SleightfulRoo's Reviews 'Hacker' Les French Twins ❌ Jeet
Roo provides an in-depth review of 'Hacker', a tech-based magic effect by Les French Twins and Jeet, which leverages Wi-Fi signals to reveal information like playing cards or names directly on spectators' phones. Initially skeptical, Roo was impressed by the device's real-world performance, highlighting its offline functionality, dual phone reveal feature, and the impactful 'glitch' effect. Despite early connectivity issues, especially with Android devices, firmware updates have significantly improved its reliability. Roo praises the custom name reveal as a standout feature for mentalism, though he notes the device's limited range makes it best suited for close-up performances. With a price tag of £200, Roo believes 'Hacker' is a worthwhile investment for professional magicians seeking a modern and baffling reveal.
