THE BIZARRE TRICK OF THE YEAR!
A classic sideshow effect – practically reinvented
With the sensational release of "HOOK", Eric Ross astonished the magic scene by transforming a stage classic into an intense close-up thriller. But that's not all: the effect was thrilling, safe, clever, and perfectly designed for the modern magician. Three years later, "Eye-Candy" is the next chapter in this exciting journey!
With a borrowed Tic Tac, the spectator places it in the magician's mouth. Slowly but surely, it is pushed through the inner layer of the face and eventually ends up in the performer's eye socket! The spectator can even help press the Tic Tac and feel it move inside the face. If the audience isn't completely shocked yet, you can even eat the Tic Tac at the end – for that extra gross-out factor.
PRACTICAL FOR THE EVERYDAY MAGICIAN
Just like "Hook", "Eye-Candy" offers all the elements that make a practical thriller:
A modern prop, a well-thought-out method, and quick setup for walking acts. The effect can be performed completely surrounded. Since nothing suspicious is visible, you appear like a true modern magician.
In addition, you receive a specially designed transport box that keeps your gimmick safe and hygienic and assists you with quick setup. It also requires minimal space in your bag.
HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTION BY HANSON CHIEN
The most important aspect of "Eye Candy" is: It was developed to be 100% safe.
The gimmick is made from medical-grade materials, similar to those used in surgical instruments. It does not melt, does not irritate the skin, does not break, and causes no harm to the body.
To ensure the highest quality, Eric Ross collaborated with Hanson Chien – one of the most renowned manufacturers of magic props worldwide.
There have been many variations of this "object-into-eye" effect, but never a professionally developed product that allows this effect safely and controllably. If you liked the safety of "HOOK", you will be even more impressed by "EYE CANDY".
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY
A large part of the safety comes from the training:
Over 40 minutes of training by Sean Chou, Poker Chen, and Eric Ross guide you through safety aspects and performance tips. Included are several live performances and studio explanations with various variations.
Additionally, beginners were filmed learning the effect for the first time – in real-time from start to finish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
