Lumen by Clément Di Natale & Ellusionist Review (The TRUTH)

Scott Perry delivers a detailed and honest review of 'Lumen' by Clément Di Natale and Ellusionist, a clever effect where a magician seemingly controls an iPhone's torch with their mind. The effect involves a spectator handing over their phone, allowing the magician to turn the torch on, off, or adjust the brightness without physical contact. The package includes a digital download with 45 minutes of clear instructions from Clément Di Natale. However, Scott raises significant concerns about the product's marketing, pointing out several crucial requirements not explicitly mentioned by Ellusionist, including an iPhone, an NFC chip, the Shortcuts app, an unlocked phone, and internet access. While acknowledging the effect's potential – its lack of angle restrictions, quick reset time, and minimal pocket space – Scott strongly advises potential buyers to be aware of these hidden requirements and the misleading marketing, believing a more transparent presentation would have been beneficial.
