Every great wizard, cosmic villain and ancient sorcerer knows you haven’t made it to the big leagues until you can summon glowing orbs of pure energy from your enchanted fingertips.
We’ve discovered the mystic secrets. Come see for yourself!
What inspired you to make this project?:
Pulsating energy orbs have been imagined in countless science fiction movies, ranging from Dr. Strange to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and even Big Trouble in Little China and so we thought, Why Not? In addition to our special effect design being completely safe (unlike in the movies!) we knew Sphera Mortem (“Death Ball” in English) also had to be mesmerizing. We love magic shows and we wanted to create a special effect that the top illusionists would approve of.
