Phantom (Stage) by Rezi, Hide & Sergey Koller

This video is a promotion for Phantom (Stage), a new stage prop created by Rezi, Hide, and Sergey Koller. The creators, known for their previous success with Prestige, are positioning Phantom as a practical and worker-friendly tool for animating portraits and revealing spectator thoughts. They emphasize its durability and ease of use, aiming to appeal to a wide range of performers. The core of Phantom is a customizable A3-sized (12 x 16.5 inches) frame that animates a portrait within it. A key selling point is that it’s constructed from plastic rather than glass, making it significantly more durable and less prone to breakage. The creators highlight that it’s designed to be easily portable, fitting neatly into a smart packaging box. They also stress that the portrait itself is fully customizable, allowing magicians to change what the figure in the portrait is holding, adding a layer of personalization. The video underscores that Phantom operates on purely mechanical principles, with no electronics involved, suggesting reliability and ease of maintenance. The setup takes only two seconds, and the prop appears as a regular picture and frame, allowing for seamless integration into various performance settings. Seven strong routines are included with the prop, offering a diverse range of presentation options. The creators clearly believe Phantom is a significant advancement in stage magic, drawing a direct comparison to their previous hit, Prestige. They express confidence in its appeal to working magicians, emphasizing its practicality and durability. The video includes links to purchase Phantom from TNT Magic, as well as a link to Murphy's Magic for free magic tricks. It also directs viewers to other videos on the channel, including 'Saturday Sorcery,' 'Full Uncut Performances,' 'Stumped,' and 'What's New This Week?'
