Hooked - Rubén Vilagrand: A modern, safe, and spectacular take on the classic hook-swallowing routine!
After years of performance testing and refinement, Rubén Vilagrand shares one of the most personal and acclaimed routines from his professional repertoire.
Hooked draws inspiration from a magic classic (swallowing needles or razor blades), but Rubén has completely reimagined the concept, technique, method... and the emotional impact! In this version, fishhooks are swallowed, making the effect logical, striking, and highly theatrical.
Each set is handcrafted individually to the highest quality standards. The mechanical system was updated in 2024: the line is now replaceable, further extending the prop's lifespan.
An original, versatile, and safe routine
From intimate parlor settings to grand stages, Rubén Vilagrand has performed this routine worldwide—including at the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood and on the show *Fool Us* in Las Vegas. It consistently makes a powerful impression on audiences.
It is easy to transport, plays big, and clearly stands out from classic versions.
