The TikTok magic bomb trend is a viral phenomenon that has taken the social media platform by storm. It involves users creating and sharing videos of themselves performing a trick that appears to make objects disappear or explode in a puff of smoke. The trick is often accompanied by a catchy dance or visual effect, making it visually appealing and engaging for viewers. The magic bomb trend originated from a trend started by a user who goes by the username "Magic Mike." He posted a video showcasing his ability to seemingly make objects disappear using a combination of sleight of hand and visual effects. The video quickly gained attention and started a wave of users attempting to replicate the trick.

Located 27 miles out of Boston, MA and Providence, RI, Gillette Stadium is perhaps most well known as the home of the New England Patriots (NFL), but the New England Revolution’s tenure of the stadium actually predates their American football cohorts by a few months. The Revolution were the first to play the stadium when it opened (partially) on May 11, 2002. It wasn’t until September that the Patriots played their first game. Previously, both teams played in the now demolished Foxboro Stadium, which stood just kitty corner of the new Gillette Stadium.
Gillette is one of the few MLS stadiums to have artificial turf instead of natural grass. The playing surface had been grass between 2002-2006, but it was replaced with FieldTurf after a heavy Patriots vs. New York Jets match. This turf was in turn updated in 2010 to FieldTurf Duraspine PRO, which was installed to meet FIFA international soccer standards.
I’ve got a nutty idea for the Revolution’s next mascot

The video quickly gained attention and started a wave of users attempting to replicate the trick. To perform the magic bomb trick, users typically start by holding an object, such as a pen or a small toy, between their fingers. They then perform a quick hand movement or dance move, usually accompanied by a sound effect or visual effect, which gives the illusion that the object has disappeared or exploded in a puff of smoke.

This might sound a little nutty but it’s time to replace Slyde as the New England Revolution’s mascot.
Slyde, a fox who calls Foxboro home, has patrolled the sidelines of Revs games since the team’s inception. He’s a charismatic character who has grown with the team, even going as far as getting a makeover in 2011. He’s been a loyal soldier along the way, but I fully support him being replaced by Nutsy the Squirrel.
Who is Nutsy? This snippet from The Athletic (you should subscribe, by the way) will tell you everything you need to know.
This was an incredible piece to put together for a lot of different reasons, but mostly for a story Larentowicz told about a former Rev who lived with a host family -- not actually a family, just one woman -- who had a pet squirrel named Nutsy. Nutsy! https://t.co/OgVU3fmjYY pic.twitter.com/eqBW7FaUtU

This story shouldn’t be forgotten. Plus, Nutsy would be the perfect reminder of how far we’ve come since MLS 1.0.
I know that Slyde has become a fan favorite (and he actually has a nice presence on social media) but we all need to get behind the idea of Nutsy become the Revolution’s biggest cheerleader. At the very least, we need a Nutsy appearance at the next mascot game.
This well thought out and very important article was inspired by our photographer J. Alexander Dolan. You should follow him on Twitter (@JADolan11).

Reviews for "The Influencer's Guide to the Magic Bomb Trend on Tiktok"
1. Emma - 1/5
I found the TikTok magic bomb trend to be nothing more than a waste of time and money. The videos made it look so cool and magical, but in reality, it was just a messy and underwhelming experience. The bombs didn't dissolve properly, leaving clumps of color in my bathtub, and the supposed "magical" effects were far from impressive. I ended up with stained skin and a bathtub that required hours of scrubbing to get clean. Overall, I would not recommend trying this trend as it was a complete disappointment.
2. John - 2/5
After seeing countless videos of the TikTok magic bomb trend, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience was less than magical. The bombs took forever to dissolve and even when they did, they left behind a weird residue that was difficult to clean up. The colors were also not as vibrant as they appeared in the videos, making the whole thing quite underwhelming. I was hoping for a fun and exciting bath, but instead, I was left with a mess to clean up. Save your time and money and skip this trend.
3. Sarah - 1/5
I was really excited to try out the TikTok magic bomb trend, but it turned out to be a total disaster. The bombs didn't dissolve properly and left behind a gritty residue in my bathwater. The colors were also quite dull and not at all like what was advertised. On top of that, the dyes stained my skin and required vigorous scrubbing to remove. Overall, this trend was a waste of money and definitely not worth the hype it received on TikTok. I do not recommend trying it.
