Illuminate debuted at the Blackpool Magic Convention 2024.
The "Lights from Fingertips" has long been a cherished magic effect that many magicians enjoy performing.
With the new Illuminate, you're not just catching light with your fingertips; it now pulses and breathes like a firefly.
Conceived by Joseph Lee and Zio since late 2022. Prior to that, we’ve assisted many magicians in enhancing their stage acts with seamless light transition effects.
The most time-consuming part of the development process was miniaturizing the electronic components and adjusting the speed of the light's gradual brightening and dimming.
More than 10 prototype variations were created just to perfect and refine the timing.
All these efforts were aimed at making the performance more intuitive and optimized.
Illuminate offers three versions:
Version 1 - Gradually Brightens then Instantly Goes Dark: The operation is intuitive, maintaining the intuitive operation like the traditional TT Lights. Activating the gimmick gradually brightens the light, releasing it instantly shuts it.
Version 2 - Instantly Brightens then Gradually Fades: The light instantly appears when you activate the gimmick, while releasing it gradually dims.
Version 3 (Most versatile)- Gradually Brightens and Dims, Able to Pick it Up At Any Time: Version 3 introduces a unique feature: a segmented switch allowing for gradual brightening or dimming. You are also able to activate the light, then the gimmick can be detached from the hand. It will continue to glow without the need to continuously hold the gimmick. Pressing it again gradually fades out the light.
You can choose the version that best suits your performance needs.
[Note: Each Illuminate Version is sold separately.]
Combine all three versions for expanded possibilities.
Illuminate is conveniently rechargeable via USB.
Rest assured, you don't have to worry about how to operate it. Comprehensive tutorials are included to guide you to master the effective use of your Illuminate gimmick.
We've included original methods and routines for all three versions, with tutorials spanning 1 hour and 20 minutes, providing you with plenty of details and ideas.
