Description & Effect
Experience Unbelievable Body Magic with Breaking Point
Prepare to witness reactions you've only dreamed of. Johannes Mengel's 'Breaking Point' isn't just a magic trick; it's a jaw-dropping illusion that will leave your audience questioning reality. Imagine the scene: gasps, groans, and even screams of horror as you seemingly dislocate your finger with a chilling pop, bend it in impossible ways, and then miraculously snap it back into place, completely unharmed. This digital download teaches you a powerful, realistic routine that pushes the boundaries of perception.
The Ultimate Impromptu Illusion
What makes 'Breaking Point' truly exceptional is its unparalleled practicality. This incredible effect is entirely impromptu, meaning you can perform it anywhere, anytime, without any special props or elaborate setups. Forget bulky gimmicks; your own hand is all you need. It's easy to learn, yet delivers an impact usually reserved for complex stage illusions. Magicians like Maxwell Murphy, co-founder of Penguin Magic, were left utterly baffled, stating, 'I laughed out-loud during the trailer, and the smile never left my face. Now I just need to convince you to teach me the secret... I hope there's a secret.'
A Routine That Defies Belief
The 'Breaking Point' routine is meticulously structured into three distinct, powerful phases: first, the shocking dislocation of the finger, making it appear to pop right out of its socket; second, a series of impossible bends that defy anatomy; and finally, the astonishing restoration, as your finger visibly pops back into its natural position. Each step is taught with clarity, ensuring you master the illusion safely and effectively. Joe Rindfleisch, creator of Fracture, notes, 'This is a great effect! The cracking of the finger is pure eye and ear candy.' This isn't just a trick your spectators will remember; it's an experience that will cement your reputation as someone who can achieve the truly impossible. Even after revealing it's not real, some spectators won't believe you – that's how convincing 'Breaking Point' is.
