The Blurb
Eric Ross has invented a trick that we swear will be the new roulette routine. We hope you will agree. Imagine placing a hook in your mouth. Several strings dangle from your lips. One of them is attached, the rest are not. You call on 5 spectators to pull on a string of their choice. Let the games begin. No matter which string they pull, the last string always remains attached to the hook in your mouth. You’re safe for another day.
Hook is strong, visual, simple and safe. Even though it’s pocket sized, it’s perfect for close-up and large stages alike. You can’t help but get a strong reaction with Hook from beginning to end.
“What a sick and twisted effect! I can’t wait to perform it myself!”
– Justin Flom
WORKS 100% OF THE TIME. No forces, no switches, it’s self-working and safe. Everything you need is contained in the package. We created the special prop for safe transport, easy setup, and maximum performance results. We’ve also designed the packaging to purposely look unassuming. This way you can create the strongest reactions when they least expect it.
“You want reactions? THIS is how you get reactions!!”

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
The hook really isn’t “specially crafted” as it’s a standard hook, but the points have been dulled for comfort. They are still sharp though and so it’s not 100% safe, but if you follow the instructions, it’s certainly much more safe than you might think.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The re-set essentially involves attaching the string to the base of the fish hook. It will take a few minutes to do that and less with practice.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
There is a small key ring (9mm) which must be attached to the three-pronged fish hook.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Consider this a clever, pocket-sized version of the smash-and-stab routines but involving a very unique plot. If you are comfortable with this type of effect, I am sure you’ll get the powerful reactions you’ll expect to get from this.
