Blind Fly by Eric Leclerc Review (Bloody Brilliant 😂)

This video is a review by Scott Perry of EverythingMagicPro, focusing on Eric Leclerc's "Blind Fly," a novel prop designed to elicit laughter and surprise from audiences. Scott clearly enjoyed the product, describing it as "bloody brilliant" and believing it could be the highlight of many performances. He emphasizes that while the prop is a bit pricey, the potential for comedic impact is significant. At its core, Blind Fly is a cleverly disguised blindfold that transforms into a pair of men's boxer briefs upon removal. The concept is simple yet unexpected, creating a visual gag that Scott believes can be incorporated into various performance settings, from comedy shows to more traditional magic acts. The prop comes with a QR code linking to approximately 19 minutes of instructions, though Scott suggests a URL would be more user-friendly. The package also includes playing card stickers (diamonds and hearts) that can be used to integrate the prop into a more elaborate card routine. Scott highlights several practical aspects of the prop, noting its ease of use and reset (5-10 seconds), lack of angle restrictions, and minimal pocket space requirements. He also echoes Eric Leclerc's warning to avoid making the routine feel "weird or creepy," emphasizing the importance of playful and charming presentation. While Scott finds the £44 price point somewhat high, he recommends Blind Fly for performers who appreciate a touch of absurdity and are confident in their ability to deliver the gag with charm and humor, believing it has the potential to be a memorable and laugh-inducing moment in any show.
