Ever fancied bending the rules of reality? Fragrance is here to deliver unforgettable olfactory magic! Crafted by Calix, a French mentalist magician who's all about the grind (and a good bit of fun), this one's a real gem. You might know him from his creations like Sigaba and Social Assistant, but now he's back with something entirely new:
Fragrance. After your performance, the audience will be left scratching their heads, thinking: IMPOSSIBLE!
But fear not! What you’ll show off with
Fragrance is utterly doable and fits snugly in your pocket (no, really!).
Picture this: you greet your audience and whip out a dinky little perfume spray. You give it a spritz, and voila! The familiar scent of cherries wafts through the air. Everyone can smell it—no tricks here! But here’s where it gets interesting: on the count of three, that scent vanishes. Panic ensues. Has she lost her sense of smell? Is she hypnotised? Is her brain pulling a fast one? Like a seasoned pro, you effortlessly bring the scent back whenever you fancy, and the spectator can once again enjoy that delectable cherry aroma. Incredible, right? You can even pull this off a second time!
And wait, there’s more! A quick snap of your fingers, and suddenly, the cherry scent is gone for everyone. It’s like a magic trick but with smells—how bonkers is that? Now, you pick another spectator, ask them to extend their hand, and—would you believe it—this fragrant marvel has switched hands! Yes, you read that right. You’ve just pulled off the impossible, moving something intangible from one person to another—all at your command.
And you know what?
"If you can feel it, you can do it!" Absolutely!
Fragrance is astonishingly straightforward. Each step is loaded with clever little touches that reinforce your audience's belief in the magic, creating a truly memorable experience.
Fragrance isn’t just a trick; it’s a nifty addition to your magic repertoire that packs a punch, offering more than just a single olfactory experience.

- PK Touch (invisible touch) routine based on smell
- Change the smell of a fruit or object.
- Place perfume on a photograph, a piece of paper, or a playing card.
- Make the smell of a little cherry drawn in your hand travel.

"A fantastic utility device that opens a plethora of effects and routines, limited only by your imagination." - Banachek"This was performed for me at Blackpool a couple of years back and I absolutely loved it. So pleased to see it released as I had a few ideas of my own for this so look forward to picking one up." - Michael Murray"It's something fresh and never seen before. I really like the approach. The gimmick is very well made. It's great, it's fun to perform and you can carry it with you... Get it and you will be very happy that I just told you to do this." - Luca Volpe"It is a really unique effect. Really well made, easy to use, practical to carry. If you're a close-up performer, it is really straightforward and clever. The method is so simple, and you get a lot of effects! If you add this to your show, it does add some texture, a different kind of dimension to it. The effect is really strong because it just seems quite impossible/inexplicable that the scent suddenly disappears from the spectator's hand. A strong piece that you can add to your repertoire." - Nique Tan Review"If you're going to carry a Sharpie with you anyway, it should do a trick. And this trick is REALLY cool! It doesn't look like anything else in your routine. Who else has tricks that involve smell?! What a powerful thing when we start doing tricks for the senses... This trick crosses all borders: close-up, parlor, mentalism. Very well made & extremely easy. Fragrance offers so many opportunities!" - Magic Orthodoxy (Review)
