The Baffling Phones by TCC & Conan Liu is an old illusion using cell phones. It creates a psychological experiment in which the spectator finds fewer phones feel heavier. It can be used for comedy, mentalism, hypnosis, bizarre magic, & seances with no threads, magnets, electronics, or sleight of hand. The set includes 3 customized cell phones and an online instructional video.

A modern take on a classic illusion, inspired by the old Charpentier illusion (the size-weight illusion).

Effect: You tell your audience that you are about to do a psychological experiment with some everyday objects. Three cell phones are placed on the table, stacked on top of each other. You have a spectator reach out and pick up three of the cell phones, then pick up two, then just one. They soon discover that a single cell phone weighs more than all three phones together. Yes! The fewer they pick up, the heavier it feels.

There are limitless amounts of presentation possibilities. It can be performed with comedy, mentalism, hypnosis, bizarre magic, and seances. The only skills needed are making your routine relevant and supporting it with the right script for your purposes.

Instead of using metal boxes or card cases, which may look like they could have been weighted to achieve the necessary weight, causing the illusion to not be as deceptive and organic, the cell phone is an everyday object that everyone carries. Using cell phones to do this effect makes more sense and triggers less suspicion.

Features:
  • Utilizes a natural principle of physics! The only trickery is happening inside your head!
  • No threads, magnets, or any sticky material
  • No electronics
  • Instant reset
  • Can be performed anytime and anywhere
  • No sleight of hands.
You will receive:

Three (3) customized cell phone models that have been specifically designed, so they are the perfect weight for the illusion.Online instructional video, in which Conan Liu will not only show you how he performs it in his parlor show but also teach you how to incorporate your spectators' own cell phones to do this effect with the gimmick.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.

Absolutely top-knotch
Format: Kindle
9.5/10 This is the pinnacle of Star Wars comic books. A great way to tie in their Indiana Jones character in Aphra and the mainline series to tell an amazing story. Only complaint is a couple of the issues artwork I was not a fan of. I like the more realistic look. Just make sure you read Aphra book 1 and the previous SW books to understand it better. Aphra book 1 being more important

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.

Luke and Doctor Aphra team up!
Format: Paperback
This is the second crossover event in the Marvel Star Wars comics. It brings the ongoing Doctor Aphra and Star Wars series together. I liked the pairing of Luke with Aphra. They play well off of each other with Luke's naive goodness and Aphra's experienced gray morality. I liked when she called him a wannabe padawan. There are some well designed characters in this comic. The residents of the Screaming Citadel have a goth bdsm vibe. Luke even gets to dress up. I liked seeing him in something different. I want to know more about Sana and Aphra's past!!! Please, Marvel, make a queer love story prequel!!! The murder droids are wonderful. Having them on the same side as the "good guys" for at least the time being led to some funny situations. The last panel intrigued me. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. I am always here for more Doctor Aphra!
