Silhouette by Tobias Dostal

A revolutionary new concept in magic.

“The use of shadow & light really bring magic to life. This effect will definitely become part of my repertoire.” 
– Cyril Takayama 

“What Tobias did was literally one of the most creative things I’ve seen in a long, long time.” 
– Daniel Garcia 

“This trick will not stay in the shadow very long. INCREDIBLE, I LOVE IT… I want to try that RIGHT AWAY!” 
– David Stone 

“That was easily one of the most surprising and original effects I have ever seen. It freaked me out a little bit and I loved it.” 
– Jeremy Griffith (aka @lost_angelus) 

“Are you f—ing kidding me?! How the f— does he come up with this s—! F— him, f— this effect, and f— his hair. It’s f—ing incredible.” 
– Xavior Spade 

“I absolutely love it. It’s so visual, it’s so unique, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. It’s REALLY great!” 
– Angelo Carbone 

“I was just blown away with the effect of Silhouette, but now that he’s showed me the method… One syllable, Wow!” 
– Gregory Wilson

“That was the craziest thing I’ve seen. I don’t even know what happened, but it was sick and I want to do it too!” 
– Steven Brundage

Light and shadow, one cannot exist without the other. Light brings knowledge, darkness brings mystery, but true magic exists in between.

Silhouette is unlike anything you’ve witnessed before. With a simple shadow, Tobias Dostal creates a moment so pure, so impossible, and so visceral that it could start a religion. Simply put, Silhouette gives you the uncanny ability to manipulate and interact with shadows.

With Silhouette, you have ultimate control over the realm of shadows. You can take a shadow and pluck it into reality. You can freeze your shadow in time. You can form shadows from things that don’t exist. You can steal your spectator’s shadow. You can even create a misbehaving shadow that snatches objects from your very hands (sometimes it’ll even tickle you). Your shadows can be lighthearted, downright mischievous, or simply unexplainable, you decide.
“This is one of the best close-up illusions that I have ever seen. Absolutely Amazing.” 
– Russ Stevens 

“This man is a genius, what he just showed me is not just an illusion, but real magic… When you see it, you too will be rocked like I was.” 
– Franz Harary 

“It blew my mind. This is amazing, you’re going to want to do this. Trust me.” 
– Richard Sanders 

“I just had my brains scrambled… It’s like this idea that every magician fantasizes about, and the guy actually made it a reality. It’s like Disneyworld in real life. This is insane.” 
– Max Major

“I don’t want to foreshadow what I just saw, but it’s freakin’ brilliant. Awesome Awesome Awesome!” 
– Chris Korn 

“This is James Bond stuff right here… this is brilliant!” 
– Steve Valentine

“So great dammit” 
– Odrej Psenicka
