What a beautiful, clever and mystifying effect this is!
When you first see this performed it is hard to fully comprehend how quickly your hand will burn when you put it over a candle. Even from a few inches it feels like it is burning within a couple of seconds. If you try it you will see immediately that almost the second you put your hand over the flame you have to remove it.
However, with this well engineered and clever gimmick you can literally keep your hand there for minutes without any discomfort. How it works it kind of amazing and it really doesn’t matter how high the candle is – I tried it with 4″, 6″ and 9″ candles and they are big candles. So it will cover a whole slew of candles, and none of them are gimmicked. You can pretty much use any candle though it does work better with wider pillar candles. I use 3″ wide ones with the various heights as shown.
The gimmick is expertly engineered and the remote control is a small key fob size and works perfectly. You don’t actually need the remote control, but it does add that extra kicker effect where you can have a spectator be able to withstand the heat or not without even getting close to the candle.
This is some powerful magic and a really interesting effect that is unique. It can be done in a variety of situations with no set-up and simply looks amazing and just how real magic should look!
This is the Rex Ignis Advanced Version with the remote option. The Advanced Version allows you to use a matchbox, card box, or the classic invisible set-up, so it is more flexible for the performer.
