Nique Tan Chats - Fragrance by Calix

Mentalist Nique Tan delivers a thoughtful review of 'Fragrance' by Calix and Magic Dream, a unique scent-based illusion. The effect centers around transferring a fragrance from one spectator's hand to another, creating a baffling disappearance and reappearance. The package includes a Sharpy-style marker and two spray bottles, with a readily available item needed for full execution (details on the Magic Dream website). Nique emphasizes the importance of performance choreography to sell the illusion, noting the surprisingly simple method and the strong scent which enhances the impact. He recommends it primarily for close-up performers, envisioning it in strolling magic or mix-and-mingle routines, and appreciates its engagement of the sense of smell, adding a unique dimension to the performance. Overall, Nique considers 'Fragrance' a strong and practical addition to a magician's repertoire, praising its ease of setup and surprising impact.
