hi my name is Steve Fon welcome to real magic review and this is Stitch by [Music] titanis before we do the review like And subscribe if you like any want to subscribe to it have a look at online magic.co that's my membership site 900 plus videos it's brilliant um have a look at the trust pilot reviews special guests come on they're brilliant too um 180 odd live sessions have already been uploaded and you get about 900 videos on all aspects of magic from beginner to Pro with me teaching it you and that's what I've dedicated my life to pretty much so it's good have a look at it it's Preposterous the price of it I might put it up that's what I might do so um have a look $9.99 at the moment a month right Stitch often when I'm performing people say to me can uh you cut my wife in half and and what happens is after that we all laugh it's very very funny when people do that uh but I didn't want to just kind of say no which is what I said for a while it's very clever no no I can't uh what I'll do now is I'll go no but but I've got a version of it which is you know very dangerous for a magician cuz you know slide hand I use my fingers so uh this is the cutting the fingering half trick which I think is quite good isn't it it's gosh I do get a bit worried doing that but there you go there's my answer to the famous soaring a woman in half trick I love finger and by the way yes you always say positive things about things I don't get sent to rubbish and I don't buy the rubbish to review I don't want to and there's not that much rubbish around people kind of people know what they've got as rubbish and they don't ask me to review it and um I can't be asked so this is about finding the good stuff before you moan this is good but it's not perfect and this is the point Stitch is part of a genre of magic that I adore I love doing stuff with a thing even that I love doing that I love doing stuff with a all that kind of thing um anything with the fingers I even started working on that thing have I got the right no that thing which I can't do properly but I love it all and I got the may you did which is probably wrongly pronounced book and um I just love it rubbish sh it but love it um and of course the ring finger stuff uh ring thing so when I saw this I like Yay this is something can put at the end of my rubbish routine with Fingers um CU this is basically you know with Demi deck we had the the cut deck in half with the the little blades um from Angelo and now we've got the cut finger in half and the minute I saw it I thought that's brilliant and it is brilliant but and there is a but this does require so you put you put a finger F fr a tube and they see you pull your finger off and put it back on again and there are a few ways of doing this I'm not going to go into all of them there's a big download you can do it on the table like this you can do it up like this which is the main way and there is a way of doing like that which I wouldn't bother with unless you're just doing it for video but it's a nice thing that's standing in front of you and you put your finger in all that so the first thing is I love it it's great it's brilliant it's slightly more challenging than I thought meaning you've got to practice when I first saw it I thought I'll be able to do this really quickly and then I showed it to my partner and I thought i' practiced quite a lot and she was like clock that oock that because I asked her to say that and I showed it to her son and he said the same he's very don't ever want to say that sort of thing so he's like do thing so that was because there is an angle thing happening here now it's not that it's impossible to do it's the fact that you've got to practice with those angles in mind and the mirror sometimes isn't going to cut it so the mirror's fine like that but when I he was sitting down I was standing up there was a bit of a thing it's not difficult to work with those angles and it's not you haven't got to do any knuckle busting slight of hand to deal with it but they are there and that is going to have to be part of your practice I don't mind that but just know that that is it you might feel like you've got it you've got all the moves you've got the things you've got to do and there is a a bit to remember here there's quite a process again super easy but you've just got to rehearse first and then you get that thing which we all get so often of going oh thought I had it then and you've seen the thing back to the mirror or whatever so that's something you really got to be careful of don't get the moves and think you can do it and go out and do it have someone you can trust to to check and you'll get it sorted in no time there is also a boldness boldness to this now there are ways of doing it without having a hold out things but the main routine involves you having a hold out for quite some time and that is also the thing that I flashed I think with routines like this they are going to be looking for things I think with some stuff they're kind of focused on what they do what they're sort of watching or seeing with card stuff that you can get away with a bit more I think with this one even though they're going to be shocked when you start taking your finger off quite soon because it's so impossible they're going to go right you know where can I look with this or some people are so again there's a concealment thing here which I failed at thinking I was nailing it again because of angle but also because I just didn't have that right and for those of you that aren't used to doing that it is very bold it is going to be quite nerve-wracking you are going to be fine but just again prepare to take that constructive criticism for people that you trust in a magic club or whatever you know be honest can you look at this and tell me if I'm flashing saying all that it's really good those things are just part of the game this is going to be no good being surrounded I think it's perfectly suited for those situations where you can stamp back from a table or stand back from a few people you know walking around a cocktail do doing a close-up gig is not for me the other thing you're going to have to decide is whether you're happy with an apparatus thing a thing that looks like it's for a magic trick now I'm totally fine with that not with everything but with this kind of trick because it's harking back to The Cutting Sor woman in half and You' put a woman in a box people are used to illusionists having apparatus and I think you just sell it as illusion have you ever seen the thing where they put of course you have cuz everybody asked me about it well this is my version of it and you've Justified the thing that's fine that's all part of it but some of you may not want to do that and it's going to take up extra Pocket space so it's one of those tricks that I really like it's going to be divisive because I think it's brilliant it's really clever and it's like a little illusion it's great but not for everybody now there's another bit of kind of adapting you're going to have to do depending on skin color I'm sure it's fine to say that and there's a bit of adapting I can't do not on skin size but on Porky finger size now it's fine because the size of my fingers basically a Porky fingers they're fat ones and there are certain displays in this that I feel less comfortable doing because of the discrepancy now there's a few discrepancies that are fine I'm happy with because I know that they're kind of not focusing on that thing at that time but there's there's there's a display that I'm like it just looks too different and if you've got a dark skin color you're going to have to adapt this and that might be a bit of a faf I do wish they'd have had a couple of kind of different size bits to this maybe they do I'm check maybe they just sent me one but I think couple of different tones couple of different things would have been really helpful or sizes but they do have a thing where you can the size of the gimmick depending on the length of your fingers which is really really useful so it's pretty versatile and those things are only if you want to kind of do prolonged kind of displays which you don't need to um it's just something to be wary of like as a display where you do this which I can't do because my fingers are too fat uh things like that or unless I've got one person right in front of me so this sounds like it's kind of you know damning with faint praise because it's got all these things that you got to think about but I think that's part of magic and if you know that going in you're going to be fine but don't get it go with all angly CU like a lot of magic it is I love Titanic's stuff I'm a huge fan of Titan's finger I think it's just the best thing it's one of the only things Titan finger is where you kind of show your finger like that you can show it like that do that and you've twisted your finger but your fingernail is still there it's the most brilliant thing it's absolutely wonderful if you haven't got it get it because you're going to be amazing that you'll get away with it and I showed my daughter the other day and she's like yeah great whatever four times do it again do it again kept doing it kept getting it's brilliant so if you haven't got Titans finger i' really recommend that I really recommend this but again with those caveats um and I'm going to enjoy playing with it whether I use it or not a gig I don't know I think there's something there but um but I love it anyway so there's Stitch uh thank you Murphy's for sending that to me thank you titanas for making it it's really really clever and you should be very proud of it and thank you for watching
