Are there clothing restrictions, for performing Optix? A little bit of black art?

You would need to wear a jacket of some sort

Quick question what is the skill level required for this trick and will you need to do things like palm a card?

While you do have to "palm" the gimmick, it is much easier than a card. It's probably intermediate but a beginner can do it with practice. It's a little knacky.

What if they have a case like an otter on it?

You'll probably not want to use that phone. Tobias goes over how to do it if their phone has a case.

Optix

A stunning vanish of a borrowed phone with a shocking ending they'll never see coming.

"Optix is what magic should feel like." Danny Garcia

"Optix" is the most cherished creation of magician Tobias Dostal. He dedicated countless hours to carefully crafting numerous prototypes until he finally created a gimmick that can be used to perform a one-of-a-kind effect that simply cannot be followed when performed correctly.

While you can use "Optix" for a pure vanish, it's best known for the impossible phone transposition it allows you to do. You start by borrowing a spectator's phone and handing them your phone so they can record the magic that is about to happen. In an instant, their phone vanishes into thin air.

No sleeves or pulls. It's truly gone.

Well, actually, when they ask you where the phone went, you just need to point to their hands. They'll be shocked when they realize they've been holding their phone the entire time. A truly impossible moment that will feel like a real-life glitch in the matrix.

Universal Gimmick

iPhone, Android, white phone, black phone... it doesn't matter. "Optix" is a universal gimmick that can be used with any smartphone. In the 90 minute instructional video, Toby will teach you how to deal with basically any kind of phone you will be presented with, as well as everything you need to get the most out of this effect.

This robust and sleek gimmick is built to last. With just one simple charge of less than an hour, you can get potentially 100s of performances.

NOTE: This is the newer version of Optix featuring an upgraded button that makes activating the gimmick easier than ever.
