Little Holes by Roddy McGhie and Noel Qualter - Review

This video is a detailed review of 'Little Holes,' a visually striking Matrix effect created by Roddy McGhie, Noel Qualter, and Trick Trick Boom. The effect involves four dots drawn on a black card that magically move, culminating in a surprising kicker ending where the dots transform into holes. The reviewer is incredibly enthusiastic, awarding it a 97% rating and declaring it their favorite Matrix effect. The package includes a well-designed box, an ordinary black playing card, a precision-made gimmick, a special Sharpie marker (requiring ink transfer), and a streamable tutorial. The 50-minute tutorial, presented by McGhie and Qualter, is comprehensive, covering construction, handling, and maintenance. It's highly practical for close-up and social media magic, though not ideal for large venues. The effect is considered relatively easy to learn, requiring about an hour of practice, and the $55 price is deemed reasonable. Despite minor drawbacks like the lack of a downloadable tutorial and potential Sharpie wear, the reviewer strongly recommends 'Little Holes' for its visual impact, clever design, and engaging audience reaction.
