MyMagic eNewsletter #968

Was very happy with the response to Saturday’s Newsletter, sold out of the Fantasma item within hours. Wish I had more. Below you will see two more heavily discounted items which I don’t think you will be able to clean me out of, since I have four times as many.
Rocco became a household name in magic when he released D’Lite. After his company dissolved, he licensed them to Fantasma and created some new routines with them that were included with the new video tutorial.
These are the original Skylighters, offered individually in no-frills packaging at a fraction of the original price. The tips look realistic and are made of soft rubber.
Oh. The Telethought Pads many asked about are back. It took more than two weeks to make the short journey with unnecessary postal delays. Read the paragraph before the ad for some surprising information.
â–şSkylighter Thumb:
This is a version of Rocco’s D’Lite that was licensed from him to market to the general public. It was included in several different Fantasma magic sets.
You can basically use it to produce and manipulate a red light that can appear and vanish at will.
Comes with one hollow rubber thumb (2.25” long, with a .75” opening) with a battery-operated red light inside it. Includes access to a video tutorial by Rocco.

This spoon bending routine was originally released to the magic market around fifteen years ago and sold for around $40. It is an easy visual you can do immediately.
â–şMind Bending Spoon:
The basic routine involves you showing a metal spoon to your friends and having it visibly bend in half. It uses the method created by Erez Moshe.
This is more of a visual routine you can do for people or on video as opposed to “grabber” friends and relatives.
The props come with an instructional DVD that features Magic Balay teaching the routine that is in the trailer plus several other methods for ending clean and examinable.

I recently offered you Chris Kenworthey’s Telethought Pad and sold out of both versions within hours. I expected the smaller one to sell-out but was surprised at the sales of the large one.
It was explained to me that the large one is used by some people to hide a smartphone by cutting a rectangular hole in the papers. Thus, allowing a friend to text you secret information like words and definitions in a dictionary or book test. Also used to receive secret information from apps.
I am sure it can also be adapted for cheating at games where an expert can send you winning strategies. I am going to make one up and add it to my gambling collection. I think it will make an excellent demo item to explain modern methods of cheating.
â–şTelethought Pad:
This pad is a brilliant application of the privacy lens. What Chris did was use a standard looking spiral pad and replaced the cover with this special lens.
So now you can have someone write or draw anything they want in the pad, while your back is turned. They close the pad, you turn around and can immediately know what they wrote or drew. It is as if you have x-ray vision and can see through the black cover… which you can.

Stay happy, Meir
PS: I always thought that if Rocco came to me and said I should invest in a thumbtip with a diode inside, I would laugh it off as the stupidest thing I ever heard. I would have been very, very wrong.
