Planetarium

What an incredible use of an optical principle to make this work. The video explains how it works and how to perform once the card is “selected”. Two card forcing techniques are also explained. But most who purchase will probably have their own method. What is missing is how you transition with the deck to. Bringing tbe gimmick into play. That you will need to work out depending on how you handle the secret included item. What would be nice is having additional gimmicks to reveal different cards. There is only one unique card that is revealed with this effect at this time. I like it as you have a very very unique way of revealing a selected or thought of card.

Wow - great method!

This is awesome. I thought the ad copy was exaggerating. But it is truly completely examinable before and after, nothing added or removed. I’ve shown this to half a dozen magicians already and they didn’t have a clue how it was done. A truly new and fun effect. I would like to be able to buy more versions with a variety of different cards and also with non-card images.

Its a must have EDC item. Really loved the simplicity of the effect. It looks like real magic.

As magicians we know several ways to reveal a card, but this is definitely interesting to the audience. It is visual and curious. I haven't received my gimmick yet but the method is really clever and practical. I loved it and I am looking forward to start performing it.

Absolutely brilliant. I have never seen anything like this before: it's very clever, and fully lives up to the ad copy: I didn't expect this to be so good! I think this has to be my trick of the year! Sheer genius. Thanks Manu Jo and Vanishing Inc for making this available. I can't stop smiling when I think about how this works!

Using physics to achieve an effect is brilliant. The only issues for me are the requirements of introducing a deck of cards, choosing one, and the appearance of that card, that everyone has seen projected onto the wall… an obvious card trick. The star card should be the primary focus.

I try to keep forces out of my repertoire as much as possible and eliminating the need for a deck of cards at all makes this a great way to segue into introducing a deck and beginning a few moments of fun and pure card tricks. I love this effect, but will perform it with my decks on the table or in a pocket.

What I’d like to do, with a lot of thinking, a false start or two, begin by writing something down on a napkin and folding it up. Then, produce the star card, pass it around, describe it’s purpose (haven’t thought about that yet), borrow a phone and have that person hold the star card close to the wall (so it’s difficult for onlookers to see), while telling her I’m thinking of a card, and to concentrate on the stars and try to imagine what I’m thinking of. Eventually, the 3 of hearts would vaguely and quickly appear and dissapear, and the accomplice will see it. I produce the napkin, show it to her ask if that’s what they thought of. She says “yes” becomes the hero, and when her friends ask how she did it, hopefully the response is “I don’t know, I just thought I saw it for a split second.”
Because the actual 3H card is never produced, maybe never even mentioned, it becomes something less memorable and can possibly be used again in the future (would REALLY love to use other cards).

For me, this is a perfect effect to attract a crowd and start a show.

Works well. I can see my students spellbound by it. I'm a little concerned that the light plastic cover, that I mistakenly removed the first time, will not be up to the challenge of being handled often. We'll see.

George is an EXCELLENT presenter and teacher!!

Fun to perform. Nice and easy!

GREAT

I don’t why I was surprised, but this gets great reactions. Better than I had expected. I love anything that is readily examined. This requires so little practice, it could be performed in minutes. The only thing that would make it better would be another card option or two. The one I received was so good that, after only a week of having it, the projection card vanished itself. (I might have lost it, but let’s not rush to conclusions. I’m still waiting for the transposition). That being said, there will be no hesitation in purchasing a second Planetarium.

This is a great idea and will be fun to use in performance, but as a few have already mentioned, it is a little unfortunate that you only have one card choice, as it won't be usable very often in a walk-around setting. That being said, I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way to make my own where I could reveal other cards.
The quality seems fine, but we'll have to see how the material stands the test of time.

Very impressive
Fun and easy to do
Thanks

Planetarium by Manu Jo is an exceptionally well-designed magic effect that impresses every audience. The effect is elegant, modern, and highly visual, making it perfect for close-up or stage performances. It is easy to handle, versatile, and feels very professional. The quality and creativity behind this product are outstanding, and it provides a memorable experience for spectators. Every performance with Planetarium feels polished and impactful, making it a must-have for any magician seeking to elevate their repertoire.

Very clever method. The spectators can hold the gimmick themselves and it can be done with a borrowed phone with a flashlight.
Once you craft a good story around it - I talk about star constellations and how people find patterns of starts that create a familiar shape to them.
You can reveal the prediction both in an instant or make it slowly fade in. With the presentation about the stars I go with the slow one, and tell the spectator to try to see the pattern in these starts.
It is awesome.

Fantastic. This reminds me of Tenyo’s Hyper Vision. It uses a clever, optical principle, but very easy to do and really visual for you audience… I played with it for maybe 10 minutes after opening it and I was able to work it that quickly there is some sleight-of-hand involved if you want to do that. But you don’t need to really use that method if you want to get a little tricky with your own phone. I love it though. It’s amazing.

One of the most innovative yet practical methods I've seen in a long time, and a beautiful effect.

A wonderful effect, the method is similar to a few other effects that already pre-exist and I say that meaning the technology in it has predated this, but it is used in such a way that it is fresh and new. There’s two methods included where you have to kind of manipulate one thing (using the spectator’s ) but the other one is very simple to do using your own phone. Totally love it. Hyper visual.

If you like what you see in the trailer, you should absolutely buy this trick. It is super easy to do and the method is fun. Great quality gimmick as well. I wish there were other cards that could be revealed, but other than that, there are really no negatives with this one.
