The shadowy witch outfit is an iconic and popular choice for Halloween or other costume events. It typically consists of a long, flowing black dress or cloak, often made of silky or velvet material. The dress may have a hood or high collar, adding to the mysterious and spooky vibe of the outfit. One of the key features of the shadowy witch outfit is its dark color palette. Black is the predominant color, representing darkness and the occult. It creates a sense of mystery and lends an air of mystique to the wearer.
I really like the product, and it can do everything like in the demo video. I especially like the hands free method. Making a ring float and moving around with my hands completely free? Amazing! Just please don't forget to unwind the thread (like I did) after you preform hovering ring or lifesaver. Your thread will break like crazy if you spin the ring at the same direction all the time and don't unwind the thread.
I had some issues when the thread got broken and I couldn't find the beginnning. Yigal teaches you how to deal with that problem but still, it makes you loose thread.
If you are a beginner at ITR I highly recommend to get some extra ITR, because I spent mine when the thread broke about 8 times.
I think that tarantula should include at least 2 extra spools with it. But the thread should not break so much when you get more comfortable with it.
It is practical as well for beginners but i recommend first to get used to classic IT work to avoid breaking the IT with the Tarantula 2 and buying a lot of spools P. The handling to this trick could be better, in a sense that I do not like the way he handled the thread with the deck in this trick as much as Spooked.
It creates a sense of mystery and lends an air of mystique to the wearer. The outfit may also incorporate other dark colors such as deep purples, blues, or greens, further enhancing the witchy aesthetic. Accessories play a crucial role in completing the shadowy witch look.
Tarantyla magic trick
After playing with the tarantula, I was very pleased. I have concluded that this gimmick is as versatile as TT! Great product that Yigal released. I've been using the spider pen for three years now and have been having difficulties with it. There are endless possibilities with tarantula.
Quality of the gimmick- I would give it 8.5/10 due to the durability, could be better. Had issues with the motor spooler falling off while taking the spool out. BUT do not let that deter you from purchasing this. Nothing is perfect. Therefore you can easily fix this with a little superglue or I prefer some rubber cement glue. I forgot to mention one more thing, the gimmick, when you stretch it out to fit, BE CAREFUL! I stretched mine a little too far and ripped the gimmick a little. Make sure you don't over stretch it. 8/10
floating ring/Hovering- Great effect that requires audience management and takes LOTS of practice to perfect it. I'm currently still working on it and trying to find the perfect ring for this. I would suggest using a light wedding band for this. Wow yigal came up with the break system which is truly a great innovation to thread work that combines with Steve Fearsons' hookup. This is a truly captivating effect. It is almost like REAL MAGIC. The psychology behind this plus the new applications can be used with different objects besides a ring. The trick speaks for itself, you can see this trick in the demo video. 9/10
Money Magnetism- This trick is hard hitting and simple. Great trick to apply to your act if your a strolling magician/ close up. Basically borrows a bill from the audience and having the bill fly upwards to your other hand. This trick truly defies gravity with a borrowed bill! Like yigal said, "focus on your magic" the tarantula pretty much does the magic for you. All you have to focus on here is the patter. I going to go off topic but if you have read "strong magic" by Darwin Ortiz you can come up with a stellar presentation for this piece. Even if your not a thread worker, I still highly recommend this. 8.5/10 due to the amount of time you need to put into this to be able to perform smoothly.
Haunted Pack- My favorite trick in the whole DVD. I have been doing spooked for about four years now and came across Yigals' haunted pack with the application of the tarantula. Whole new concept due to the new function that the tarantula provides. The trick starts out with the audience member shuffling the deck of cards and selects/signs a card.
The magician cuts the deck in half and asks the audience place back the card. The magician then tells the audience member to focus on their card and then places the deck on the ground. Slow the deck starts to cut in half, then a card shoots out of the deck and it is their selected card.
In my opinion, it is the best trick on this dvd along with the hovering. The handling to this trick could be better, in a sense that I do not like the way he handled the thread with the deck in this trick as much as Spooked. Great for strolling/close up magic. 9.5/10 due to the handling or else I would give it a 10 haha
Magic pen-Great trick for the bars/ strolling magic. Borrowed pen placed it on the table, with no physical contact you make the pen roll all the way off the table and on to your hand. When I do this trick, people go crazy over this. End clean. 9/10
If you are willing to put in the time and effort to master these effects, then you should go out and invest $70 into the tarantula, I guarantee that you will not only be fooling layman but magicians as well. Do not be discouraged with the looks of the gimmick or how it works. Give it a try, practice at least two weeks with it before making a judgement. The tarantula is worthwhile.
This is my first review. I'm still getting a hang of writing them. Please let me know if I left anything out. Thanks for your time!
Posted: Mar 17, 2009 04:30 amNice review Alex. Hopefully this will help people that are on the fence still.
A pointed hat is a classic choice, adding height and adding to the witchy silhouette. For a more dramatic effect, a wide-brimmed hat can be worn, casting the wearer's face in a shadow. Other accessories can include long gloves, a broomstick, a wand, or a book of spells. These props help to enhance the persona of the witch and add an element of authenticity to the costume. To add an extra touch of spookiness to the shadowy witch outfit, makeup and jewelry can be incorporated. Dark, smoky eye makeup with bold and dramatic colors can create an otherworldly look. Black or deep purple lipstick can add to the overall aesthetic. As for jewelry, black lace chokers, spider-themed earrings, or gothic-style rings can complement the outfit and add a sinister vibe. The shadowy witch outfit offers a versatile and eerie choice for costume enthusiasts. Whether worn for Halloween parties, themed events, or cosplay, this outfit embodies the mysticism and enchantment associated with witches. Its dark colors, flowing silhouette, and accessories come together to create a haunting and unforgettable look..
Reviews for "Witchy vibes: Capturing the essence of sorcery with a shadowy witch outfit"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the shadowy witch outfit. The material was cheap and poorly made, and the sizing was completely off. It looked nothing like the picture online and felt flimsy and uncomfortable. I ended up returning it because I couldn't imagine wearing it to any Halloween party or event. Save your money and look elsewhere for a better quality costume.
2. Jason - 1 star
I cannot express how unsatisfied I am with the shadowy witch outfit. It was a complete waste of money. The costume arrived with several missing pieces, and the ones that were included looked like they were thrown together in a hurry. The fabric was scratchy and took away from the overall spooky appeal I was hoping for. I would not recommend this costume to anyone looking for a well-made and visually striking witch outfit.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I purchased the shadowy witch outfit for a themed costume party, and I was extremely disappointed. The quality was subpar, and the fit was extremely poor. The seams started coming apart after one wear, and the costume overall lacked the dark and mysterious vibe I was expecting. I regretted my purchase and would not recommend this outfit to anyone who is looking for a reliable and visually appealing witch costume.
4. Michael - 3 stars
While the shadowy witch outfit had potential, it fell short in a few areas. The sizing was off, making it difficult to find the right fit. The costume itself seemed promising, but the fabric used was uncomfortable and itchy. On the positive side, the design was unique and interesting. However, I cannot overlook the flaws in fit and quality. I would suggest looking for other options before settling on this particular costume.
