Light and shadow, like a couple of dodgy mates, can't exist without each other. Light brings knowledge, darkness throws in a bit of mystery, but the real magic happens in the grey area (which is also where I keep my snacks).
Silhouette isn't just another trick; it's a proper showstopper. With just a flick of a shadow, Tobias Dostal conjures moments so pure and impossible that you might want to consider starting a cult (it’s that good). In layman's terms, Silhouette gives you the bizarre ability to mess about with shadows like you own the place.
With Silhouette, you're the boss of shadows. You can yank a shadow into the real world, freeze it in time, or even summon shadows from thin air (not literally, mind you). Feel like being cheeky? Steal a spectator's shadow or create one that has a personality—perhaps a cheeky little rascal that snatches things from your hands (it might even give you a tickle). Your shadows can be playful, downright naughty, or just plain confounding; it's entirely your call.

Can be performed with a borrowed phone (no need for a fancy gadget)
Your phone is never rigged (that’s a promise)
Instant reset (because who has time to faff about?)
Packs small, plays big (think of it as a shadowy TARDIS)

Ideal for magicians, mentalists, and even mediums (no judgement here)
Shadows are compatible with all countries—yes, even yours
Shadows can be your own or even borrowed (sharing is caring, right?)
This isn't just an illusion; it's a whole new genre of magic. This is Silhouette.
