SleightfulMagic Review - Aroma by Marcos Waldemar & Ellusionist
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a glowing review of Aroma by Marcos Waldemar and Ellusionist, a unique magic trick that engages the sense of smell. Unlike typical visual magic, Aroma utilizes scent to create an illusion where a spectator perceives the fragrance they freely choose, even after the paper is removed. The $35 purchase includes a palmable gimmick holder, five scent samples (strawberry, lemon, pineapple, orange, and apple), and an extensive 90-minute tutorial featuring Marcos Waldemar, G Clark, and Peter Turner. The tutorial provides a plethora of performance ideas, ranging from a 'Vanishing Candy' routine suggested by G Clark to a PK routine and pseudo-hypnosis effect explored by Peter Turner. David emphasizes the trick's ease of learning and performance, suitable for beginners, and praises its originality and the sense of wonder it evokes. He notes the gimmick is easily palmed and highlights the rarity of surprising experienced magicians, as demonstrated by Peter Turner's reaction. David strongly recommends Aroma, considering the price reasonable and suggesting purchasing multiple sets for scent variety.
