Omni Air by Victor Sanz - Magic Review
This video is a comprehensive review of Omni Air by Victor Sanz, a new gimmick that aims to replicate the classic Omni Deck effect in a novel way. The reviewer, a seasoned magician, provides a detailed breakdown of the product, its handling, and its potential for both close-up and social media performance. He found the gimmick to be of high quality, with clever construction, and praised the well-produced 50-minute tutorial featuring Nick LaMore, which covers multiple handlings and tips. The effect combines a solid-through-solid effect with the principles of the Omni Deck, creating a seemingly impossible visual where spectators attempt to push a pen through a hole in a clear block of glass, only to find it blocked. While angles are generally good, they are improved when wearing darker clothing. The reviewer emphasizes that presentation is key, framing the effect as a puzzle or creating a sense of wonder. The gimmick requires a slightly thicker pocket space than a standard deck of cards but allows for examination of the props, enhancing its fooling power. Although the original Omni Deck might be slightly stronger, Omni Air offers a fresh take on the plot and is a recommended addition for magicians seeking a unique and engaging effect, especially considering its $40 price point.
