This piece is nice but the exact type of device he uses is not discussed. The type he used is hard
to find and the one I got doesn't work. This is a nice video otherwise.

The effect feels too gimmicky to me. Angles are a bit sensitive.

It's a cute trick and well put together.
I like the idea of not having to find special material
to make this work.
Although it is not angle proof by any means, for the price, the illusion is
worth it and it will lead you to other ideas for other illusions using the same concept.

The price worthes to buy it. The idea is good. That trick is good to show to one or 2 persons. What
I don't like is that you can't speak during that (the secret doesn't allow you to), and it is not
angle proof at all ! Even on stage, you can't do it. But for a promo video or to amaze someone
during a skype call, that is a good trick ;)

I got this in the Cool Box -- worth the discount price, not sure if it's worth full price. It's a
good effect, for only a couple/few people at a time, because it's also a bit angle sensitive. I'm
not sure I'll use this much, only because of the angles, but if I'm in the right place at the right
time, I would definitely use it.

This trick is nice......but risky. I would do this effect on the spot...and without talking! This
would also be a great trick for a party! The idea of the gimmick could be used with more than just a
balloon too! I love it!

I like this illusion for several reasons. First of all, the balloon can be offered to the audience
for full examination. Secondly, this trick is transportable with ease. Thirdly, this effect is
primarily designed for close-up and parlor use (frontal view only), but can be adapted for stage.
Fourth reason is that the trick is inexpensive to perform. My fifth reason is that the routine can
be easily and quickly reset. (This is one routine I would even risk doing a second time to select
audiences.) The only reason I give Halo a 4 star rating is because when used as prescribed, you do
have to be careful of spectators viewing from side angles. It is possible, however, to adapt this
illusion for specific needs, which is one reason I like it so well. Lastly, I like it because the
closing, by popping the balloon, offers a very clean ending which makes this routine an excellent
final act. A simple, yet, puzzling illusion for all ages, especially for birthday and New Year's
parties. I'm very glad I acquired this routine and I think any other magician will be, too.

I have never seen such support (presentation ideas, suggestions) surrounding an illusion at this
price!
The young inventor of the illusion is fun to watch and, from his heart, does his
best to explain all that anyone needs to know to perform Halo.
He thoroughly covers
everything and does so in logical sequence and at an easy to follow pace.
Accomplishing the
illusion uses a method a bit different than anything I've seen before. The method is creative, and
was even improved by a Magic Cafe magician: "Zombie" who gave a great "tweak" to an already clever
method.
The "Zombie" suggestion and other great ideas are being included or made available
with the original Halo concept.
I learned from HALO and am very glad I have the download.
