Is the Hypnotist good for a beginner?

Yes. Prism rates it beginner to advanced, and the large span and stable frame make it forgiving while you learn. Expect some practice before tricks like yo-yos work.

How does it compare with the Prism Quantum?

It uses the Quantum's tough frame with the Quantum Pro's wing shape. Owners say it is more nimble and precise than the Quantum while staying durable.

What wind does it need?

Prism lists 4 to 25 mph, and it flies best in moderate wind. Light air makes it sluggish, and strong gusts are harder to manage.

What comes in the box?

The kite arrives ready to fly with an 85-foot, 150-pound Dyneema lineset and handles. You supply the open space and steady breeze.

How much space do I need?

The 94-inch span and 85-foot lines call for a large open field or beach. Keep clear of trees, buildings and other people.

Older kids and teens can with adult help, but the pull and line handling suit adults better. It is not a toy-grade kite for young children.

About the Hypnotist Stunt Kite

High performance wing shape, durable frame. The Hypnotist combines the best of both for learning new tricks and everyday fun.
