Optix Pro by Henry Harrius and Tobias Dostal - Magic Review

Sebastian Tocamagic delivers a thorough review of Optix Pro by Henry Harrius and Tobias Dostal, the upgraded version of the original Optix phone vanish. This review aims to help potential buyers understand the product's strengths and weaknesses before making a purchase. Sebastian emphasizes his goal of providing honest reviews to aid magicians in their purchasing decisions, and encourages viewers to engage with him on social media. Optix Pro builds upon the original effect, a phone vanish where a spectator's phone seemingly disappears after being filmed with the performer's own phone. The core concept remains the same, but this version introduces significant improvements, particularly in the vanish itself. The product costs $99 USD and includes an instructional video, the main gimmick (pre-made for Henry's version), parts for adapting the gimmick, a USB-C rechargeable unit, and fishing-type thread. Sebastian highlights that both versions require intermediate skill, with Tobias's original handling being more advanced. He praises the improved vanish by Henry Harrius, the well-made gimmick, and the comprehensive tutorial. However, he notes that if you already own the original Optix and are satisfied, the upgrade might not be essential. Sebastian gives Optix Pro a rating of 8.75 out of 10 and recommends it to those who were previously intimidated by the original Optix or who desire a cleaner, more deceptive vanish.
