Hoppin’ Spots (manufactured by Empire Magic) is a modern variation of the classic "What-a-Nite" / "Ten-Kai Domino" optical illusion effect. The performer displays a jumbo card or board showing one spot on one side and four spots on the back. Turning it again, the card shows three spots, then six spots. The magician proceeds to explain "how it's done" by strategically covering empty spaces with their hand. However, just as the audience thinks they've figured out the trick, the magician delivers an unexpected kicker ending—eight spots suddenly appear on the reverse side, proving the spots have magically multiplied out of thin air!
Why Add It to Your Repertoire:
This outfit relies on a durable jumbo metal card along with four moveable magnetic spots matching the card's printed dots. Unlike traditional cardboard or paper versions that rely solely on finger placement, the addition of magnetic spots allows for a solid, hands-off kicker finale where all eight spots are physically present on the board. It is an easy-to-do, highly engaging comedy effect ideal for parlor performances, children's shows, and beginner-to-intermediate magicians looking for a reliable, "packs flat, plays big" routine. Complete in its original colorful Empire Magic box with full photo-illustrated instruction sheets.
