Magic Review - Little Holes by Roddy McGhie

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of *Little Holes*, a unique gimmick from Roddy McGhie and N Quarter, distributed by Trick Trick Boom. This clever effect involves a gimmicked tuck case with cellophane, where black dots seemingly vanish and reappear, culminating in a striking reveal – the dots are actually holes in the case, which can be handed out for examination. David praises the effect's originality, spectator appeal, and the gimmick's durability, noting its accessibility for performers of varying skill levels. The package includes the gimmicked tuck case and a pen, with instructions for swapping it out. The teaching video, featuring Roddy McGhie, is 52 minutes long and includes overhead shots, with the core routine presented around the 15-minute mark. David highly recommends *Little Holes* as a worthwhile investment for magicians looking for a creative and well-constructed effect, especially considering its $52 price point. He also promotes his Magic Orthodoxy membership, offering exclusive content and tutorials for a monthly fee.
