SleightfulEvolushin Magic Set by Shin Lim - Magic Review
Sebastian Tocamagic delivers a thorough review of the Shin Lim Evolution U Magic Set, aiming to provide valuable purchasing advice for magicians of all levels. This kit, priced at $49 USD, is designed to introduce the concept of gimmicks in magic, rather than relying on everyday objects. The set includes a diverse range of gimmicked props like an Anti-Gravitation Device, Magic Thread, Gimmicked Money, a Tic Tac Box, a Switch Box, a Vanishing Deck Box, Silk, a Sengali Deck, and more, enabling various illusions and effects. Sebastian highlights key techniques demonstrated within the kit, including card forces, a vanishing deck routine, spirit writing, Three-Card Monte, and the engaging "Final Destination" effect, perfect for social media. While praising the quality of certain gimmicks, particularly the vanishing deck box and invisible thread, he notes the kit's unsuitability for absolute beginners due to the lack of a standard deck of cards. Overall, Sebastian awards the set an 8 out of 10, recommending it for those with some magic experience seeking to expand their repertoire with prop-based magic.
