Hypnotist flies really well in moderate breeze, comfortably trickable below 12mph, a bit harder with a strong breeze but satisfying power. Seems pretty durable. I'm in the UK so paid about £30 tax and £10 FedEx customs fee but still decent value. Slightly neurotic design criticism: the lock together lower spreaders have a tiny bit of play and the centre label on one of them is upside down when assembled. Overall a really good product!
5 stars … I have been flying a Prism Hypnotist kite since 2021 and can honestly say it is probably the best kite you will ever own! I fly at the beach anytime we travel and when I fly with the 75’ black and white tail everyone comes out to watch. Awesome kite …. great fun …. excellent value!
I love this kite !
It's given me years, and countless hours of pleasure !
I've been flying Prism Hypnotists since they were available. I have several. I'm no pro at tricks but I've spent 20 years enjoying trying to emulate Mr. Reeds excellent abilities. I've had one of my Hypnos with me every trek to the beach, every trek to the park, school yard etc. It never disappoints me. If you want to learn tricks I think it's the best kite bang for your buck. I own many of the kites prism produced. I fly them all. When I learn a new trick on one I go back and try it on the rest. I've never went back to my hypnotist and thought funny I can't get it to do one of the new tricks. It is probably one of the most flown prism kites in my bag. I also don't find myself cringing at the thought of a new trick on the hypno. Their still made and only a call away for parts. I've come back to it with a new trick in my bag and every time some little tug, give or sensing line tension gets it to perform. Since I'm no pro I'll list the tricks I'm competent at with my hypno. Fade, Backflip, lazy susan, flick flack, stall, axle, half axle, coin toss I think that's it. I also find I break less parts on the hypno.
Pretty awesome kite, flying it is pretty easy for as long as the wind is greater than 15mph. With that said, the kite will pull a 75’ tail that’s wet out of the ocean! Turns, loops and steering are easy peasy and a great deal of fun! Not disappointed in the least!
This kite really isn’t for young children. My 9yr old daughter can fly it well, tho if the wind is too brisk, it will pull her along!
