Magic Review - The Experiment by Joel Dickinson
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of Joel Dickinson's 'The Experiment,' a visual magic trick centered around a matchbox and a die that magically switch places. The trick, available from hocus-pocus.com, includes a custom matchbox, die, and two cards. While the effect is visually striking and suitable for both live performance and social media, David emphasizes that it's not self-working and requires dedicated practice to master. He highlights the need for precise handling, balancing a card against the die, and effective misdirection. The trick is rated as moderately difficult, with a price tag of $40, and comes with an 18-minute tutorial video. David ultimately approves of 'The Experiment,' praising its visual appeal and potential, but advises magicians to assess their skill level and performance style before purchasing.
