Surprisingly, I have never seen a blister gimmick applied like this one. I own several blister
effects but have always hated the part where one of your hands has to disappear for a couple of
seconds while you get your blisters applied. You either have to mess around with something on your
belt loop or you have your hands in your pocket so deep it look's like your playing wit....well, you
know. Calen has come up with the perfect solution...just hide the gimmick in plain sight!...thank's
Mr. Morelli, you have just streamlined an already great effect...very creative....all blister fans
should check this one out!

This is the modern way to the blister magic without touching your pocket and take the props.
Well done Calen.

I debated giving this a three because I won’t ever use it, but knocking off two stars seemed like
too much for a preference issue. While it is certainly nice to have a full index for any card/number
named, the consequence of making this possible outweighs its benefits, for me. This consequence is
that you cannot get the blister with one squeeze like you can with the gimmicks that require a
force. Unless you get lucky and the selected elements are close together on the gimmick’s grid, you
have to do two separate presses to create the blister. This winds up creating one blister that is
more “healed” and one that is more clear. Getting your fingers into the correct placement is also a
bit cumbersome for a gimmick that is meant to be manipulated in the open. All together, I just
really do not like the handling necessitated by this method. I have some extremely fair forces that
I can draw from for use with the more limited gimmicks that live in your pocket. No one questions a
hand in your pocket these days anyway, especially if they don’t know what’s coming. Blistering by
James Anthony is my preferred gimmick for this effect cause it lives permanently on my keychain.
All that being said, even thought I won’t be using this gimmick, I absolutely WILL be using
the presentation idea that Caleb uses with a cell phone. It’s quite lovely and prevents me from
having to carry yet another thing around (a lighter) to preform the blister effect. Since quitting
smoking, I don’t really want to carry a lighter around all the time cause that tempts a bad habit
that was difficult to kick. So for the presentation idea, I am happy with this purchase even thought
I won’t ever use the gimmick.

I think this is by far the best blister magic effect out there. Because you have the option to force
or not to force when it involves cards. Some blister magic effects need forcing in order for the
trick to work and are very limited but this one here is amazing. When I dont have a phone or a
lighter I just tell the spectator that I have an invisible lighter or I use my body heat to create
blisters on my fingers for the revelation. The gimmick is well made and can last a long time with
proper care.

This is very easy to use and hides in plain sight. Wonderful alternative for the Blister effect.
Highly recommended
This trick is amazing! It’s a hard hitter and the gimmick is exeptional

This method is so sneaky. The reaction I got the very first time I performed this made it worth the
purchase.
