Phantom saucer how does it work

This string attaches to a small ball, which is then inserted into the top of the saucer. The string then runs from the ear to the space between the thumb and index finger of one hand. The saucer is dangled between these two fingers, and controlled by the child.

The string is quite thin, about the size of a strand of hair, and is not easily seen by casual viewers. The distance of the saucer from the hand can be controlled by lifting the arm as well as changing the distance of the hand from the body. In the commercials, children are seen using both hands, one above and one below the saucer. The bottom hand is simply for show in order to minimize the appearance that the saucer is simply dangling from the hand above.

You can watch this video of an extensive demonstration of a similar product. While the trick itself is straight forward, I did encounter a few potential problems during my Phantom Saucer review.

Below are some of the potential pitfalls I noted while using Phantom Saucer. The instructions note that wearing dark clothing and decreasing the lighting will increase the illusion. I can confirm that this is true. He was able to get better control this way. Be sure to practice up before showing your friends how you have become the greatest magician of all time! My son was so excited to show his dad and Pa. Would I buy the Phantom Saucer? Yes, absolutely! My son has had so much fun with it.

The string is extra thin and does break easy so you have to be very careful with it when sticking it behind your ear. Type: All Reviews Questions Comments. Was this review helpful to you? I don't own this product. Nor have I seen one besides on the television commercials. However, after reading several reviews and even actively looking for negitive information, my opinion is that this a great product.

It also teaches the concept of a timeless magic trick that can be used with other objects. The commercial did what commercials are meant do and that is interest you. Not deceive you. To the makers of phantom-saucer my hat's off to you. Sincerely, Scott Whitehead. You can change your mind at any time and disable notifications.
