Eye Candy by Hanson Chien

THE BIZARRE TRICK OF THE YEAR!
A SIDESHOW CLASSIC, PRACTICALLY REINVENTED
With the sensational release of "HOOK," Eric Ross stunned the magic community by transforming a stage idea into an intimate close-up thriller. Not only that, it was exciting, safe, clever, and designed squarely for the modern performer. 3 years later, "Eye-Candy" is the next chapter in this thrilling journey!

Using a borrowed Tic Tac, the spectator places it in the performer's mouth. Slowly but surely, it is pushed through the INNER LAYER of the face, eventually ending up in the performer's eye socket! The spectator can even help push the Tic Tac and feel the bump move across the face. And if the audience isn't shocked enough, you can even eat the Tic Tac for that extra-gross effect.

PRACTICAL FOR THE EVERYDAY PERFORMER
Just like "hook," "Eye-Candy" has all the great elements that make it a practical thriller: a modern prop, a workable method, easy setup for walkaround. The entire effect can be performed surrounded. With nothing else visible to the audience, you truly come across as a modern magician.

Plus, it comes with a special carrying case designed to keep your gimmick safe, sterile, and aid in your setup process. It's also designed to take up minimal pocket space.

QUALITY MANUFACTURING BY HANSON CHIEN
The most important point about "EYE CANDY" is that it's designed to be 100% SAFE. That's why the gimmick is made from MEDICAL GRADE MATERIALS, the same material used in surgical instruments by surgeons; the gimmick will not melt, irritate the skin, tear, or harm the body. To ensure the gimmick is produced with the highest quality, Eric collaborated with Hanson Chien, one of the most renowned prop manufacturers in magic.

There have been many versions of this "object to eye" plot, but never a professional, specially designed product to help you achieve this effect in a safe, controlled manner. If you appreciated how safe "HOOK" is, you'll be even more impressed by "EYE CANDY."

EXPERT TRAINING TO KEEP YOU SAFE
Part of safety also comes from high-quality training. Over 40 minutes of expert instruction from Sean Chou, Poker Chen, and Eric Ross guide you through both safety instructions and performance tips – with multiple live performances and studio walkthroughs to show you all the different variations. We even brought in people who had never learned this effect before and filmed their learning process in real-time – from start to finish. (Spoiler alert: they all nailed it!).

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How safe is “Eye Candy” really?
There's a reason we developed this effect based on “Tic Tacs”: a LIGHT object with a POLISHED, SMOOTH surface. This is a much, much safer object than other options previously used in magic plots involving the eye. As long as you know what you're doing at all times, you'll be very safe. Please watch the ENTIRE tutorial and learn carefully; we've done everything on our part to provide the safest prop and detailed instructions – it's your job to take good care of yourself during the performance.

2. Is this product consumable? Do I need to buy refills?
Our gimmick is designed to be reusable and durable. The only refills you'll need to buy are the actual Tic Tacs you eat! (OUR PRODUCT DOES NOT COME WITH REAL TIC TACS.)

3. How long does setup take?
Less than 30 seconds. You can prepare it anywhere, as long as no one sees you (a quick bathroom break would work). The carrying case is designed to assist you with setup from start to finish – so it should be very straightforward.

4. Can I perform EYE CANDY with contact lenses?
Yes. In the trailer, our performers are already wearing contact lenses during the performance, so it's perfectly fine. We've also provided additional adjustment and performance tips for performers with contact lenses to ensure everyone can perform the effect as intended.

5. Can I REALLY learn this? How steep is the learning curve?
In the tutorial, we invited people who had never done this before to learn it with us; everyone was able to grasp it within the first few minutes. We also included Eric Ross's original tutorial to cover all content from the very beginnings of this routine.
