Saturn Magic - Alakazam Presents Stixx by Eric Stevens

Eric Stevens introduces 'Stixx' by Alakazam, a comprehensive project centered around the classic 'Hot Rod' effect using colored sticks. This promotional video showcases the potential of this often-overlooked prop, promising a wealth of tricks, tips, and moves previously kept private. Stevens demonstrates several routines, including a captivating 'mirror dimension' effect where a stick appears to change color depending on the viewer's perspective. He highlights the importance of careful observation and misdirection, playfully acknowledging the audience's potential confusion while hinting at a simple principle behind the deceptive moments. The custom-made collection of hot rods included with 'Stixx' is presented as enabling performers to execute previously unimaginable visual magic, with possibilities for incorporating the sticks into various routines, such as making them disappear. Stevens believes 'Stixx' represents a significant advancement in the presentation of the Hot Rod effect, built on years of experience and refined techniques.
