Here's Why We Will NOT be Stocking iCandy by Peter Eggink
A "new" item iCandy by Peter Eggink has just hit the market and we have to say we are NOT impressed. It uses the same gimmick as our effect Juicy which has been on the market since 2017.

We approached Peter Eggink and were told that he was unaware of Juicy and that iCandy was his creation. Peter is a well established creator and knows full well the need for research. If he did not do his research then we find this staggering.
We informed Peter that he was using a gimmick which was already included in our Juicy set (actually we supply 3 different ready made gimmicks and not just 1 unfinished gimmick as supplied with iCandy). His response was that he had added an extra gimmick to do a vanish which in his opinion was worth the price of the effect alone.
There are variations of all sorts of effects on the market but what we really don't like is that Peter has taken James' effect Juicy with Starburst sweets and simply added a vanish which we do not teach on our tutorial. With this added vanish Peter now claims it to be a new trick. In our view it does not make it new. In reality it is simply a different handling of James' Juicy gimmick.
For these reasons we will NOT support iCandy but will continue to support the original creator James Keatley - and we'd encourage you to do the same - as such we direct you to Juicy which contains more gimmicks, has no iCandy angle sensitive vanish, the gimmicks are ready made and contains more effects, plus it's over £10 cheaper. More for less!
Powerful, visual magic done "in the hands" with organic objects is the best any magician can do. Everybody can relate to Candy from children to adults and definitely creates a maximum impact!Basic routine:Have a spectator choose 2 different coloured candy's, and have them cup their hand around them. Next, you take one of the candy's out of their hand without them seeing it. It's a 50/50 chance that the spectator will "guess" the right color so that is not too magical...until you magically and visually make the candy disappear, only to have it re-appeared INSIDE their hands!iCandy allows you to perform amazing visual effects from transpo's, color changes, penetrations and much more! Check out the video and let the magic speak for itself.The gimmick adapts to both popular brands: Fruit-tella and Starburst.iCandy comes complete with special iCandy gimmicks (including the option to adapt the gimmick to fruit-tella or Starburst), and online video instructions that goes in detail on various effects/routines including the vanishes.
