Even with the recent release of Wellington Enterprise’s perfect version of this effect Anthony Yap at Retro Rocketeers was not intimidated and set out to produce a different and improved version of Lubor’s creation. Whilst Wellington’s version was really stripped down to almost no stylistic elements, Anthony has added some nice touches so visually the props look a little more interesting. He has also incorporated some design tweaks that make doing the moves even simpler.
If I was to perform this effect to lay people I’d probably stick with the Wellington version, even though there is little doubt this Retro Rocketeers’ version is slightly simpler to perform. However, because the whole effect is so clean and simple and with the addition of the printed triangle prediction in the Wellington version there is no heat on the move anyway, so making the move easier is almost unnecessary.
That being said this really is a very worthwhile version from Retro Rocketeers, and it is great to perform and looks good in your collection too.
Retro Rocketeers continue to produce well priced, interesting and improved versions of many amazing magical creations and I look forward to seeing more from them in 2025.
