye effect, a piece for creating a holdout, and an 18-minute tutorial video. The gimmick is bloodshot and three-dimensional, with a coin side for additional tricks like pulling a coin from your eye or mouth. The video tutorial covers various handlings, including making your eye go down into your mouth and popping it out. David discusses the product's suitability for performers who enjoy adding moments of weirdness or shock to their acts, mentioning its potential use in Halloween performances or by those with a goth or geek aesthetic. However, he notes that the trick may not work well with glasses and requires their removal for full effect. The review is positive, highlighting the product's creativity and versatility, though it acknowledges its niche appeal.
