The latest episode of the Alakazam Review Show dives into three intriguing magical items: LS Buttons by Leo Schmers, Loki by Adam Dadswell (a recent release), and Unbroken by Tenyo Magic. Hosts Emma and Harry thoroughly assess each effect, showcasing performances and sharing their honest opinions. LS Buttons receive high praise for their quality and versatility, offering a fantastic alternative to using foreign currency in coin routines and even including a charming vintage-inspired routine. Loki is hailed as a “wicked” and “sublime” effect, with a captivating contract and reveal that impressed even Chris Kenna and David Copperfield. Finally, Unbroken, a visually striking effect from Tenyo, involves the restoration of a broken mirror, though the hosts advise it's best suited for single performances due to the setup and reset time, comparing it to an 'Ikea job'.
