This is a very clever version of Andre Kole’s Atomic Stock Pile Illusion created by Damir Djanis with assistance from George Robinson. Even though this is the best version I have seen, the blocks cannot be examined and the spectators cannot get too close to the blocks. The illusion looks excellent, but I suspect some lay people who watch would simply believe magnets are being used. And although you can tell the audience “there are no magnets, wires, or threads used in this effect”, because they cannot examine the blocks I’m not sure how many will believe you.
This being said, I believe if you address this head on and use a strong magnet to demonstrate that there is no magnetism involved you can get close to removing the doubts. My good friend George Robinson disagrees with me on this finer point, so I could be wildly wrong here 🙂
The routine has five phases and although they are not hard to do this will take some practice to get smooth which is why I believe there have been no videos added to YouTube by the usual suspects. The demo video looks great and the instructional video, performed by Chris Brent, is excellent and certainly makes learning the phases much simpler.
There is no doubt this is a beautiful item and since there are only 24 of them they are in strong demand and sold out months ago at Viking.
