Fobulous by Steve Shufton

Fobulous - How would it be possible for two carefully examined, common objects to switch places in the SPECTATOR'S HANDS?

Especially after having examined the performer's hands as well!

Perform this pocket-sized miracle, and you can be certain the results will be

Effect: The spectator examines both of two key fobs and finds them to be exactly as they in fact are: common and ordinary in every way. The two fobs are of different design, so it is easy to tell them apart. The spectator retains the fobs as she examines your hands, and finds them to also be exactly as they are: empty.

The fobs are now positioned, one in each of the participant's hands. She clasps her hands tightly around them – yet with a gesture and snap of your fingers, they trade places. Yes! They trade places! How does the spectator react to the transposition that has just taken place as she is holding the fobs? Most often, the spectator screams or yells!

All can be examined again, including your hands, and on to the next demonstration as it instantly resets. Bold, visual, tactile and astonishing, yet surprisingly simple!

This wonderful effect ticks every box:

  • Not cards or coins
  • Common objects almost everyone has in one form or another
  • Can be thoroughly examined before, during and after
  • Performer's hands can be examined too
  • Magic happens in the spectator's hands
  • Instant reset
  • Perfect for walk-around and restaurant work
  • Can be performed surrounded
  • Easy to do
  • Self-contained
  • No pocket work
  • No shells
  • No clothing requirements
  • High quality, attractive props
  • Built to last
  • Stunning! You will make the participant scream!

To give you an idea of the versatility of Fobulous, check out this very brief "solo" demo. If you like the look of this - wait until you perform it in a participant's hands! They FREAK!!
