REPO by Tobias Dostal (Looks Like Real Magic!)

This video is a promotional showcase for REPO, a new magic effect created by Tobias Dostal. It's presented as a captivating demonstration of the routine, rather than a tutorial, focusing on the visual impact and spectator experience. Dostal himself is featured, enthusiastically sharing his thoughts and feelings about the effect. REPO involves a simple necklace that transforms into a key, engaging in impossible displays of appearing, vanishing, and swapping places, even while in the spectator’s hands. The grand finale involves placing the key and chain around a spectator’s wrist, making the key disappear, tossing an invisible key into the air, and then having it reappear on the chain. Dostal emphasizes the elegance and deceptive nature of REPO, highlighting its ability to create moments of genuine wonder and its versatility for various objects. He stresses that the effect isn't about the key itself, but about the experience it creates for the spectator, particularly when the magic happens in their hands. Dostal also touches on the philosophical aspect of magic, stating that the key symbolizes 'open possibilities' and that the magic lies in the spectator's imagination.
