The Mesmerizing Illusion Unveiled
At its core, the Mystery Stick presents an elegant paradox. Spectators will witness a finely crafted brass stick, adorned with four sophisticated wooden beads, one gracefully suspended on a cord. The magic unfolds as you pull a bead from one side, and the hanging bead retracts, seemingly connected by an invisible, inexplicable force. Pull a bead from the other side, and the hanging bead inexplicably remains retracted, defying logical explanation through various combinations. The profound illusion of an unseen connection between all beads builds suspense. The grand finale arrives when the stick is deftly split in half, dramatically revealing the stunning truth: there is absolutely no central connection. This ingenious update transforms a classic into a modern marvel, perfect for intimate settings.
Exquisite Craftsmanship & Portability
TCC & Jimmy Fan have meticulously engineered the Mystery Stick with the close-up performer's needs paramount. Measuring just 13.5 cm, this brass stick is perfectly proportioned for discreet pocket carry, ensuring you're always ready for an impromptu performance. Departing from traditional pom-poms, this iteration features finely crafted wooden beads, which not only contribute to its smaller, sleeker profile but also enhance its refined aesthetic. The harmonious fusion of lustrous brass and natural wood imbues each stick with a delicate and distinctly artisanal feel, elevating it beyond a mere prop to a piece of functional art. Each Mystery Stick is painstakingly hand-assembled, reflecting an unwavering commitment to precise detail for comfortable, flawless performance. This dedication guarantees a prop that not only looks exceptional but also handles with smooth, reliable grace, making it a joy to perform.

The Mystery Stick is a modern take on the classic Pom-pom Prayer Stick/Chinese Sticks trick, which was first described in the Chinese magic book "鹅幻汇编" published in 1889. This close-up version features a brass stick measuring 13.5 cm in length, with four wooden beads attached to each end, one of which is hanging on a cord. When you pull a bead on one side, the hanging bead is retracted, and when you pull a bead on the other side, the hanging one remains retracted. This process is repeated in various combinations, giving the illusion that all the beads are connected. However, when the stick is split in half, it is revealed that there is no connection in the center. The Mystery Stick is truly mesmerizing.
Designed for close-up performance, the Mystery Stick is compact and easy to carry around in your pocket. Jimmy Fan used wooden beads instead of pom-poms, this allows for a smaller size, while the classic combination of brass and wood gives it a delicate and crafty feel. Each set of the Mystery Stick is hand-assembled with precise attention to detail for comfortable performance.
Due to its structure, each set of the Mystery Stick is assembled by hand, with strict control over details for comfortable performance.
