Magic Review - Impodssible by Hsu Hau Jiun & Hanson Chien
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a glowing review of "Impodssible," a modern magic trick created by Hsu Hau Jiun and Hanson Chien. The trick centers around the seemingly impossible penetration of an earbud through a clear glass tumbler, followed by a vanish and reappearance within an earbud case – a routine David finds visually appealing and engaging due to its use of everyday objects. He draws a direct comparison to the classic chop cup, noting the shared underlying principle, but praising the modernized presentation. While a gimmick is involved, the inspectable glass tumbler is a key selling point. David emphasizes that while practice is needed to perfect the timing, the trick doesn't demand advanced sleight-of-hand skills. He highlights the trick's ability to grab attention, its adaptability to various performances, and the value of the 20-minute tutorial (available online with subtitles). The kit includes four earbuds, and the earbud case has a substantial weight, adding to the illusion. David ultimately recommends "Impodssible" as a worthwhile addition to any magician's repertoire, particularly for those familiar with chop cup principles, and appreciates the quality of the props and the included tutorial.
