Bigger

Nikolas Mavresis

(Based on 1 review)
Bigger is a perfect EDC with one of the most common everyday objects - a lighter.

You point out the small BIC logo on the lighter and ask your audience if they can read it. You mention it would be easier to read if the logo were big. Instantly the logo amazingly becomes BIG, taking up the entire length of the lighter! You say let's go even bigger, and in the blink of an eye the lighter doubles in size and the logo also transforms a second time from 'BIG' to 'BIGGER'! The lighter can immediately be handed out for examination!

Bigger is stunning organic magic that's quick, insanely visual and easy to do, all achieved with minimal, very easy sleight of hand, taught by Chris James.

You will receive 2 sets of custom printed stickers (plus an extra something), so just supply your own lighters and you'll be ready to go!

Overview

Bigger is the ultimate everyday carry featuring one of the most common items - a lighter. Not only will the logo on the lighter quickly and magically grow larger, so will the lighter. The lighter can then even change color red to black or black to red and then if you so desire completely vanish it. Bigger is a stunning effect that is quick, visually captivating and incredibly easy to perform.

Effect

You show the BIC logo on a small sized lighter and ask your audience if they can read it. You mention it would be easier to read if the logo were big. Instantly the logo amazingly becomes BIGer taking up the entire length of the lighter! You say let's go even bigger and in the blink of an eye the lighter doubles in size and the logo also transforms a second time from 'BIG' to 'BIGGER'! The lighter can immediately be handed out for examination!

Method

It is accomplished using minimal sleight of hand, the (p***le) move that most of you will be already familiar with. If you are a newbie to magic this would be a great start to learn it. You will learn various ways to accomplish the move, several changes, switches, color change and several ways to vanish the lighter, lots of ideas to choose from. Bigger is the perfect everyday carry, small, portable and organic. The angles are the same as a Hot Rod and the likes so this effect is very easy and fun to perform.

Product Quality

You will receive 2 sets of very good quality custom printed stickers that will last a long time, you will however need to supply your own lighters which is no big deal. The 38 minute downloadable tutorial includes how to apply the stickers, a few live performances, over the shoulder studio shots and the sleight demonstrated in front of a tri-fold mirror so you can actually see all your spectators views - left, right and center. Very well done and the sound quality is great.

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad text and video trailer truly and accurately describe what you will able to do with this effect.

Final Thoughts

Use your own imagination to come up with other creative ideas. If you have performed Hot Rod, Color Changing Knives, etc. you will really enjoy adding Bigger to your repertoire. Ideal for strolling, table magic in restaurants/bars or just out casually with friends. Highly recommended.

Suggestions

You can incorporate the lighter into earlier effects in your routine (anything involving flash paper, fire, … ) and then reintroduce the Bic lighter to perform Bigger.
