Never underestimate the power of one's senses when it comes to evoking powerful emotions. What if you were able to manipulate the sensory perceptions of your spectators?
Fragrance offers unforgettable experiences based on one's sense of smell! Calix is a French mentalist magician, a real worker who thinks, tests and brings his tricks and creations to a very high level. Creator of Sigaba and Social Assistant, Calix offers a new idea with FRAGRANCE.
One word will resonate after this effect: IMPOSSIBLE!
And yet, what you will demonstrate to your audience is quite possible with Fragrance and fits only in your pocket!
After greeting your spectators, you take out a small fragrance sample spray and bring it into close proximity of a spectator asking if they can recognize the scent. Next you take a spectators hand and lightly sprayed the fragrance. Each one clearly identifies the fragrance that comes out this spray by smelling the liquid that you have just deposited on the spectator hand.
At the count of 3, this smell disappears, and can no longer be smelled by the participant(s)! Did they just loose their sense of smell? Are they under hypnosis? Or is their brain playing tricks on them? Whenever you wish and without the slightest effort, the magician is able to magically regenerate the fragrance which returns to their hand - allowing the spectator to smell the fragrance once again! This can even be repeated a second time - if desired.
But there is MORE! The magicians executes a new snap of his/her fingers and this time, the fragrance disappears completely for everyone.
Choose another spectator from the audience, and ask him/her to come up and ask him to extend his hand in close proximity to his nose and, as incredible as it may seem, the perfume has traveled! That's right - magically you have transferred the scent into the palm of the 2nd spectators hand. Before the magical cast of the scent happens it is important to note you the magician is not physically close enough to make such feat happen though slight of hand. That's the POWER of this effect. The 2nd spectator can be called up from a seated position to the stage all the while the magicians distance yet this sensual fragrance transfer happens none the less.
You read right, you have just realized the impossible, something totally impalpable has moved from one hand to the other of the spectators.
And you know what? This effect is so easy to perform that you will be shocked by all the beautiful convincers and subtleties, because Fragrance is extraordinarily simple. The performance is full of little subtleties that, at each step, reinforce the beliefs of the spectators. How can you create more of a miracle than this.

"This is my favorite effect of 2024 so far; the convincers are truly diabolical." - Jiro
It is a really unique effect. Really well made, easy to use, practical to carry. If you're a close-up performer, it is really straightforward and clever. The method is so simple and you get a lot of effects! If you add this to your show, it does add some texture, a different kind of dimension to it. The effect is really strong because it just seems quite impossible/inexplicable that the smell the scent suddenly disappears from the spectator's hand. A strong piece that you can add to your repertoire!" - Nique Tan
"If you're going to carry a sharpie with you anyway it should do a trick. And this trick is really REALLY cool! It doesn't look like anything else in your routine. Who else has tricks that you smell?! What a powerful thing when we start doing tricks for the senses... This trick crosses all borders: close-up, parlor, mentalism. Very well made & extremely easy. Fragrance offers so many opportunities!" - Magic Orthodoxy
"It's something fresh and never seen before. I really like the approach. The gimmick is very well made. It's great, it's fun to perform and you can carry with you... Get it and you will be very happy that I just told you to do this." - Lucas Volpe
"This was performed for me at Blackpool a couple of years back and I absolutely loved it. So pleased to see it released as I had a few ideas of my own for this so look forward to picking one up." - Michael Murray
