Spirit Bell is a century-old classic supernatural effect.
A brass bell is suspended from a string on a wooden post. You, the magician, turn your back and ask the audience to select and memorize a playing card, or to point to a random object from a pile of objects.
You then explain that although you did not see what the audience participant’s choice was, a mysterious force did, and it would now help you discern the audience participant’s selection. You ask the audience to show the deck of cards or the pile of items one by one.
Just when the audience raises the selected card or item, the bell moves and rings on its own, as if there was an unknown force controlling it…
This is the well-known “Spirit Bell” effect, a classic supernatural effect with a history of over 100 years.
It frequently makes an appearance in many mentalism or spiritual magic shows. It does not require complex skills. Just an innocent-looking brass bell and a few captivating script lines easily create an eerie atmosphere and give the audience an unforgettable experience.
After referring to many historical materials about Spirit bells, Conan Liu also poured his knowledge and understanding of this classic prop and produced this version, the Spirit Bell Pro.
The Spirit Bell effect is very direct, the bell can ring on its own at any time, and there are many ways to present it.
In addition to the basic routine of finding a selected playing card and items, it can also be combined with other paranormal-type props, such as Spirit Slates, Haunted Keys, etc., to form a set of paranormal effects or even an invisible force to show telekinetic capabilities.
It can even be presented as a comedic “lie detector” type routine, by secretly manipulating the bell to let the audience know if they are telling the truth.
The appearance of the Spirit Bell Pro is very unassuming and classic. The base and bracket are made from dark grain wood. The brass bell is hung on the post with a string. The audience can even hang it up by themselves, and the natural presentation method makes the effect even more incredible.
In terms of pricing, if you search Spirit Bells, most versions would cost hundreds of dollars. The Spirit Bell Pro may be the most cost-effective electronic remote control Spirit Bell to date.

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s actually way too accurate. The original ad copy revealed and explained the method. I’ve edited out the words and phrases that reveal too much. All you need to know is that four AAA batteries are included, so you can start performing this right out of the box.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
There is none, other than flipping a switch to activated or de-activate a gimmick. Although you may also want to check an item located in the base before you perform to make sure you won’t need any replacements during the performance.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour, Stage, Internet
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
If you’ve been looking for an elegant, yet plain-looking, hands-off spirit bell that looks nice and cost-effectively priced, then this will certainly interest you. Though I can’t vouch for the longevity of this, this is one of TCC’s best products and one definitely recommended if you’re looking for something like this.
