The FLY LITE by Marcos Waldemar

The Fly Lite by Marcos Waldemar & Invisible Compass

A card is freely chosen. It goes back into the deck. And then a fly lands on it.

Not a toy fly. Not an illustration. A real fly, crawling across the face of the exact card your spectator selected, right in front of their eyes.

That is The Fly Lite, and it is one of those effects that produces a reaction no other close-up trick in your bag can replicate. There is something deeply instinctive about watching a living creature apparently understand what it should not be able to understand. Audiences laugh, they recoil, they grab the person next to them. They talk about it for the rest of the night. Because a fly finding a chosen card is not something that fits into any rational category, and the memory of it does not fade the way a card trick does.

Marcos Waldemar and Invisible Compass built The Fly Lite as the most accessible and affordable version of one of magic's most beloved animal-based effects: a streamlined, walk-around-ready update of a ten-year bestseller that has been leaving audiences stunned in living rooms, restaurants, and street performances around the world. The secret is beautifully simple, the gimmick is always ready to go, and the whole thing requires no skill whatsoever to perform. You do not need to be a sleight-of-hand artist to get a scream out of a room with this one.

The presentation is entirely yours to build. Is the fly trained? Hypnotised? Captured? Following some invisible signal only you can give? Whatever story you choose to wrap around the moment, the effect itself does all the heavy lifting. You just set the scene and let the fly do what it does.

This is the kind of magic that makes people remember you. Not as the person who did a good card trick. As the magician who has a trained fly.

"Marcos has a very inventive mind. His magic gives us all inspiration. The Fly will shock, delight and amaze you." Jeff McBride
