What Magicians Say

Eric Stevens, the creator, emphasizes that the Tro meets his criteria for daily-carry magic: "It needs to be fast, it needs to be simple, it needs to be visual, but most importantly, it needs to be magical." The involvement of Craig Petty, who developed routines specifically for the Tribloon (a related product in the same range), suggests that the Tro is versatile enough for creative applications. The live launch event and exclusive trailer indicate strong anticipation within the magic community.
