Stessel's Button

(Based on 1 review)
As your empty fingers gently tug the edge of your shirt, the out-cast button slowly begins to animate.. gradually inching its way up your shirt.. Astonishingly sliding up to its proper position.. where it stops!
Someone immediately tugs on the haunted button and examines everything. The button is genuinely sewn to your shirt!
- No Palming
- Hands are always empty
- Completely self contained
- Perform Surrounded
- Wear gimmick all day long
- Re-sets in seconds
- No altering of shirt
- Adapts to just about any normal shirt-button size or color.
- Gimmick easily transfers to different shirts
- Incredibly easy to do.

This is a strange effect. This seems to be an effect that was created to be sold, since there is no performance of the effect.
If the performance was the magician on the street, and someone asking him why his button was in the wrong place, and the magician says, “hang on, let me fix it” then magically moves the button back, that’d at least have a context. My problem with this context though is that it makes the magician look like a doofus who didn’t realize the button on his shirt was misplaced.
That aside, I think the effect is a nifty idea. It’s an animation, it’s a restoration, and it’s a cool method.
The bonus effects also quite good, and I think could stand as it’s own product.
Overall, I think this could be a neat street magic effect for a teenager.
