The super-popular "WOW" gets a stage-sized upgrade with "Portrait WOW" by Katsuya Masuda and Roman Garcia.
"Portrait WOW" takes the "WOW" principle and makes it a guaranteed new favorite routine for stage and parlor magic performers. It doesn't just increase the size and visibility, but makes an amazing new transpo routine possible.
Both you and the spectator draw a picture. The illustrations are stored in a see-through sleeve. While you hold your image and they hold theirs, you give yours a shake and it visually transforms into their image. The audience then checks their sleeve to see that they now hold your drawing.
At around the 56-second mark, the trailer shows a more open exchange of the drawings than what is actually possible. You will need to hold both WOWs face down for an extremely brief moment before handing them theirs to hold face down and turning yours back face up. This happens in a couple seconds on an off-beat and does not hinder the effect at all. It is still perceived by the spectator exactly as described above.
"Portrait WOW" comes with:
The visual change is excellent. And spectators will do a double take. It's actually fun just to watch their eyes bulge during the transformation. Probaly not a good idea to be laughing at your spectators though ---- Pro-tip. Keep it to yourself.It's a little knacky but with experience you can do the change slowly which I think looks best. But you can do it instantly as well. It's low tech, highly engineered :) It took me some time and still I am not there as far as being completely happy with a presentation. But it's great that the spectator can draw something. As that will be the give away souvenir. And the stick figure is great as it boosts your humility and gives them a confidence boost. I find the more I have performed this the more I am growing to like it. My unit worked fine from the start and has been working well for over 100 performances.But you have to take care on the markers and paper you use as you don't want to mark the frames.The big question is the price. And here I can't comment as there really is nothing else exactly like this. So the price is the price. Of course it would have sold more for $99.99.But that visual is some real Copperfield stuff.
