The Shot Glass by TCC Magic & Jimmy Fan Review

This video is a thorough review by professional magician Scott Perry of "The Shot Glass," a new product from TCC Magic and Jimmy Fan. Scott delivers a detailed assessment, focusing on its practicality, ease of use, and overall value for magicians performing close-up or parlor magic. He emphasizes that while it doesn’t revolutionize the classic “wine from handkerchief” effect, it offers a well-designed and reliable solution for producing a drink. The Shot Glass is a prop designed to allow magicians to produce a filled shot glass from a handkerchief. It’s a modern take on a classic effect, allowing for the production of a real drink that can be consumed or examined by the audience. The design incorporates a unique, almost Mayan-inspired pattern on the glass itself, adding a visual element of intrigue. The package includes a uniquely designed shot glass with a distinctive pattern, a black cotton handkerchief, a cleverly designed plug mechanism, and a 17-minute instructional video. Scott acknowledges that while the core handling isn’t overly complex, mastering the effect requires practice. The reset time is estimated to be around 30-60 seconds. The video highlights that the trick works best with a traditional audience arrangement. Fortunately, the prop is compact and easily fits into a pocket alongside the handkerchief. Scott concludes that “The Shot Glass” is a well-thought-out and reliable product, praising TCC Magic for consistently delivering high-quality, updated versions of classic effects. He believes it’s a valuable addition to any close-up or parlor magician’s repertoire, offering a clean and direct way to produce a drink.
