Product Description

The Hypnotist is a great introduction to freestyle tricks as well as a durable all-around wing for everyday fun. We combined the high aspect wing geometry of the Quantum Pro with the bulletproof frame design of the Quantum to create a performance hybrid with the balance of a competition kite but the durability to handle all the abuse you can dish out while you learn. The full-sized, 8-foot wing span makes it precise and forgiving, while its higher aspect ratio gives greater pitch sensitivity to handle the latest yo-yo and freestyle moves with ease. Specially engineered leading edge connectors match the flex of the wing so you don't over-stress your frame. Shock absorber system protects the spine in those over-zealous power dives. Hand-wrapped, tapered Dynamic graphite lower spreaders boost acceleration and add a high-end feel in the corners. Step up to the Hypnotist if you’ve already learned the basics on a beginner model. Or if you're a quick learner, make it your first kite knowing you'll log many hours of fun before you need to upgrade. Comes complete with our acclaimed Freestyle Pilot DVD, our proven step-by-step course that will take you from basic landings to the most advanced acrobatics. Ready to fly with Spectra lines, polycarbonate winder, DVD, and flight straps.

Great all-around kite
By S. Marble
I purchased the Prism Hypnotist with the Fire Color scheme. This kite looks sharp!

I am not very good at any of the advanced tricks, so I cannot comment on it's performance there. However, as a newer kite flier I can tell you that it has taken a lot of abuse. Friends have nose dived it straight into the ground at least ten times without anything breaking. At the beach with a strong wind the kite has great pull and is a lot of fun to fly. It also came with a dvd which was very helpful.

My only complaint is that after the first use, one of the lines stretched to about 6 inches longer than the other one. This was fixed by using a tent stake to hold the handle straps so that I could stretch the lines out. Then I untied the knots, slid the sheathing on the line to be even with the other line and then retied the knots. It only took about 15 minutes to fix.

I did a lot of research before I bought this kite. I purchased it because it is regarded as a kite that gives lots of room to learn and grow because it can do all of the tricks, and it is also very durable and therefore suitable for beginners. It has definitely lived up to its reputation.

Good performer -- fair production quality
By Mark Rocket
This kite has a good overall flight performance with the exception of excessive oscillation in the wing tips at high speed (15k wind). Only fair production quality -- one of the female connector's glue attachment came apart in first assembly. The other two came off after first flight -- not happy making repairs right out of the box. Good product but should be better made, or better quality control at this price level. I have cheaper kites from other lines that are made just as well if not better.

Go fly a Kite! It's a BLAST!!!!!!!!
By Bobby
I have not flown a kite since I was a kid. It's sad that I waited so long to go back to something this fun.
It's a great work out, not that hard and something for the whole family or a group of friends.
Great time with lots of laughs a really great time.
Prim kites I think are some of the best on the market. I say that because I have 5 different brands and a total of 12 kites. Why so many, because my family and friends get together on the park for food and kites!
Go to another level of fun and closeness with the ones you love. Yes you can get them to fly a kite, or
your just not a very good sales person. Happy flying :)
