THE BIZARRE TRICK OF THE YEAR. A SIDESHOW CLASSIC, PRACTICALLY REMASTERED With the sensational release of “HOOK”, Eric Ross astonished the magic community by transforming a stage plot into an intimate close-up thriller. It wasn’t just thrilling; it was safe, clever, and practically designed for the modern performer. Three years later, “Eye-Candy” is the next chapter in this exciting journey.

Using a borrowed Tic Tac, the spectator places it in the performer’s mouth. Slowly but surely, it is pushed through the INNER LAYER of the face and ends up in the performer’s eye socket! The spectator can even help push the Tic Tac and FEEL the lump in the face. If the audience hasn’t panicked yet, you can even eat the Tic Tac for an extra gross factor.

PRACTICAL FOR THE EVERYDAY PERFORMER

Just like “hook”, “Eye-Candy” has all the amazing elements that make this a practical thriller: a modern prop, practical method, easy to set up for walkaround. The entire effect can be performed up close. With nothing else visible to the audience, you truly look like a modern magician.

It also comes with a special carrying case, designed to keep your gimmick in a safe, sterile condition and support your setup process. It is also designed to take up minimal pocket space.

HIGH-QUALITY MANUFACTURING BY HANSON CHIEN

The most important aspect of “EYE CANDY” is that it is designed to be 100% SAFE. That is why the gimmick is made from MEDICAL-GRADE MATERIALS, the same material used by surgeons in surgical instruments; the gimmick will not melt, irritate the skin, crack, or cause harm to the body. To ensure the gimmick is produced to the highest quality, Eric has partnered with Hanson Chien, one of the most renowned prop manufacturers in magic.

There have been many versions of this “Object to eye” plot, but never a professional, dedicated product designed to help you achieve this effect in a safe, controlled manner. Once you realize how safe “HOOK” is, you’ll be even more impressed by “EYE CANDY”.

EXPERT TRAINING TO KEEP YOU SAFE

Part of the safety also comes from quality training. Over 40 minutes of expert instruction from Sean Chou, Poker Chen, and Eric Ross, guiding you through both safety precautions and performance tips, with multiple live performances and studio walkthroughs to show you all the different variations. We even brought in people who had never learned this effect before and filmed their learning process in real time, from start to finish. (Spoiler Alert: they all passed!)

Eye Candy – Frequently Asked Questions How safe is “Eye Candy”, really?
There’s a reason we designed this effect based on “Tic Tacs”, a LIGHTWEIGHT object with a POLISHED, SMOOTH surface. This is a much, much safer prop than other options previously used in magic tricks involving the eye. As long as you know what you’re doing at all times, you should be perfectly safe. So watch the ENTIRE tutorial and learn carefully; we’ve done everything we can to produce the safest props and detailed lessons—it’s your job to take good care of yourself during the performance.

Is this product a consumable? Do I need to buy refills?
Our gimmick is designed to be reusable and built to last. The only refills you’ll need to buy are the real Tic Tacs that you actually eat! (OUR PRODUCT DOES NOT COME WITH REAL TIC TACs.)

How long is the reset time?
Less than 30 seconds. You can set it up anywhere as long as you’re not being watched (a bathroom break would work). The carrying case is designed to help you set it up from start to finish, so it should be very simple.

Can I use EYE CANDY while wearing contact lenses?
Yes. In the trailer, our performers are already wearing contact lenses during the performance, so that’s totally fine. We’ve also included extra setup and performance tips for performers who wear contacts, to ensure everyone can perform the effect as intended.

Can I REALLY learn this? How steep is the learning curve?
In the tutorial, we invited people who had never done this before to learn with us; they were all able to master it within the first few minutes. We’ve also included Eric Ross’s original tutorial to cover all the content from the very beginning of this routine.
