Magic Review - Mr. Gloves by Juan Pablo

Magic Orthodoxy presents a charming review of 'Mr. Gloves' by Juan Pablo, a unique prop that transforms two red gloves into a delightful puppet assistant for magic performances. David explores the novelty and potential of this prop, highlighting its suitability for children's magic, hospital visits, or walk-around routines. The gimmick, included with the purchase alongside plastic eyes, allows for clever manipulation and character creation. The 20-minute tutorial, primarily mime-based with on-screen text, guides viewers through the folding technique, which may require a few attempts to master. Once constructed, Mr. Gloves can be integrated into various routines, such as vanishing silks, cigarette vanishes, and even card tricks, adapting classic effects like the cut and restored rope. David emphasizes the puppet's appeal to young audiences and encourages magicians to explore their own creative applications, while also questioning the appropriateness of certain effects like the cigarette vanish for a child-focused character. Overall, David considers 'Mr. Gloves' a 'really cute' and 'fun' addition to a magician's repertoire, especially for those working with children, priced at $60 and available through hocuspocus.com. The review also promotes Magic Orthodoxy's membership, offering additional content like reviews, unboxings, and tutorials.
