The "Magic Switch Box" is an effect created
decades ago, with a few switches and different coloured bulbs. The wiring
is visible; it is obvious to know which switch turns on which bulb.
The magic begins when the colours of the bulbs are mixed,
but each switch turns on the bulb of its corresponding colour, even though the
electrical connections do not match.
The classic versions only allowed the basic effect: mixing
the colours of the bulbs.
New versions appeared that allowed for a few different
effects, but still performed the same routine. For some, this routine may
be a bit long, for others, it is insufficient or unsuitable. It also
cannot be repeated for the same audience, since the same effects occur and in
the same order.
The main downside is that the public often feels like there
is something hidden controlling the operation, and most versions have parts
that are not visible or suspicious. This is why quite often it looks more
like a puzzle or riddle and rarely gives the impression of being magical.
Improvements
This is not a new effect and there are already several
versions on the market. What is the special feature of the Switch Board?
This version is the smallest we can imagine: an electronic
circuit only 1.6 mm thick. On this circuit are welded 4 switches, 4 bulb
holders and a battery holder. There is no place to hide anything!
We have thought of a powerful and magical ending that will leave
audiences in awe.
It brings 2 easy-to-perform pre-recorded routines, and the
ability to create 3 additional routines to your liking. This allows you to
have 5 routines in the same circuit, being able to use whatever you want at any
time. You can show the Switch Board to the same audience but with a
different routine.
It offers 7 different effects that you can choose from to
create your own routines.
Our bulbs are LED (low power consumption and longer life),
they are large and have a light diffuser. This allows the light to be
viewed perfectly from any angle.
The program that controls the entire operation of the
control panel is open source. This means you can tweak it to your liking
and reprogram your circuit to change how it works if you know how and feel like
it.
Routines and Effects
The circuit allows you to have 5 different
routines. Two of them are programmed, one is basic, and the other is
intermediate. So you can use it as you receive it without any
complications.
In total, you can do 5 routines with your Switch
Board. You can choose at any time the routine to be performed. The
reset is instantaneous and you choose the routine in front of the audience
without any suspicion, so you can perform a different routine in front of the
same audience.
To build the routines, we have 7 possible effects. The
effects are different from each other and allow you to build the routine
gradually in strength and complexity.
Create routines
With a few sequences of turning the switches on and off, you
can create a new routine, choose the effects you want to do, in what order, if
you want to repeat them, etc. There is a step by step video that explains
this and it is very simple. If you don't want them anymore, you can change
them as many times as you want.
What about magic?
In addition to the magic and the effects of the Switch
Board, we chose to take it a step further, we wanted the effect to have a
magical ending.
Regardless of the routines or presentations, we wanted to be
able to end the routine with a powerful and unforgettable effect. If there
is anyone left with a sense of indifference, end them for good.
The spectator touches and chooses
All the choices that can be made with the Switch Board are
free. When it is necessary to change a colour, to mix the bulbs, to choose
a position ... the spectator always chooses freely.
Before, during and after, the Switchboard can be in the
spectator's hands. He is fully examinable, he can look at it and touch it,
and there is nothing he cannot understand. They can flip switches and reposition
bulbs, but the circuit will only do magic when the magician wants it to.
If you have a good handle on your audience, you can let them
do it all. If you are not sure, you can hold the circuit in your hands and
show the effects, and let them check the circuit several times during these
steps. Either way, they feel complete freedom or transparency at all
times.
A tested and improved product
Did you know that the Switch Board has been tested and
approved by independent beta testers around the world?
9 magicians from 5 countries with experience in different
fields (engineers, teachers, and manufacturers, amateur and professional
magicians ...) tested the product for a month and gave their
opinion. Thanks to their comments and suggestions, we have created an even
better product. We've included a "quick start guide", we've
simplified the routines, made a more robust product, increased the magic power,
included a carry bag ... A lot of their opinions have been
used to improve the product. We left a perfect product of which we are
very proud, but also very grateful, because without their help it would not
have been the same.
