Fully customizable? | Phantom by Rezi and Hide | live STUMPED review with Sergey Koller
This YouTube video is a "Stumped" review and discussion featuring Sergey Koller and STS, the creators of Phantom, a new magic release from Rezi and Hide. The video centers around a live discussion with co and Bo Creamer, where they explore the effect, its potential, and the creative possibilities it offers magicians. The overall tone is enthusiastic and inquisitive, with a focus on unraveling the mystery of Phantom and highlighting its unique features. Phantom is a customizable magic frame that allows for a variety of routines. The core concept involves a spectator selecting a card, signing it, and then seemingly losing it within the deck. The card then vanishes and reappears within the frame, often with a surprising reveal. The frame itself is designed to look like a standard picture frame, constructed from a material that mimics glass but is shatterproof. A key selling point is the frame's versatility. It comes with multiple routines, including one where a blank card can be used for custom reveals, allowing magicians to write or print personalized messages or images. The creators emphasize that the gimmick is durable and practical, designed for repeated use without requiring constant adjustments or maintenance. While the video doesn't reveal the method, the discussion hints at a design that avoids common pitfalls like flaps or elastic bands, aiming for a more reliable and long-lasting solution. The creators mention that the effect can be performed with varying degrees of skill, with simpler routines accessible to beginners and more advanced routines for experienced performers. The creators stress the importance of presentation and misdirection, suggesting the frame can be displayed on a wall, adding an artistic element to the performance. The customizable nature of the blank card opens up numerous possibilities for personalization, allowing magicians to tailor the effect to specific events or audiences. Sergey and STS are proud of Phantom's practicality and durability, emphasizing that it's designed to withstand the rigors of professional performance. They believe it's a unique gift for magicians, offering a blend of visual appeal and engaging magic. The creators also mention that a close-up version is in development. The price point for the stage version is $250.
