 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is the magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at vise from Jeff praise and Murphy's magic. What is vise? basically Jeff has created a little trick with lifesavers and He's able to take a lifesaver squish it up and down and then when he hands it out It remains in a squished form spectator can even eat it and prove that it was actually a real lifesaver You want to see what it looks like? This is it Just watch them and don't take your eyes off the mint right because I if I kind of just squeeze This is a weird thing if I squeeze them in You can actually see it start to bend kind of it Wait requires the other until you just squeeze it like this and then it you can harden it back up You take the minute make sure it's actually hard men. That's hard sugar now You you wanted a man right you can try it if you want Minty right So this trick is not only easy to do it has good angles But after that insanely visual moment where you squish the lifesaver one of my favorite aspects is that you hand out that squished mint The spectator looks at it for a second and when they realize it's a real edible mint. They absolutely freak out That's because your superpowers not that melting sugar Boom fresh new and also tasty So we squish so much magic into this Yeah, it's squished like the you squish the lifesaver We all know what our audience want they want strong powerful magic and magic with lifesavers and now we can finally deliver Seriously though who writes these lines? It's a really fun trick with a lifesaver man. It's candy All right, so that was Jeff praise you might remember we did two other reviews for him We did the in your wallet and the search engine pen So a couple questions we always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what is in the box What's in the box you get a really big box like I showed you it's a really it's a really big box Inside that box you're gonna get fake mints Okay, gimmicks gaff mints You're gonna get real mints. Okay, and you're gonna get a fake lifesaver roll that you can build Okay, so it'll either Come with the lifesaver pre-printed logo or you can download the PDF and make your own Lifesaver roll or if lifesavers aren't in your country You can do polo which they're very similar to lifesavers. Is it what I thought? I really had no idea what to think with this Because I think what Jeff praises done is he's made something very creative So I don't think your mind would obviously go to this to begin with Unless you are just thinking. Okay, what would be the most basic Thing that this could be and I assume well, I guess and then it probably would be what you think But I think combined with his very creative gas and then with his presentation I think you're getting a really cute very creative effect. How are the angles the angles on this are really good I would argue that you could probably do this Surrounded with no issues All of the dirty work takes place very fast and through slights that most of us know so I don't think you really have Too many angle issues for this can it be inspected? Absolutely, and I think this is Jeff's whole point is that it can be inspected You show the lifesaver you squished up and down and then in its squished form You hand it out and the spectator can see click click click It is a real lifesaver and they can pop it in their mouth and eat it and verify that it's a real lifesaver So they eat The proof so the proof is in the pudding or the lifesaver as we say What's the overall quality and production value of the video? It's made by Murphy's magic. So it's great Murphy's magic really knows how to make really good videos. So you're getting multiple shots You get a very nice non-distracting background Non-distracting music very well edited the video itself is 43 minutes long. So you're getting a ton of Footage in the teaching portion. You're gonna get a live Working performance that's good too and Jeff really goes through everything for you a big portion of the video is Set up and another big portion of the video is arts and crafts. So there are those two portions So yes, there are some arts and crafts nothing that has to do with the mince. Okay, nothing that has to do with food items But it has to do with you building the lifesaver roll And so that'll be something that you'll have to do and it's all the standard equipment that you always see when Somebody starts breaking something out and saying you have to build it. So it's all those same kind of tools Things that you've got lying around the house for sure is a product well made. These are real Mints like when you look at these gaffed mince that he's made They look incredibly real side by side The gimmick meant with a real lifesaver You will be able to tell the difference But only you'll be able to tell the difference because you know what you're looking for Your lay person won't be able to look at your gaffed mitts and say hey those aren't real That won't take that won't happen. Okay, so how much practice does this trick require? This trick is mostly loads and transfers. Okay, it's mostly loads false transfers When I was thinking about this and watching it. I had this like epiphany And I and I firmly believe this This trick is a sponge ball routine with mince That's what it is. So if you do sponge ball routines, bam You're going to be right in there and I was thinking about this, you know a sponge ball routine A sponge ball is a magic item, you know a regular lay person. They don't live in a world with sponge balls They don't ever see sponge balls. I mean granted holding one. You're not thinking oh, this is gimmicked I mean, they're never going to think that your sponge ball is something's how you know magical But it's just not an object. They see in the real world These are right Everybody knows what a lifesaver is So if you can do a sponge ball routine with lifesavers You've just brought sponge balls into the 21st century. Like you've just made them relevant and fun again I think that's really what jeff has done There's even another trick on here where he teaches you a linking ring Trick that you can do. So there's a linking lifesaver trick on here as well And there's a karate coin style trick where you stab the lifesaver in mid-air with a pencil And that's on here as well. How much setup and reset is there? Like I said at the beginning, there's a bunch of setup that's arts and crafts So but once you get that done, you never have to do it again The reset though for this trick is is is seconds. All right. So what are the positives to this? Vice is a great opener for the strolling restaurant magician or street performer and as an extra bonus It's delicious. All right. So one of the negatives, you know, like we say here, there's negatives to everything These are just the negatives that I see. They don't have to be the negatives that you see There was a notation in the write-up and even in the video where jeff says that You can get refills for the mints because obviously You're getting the real mints, but then you hand them out. They eat them. So you're this is a consumable trick You will run out of mints. Okay. So both in the write-up and the video. He says refills are available I never saw where they were available. So maybe that's coming out later. I don't know Is it worth your money? It's 30 bucks 30 dollars. And like I said, you're just getting mints and the Tube and then the video. So on the one hand, it is It is right, you know, it's right in the ballpark. It's affordable. However, like I said earlier, it's a consumable trick So this is not a trick. You'll be able to do again and again and again You're really only only going to be able to do this 30 times I think is what it was and then you'll have to purchase more mints So just know that going in that this is a trick that is consumed You will have to make additional purchases if you like this effect and want to keep doing it Who would like this? Like I said, it's perfect for the restaurant magician because I mean people just ate. Hey, you want to mint? Bam trick Uh, it's perfect for walk around perfect for street magic or people that just like new creative types of tricks All right, so that is my review for vice from jeff praise and murphy's magic I want to thank murphy's magic for allowing me to have this trick so that I can review it for you And if you want to purchase it for yourself, you can find it at one of your favorite murphy's magic retailers. Thanks. Bye
