I will keep this real simple--- buy it. Watch the video if you can figure out whats going on then
congrats but Rick goes into some real good detail on what to do and how to do that will help you
perform this correctly. You will need to buy 16oz cups to perform the routine showed the reason I
mention this is because the size is not mentioned in the video. Im very pleased with this effect.

Audience of about 200 had a fantastic reaction to this last night. Loved performing it and this is
something I will use a lot. Simple and direct making it perfect to focus all attention on
presentation. Thanks Rick!

Let's face it, if you are considering buying Water & Ice, you already know that this takes some
preparation and needs the right setting to be perceived as a real miracle. However, the preparation
really isn't terrible when you consider the pain to gain ratio - this really can look like a
miracle, and what's better - it's easy as pie to perform and essentially angle proof!
This
routine gives you three equally impressive moments of magic using items that can be inspected,
tasted, and held. It solves many serious issues about how to hide the required gimmick, and how to
put it into play for maximum effect - reasons why I had given up using it before.
The final
verdict: If you are willing to put in the minimal effort and set the stage, you have a miracle on
your hands with this! Well done Rick!

I loved it from the first moment that Rick has showed it to me. Everytime Rick come up with a new
magic it always feels like something we have never seen before. This is not your ordinary magic
effect. I love the whole routine and especially the ending. It has the same climax feel as the
multiplying sponge balls. If you look for something fresh and new, Water and Ice would do the trick.
Quite frankly I think it's priced too low...

Rick Lax has done it AGAIN!!!! I've been waiting for this ever since he hinted it in a previous
download and it's even better than I expected. You basically start off clean and end clean there's
nothing better. If I was you I would ADD TO CART NOW!!!!!

I bought this and refill pack immediately! Genius. Magic that is not done with any props or cards or
coins just, well to all the spectator cares, ice and water, and a cup.
Just steer them down
the rabbit hole one way and then WHACK! hit them with a (pun intended) COOL magical moment at then
end! What a neat trick that everybody can understand. Organic at it's best. :)
Can't wait
to perform this at a friend's BBQ on a hot day! :)

Anticipate to spend about $3 every time you perform this trick but it's definitely worth it if you
like parlor tricks, I would not do this in walkaround but the results will absolutely drop your
audience, especially when the ice starts to levitate, thank you Rick Lax as this self-contained
trick is guaranteed to shock and amaze, so easy prep... you will do well with this trick if you like
to freak people out, the first time I did this it was in a restaurant and the other booths had to
stand up just to watch the finish, the fail-safe results are exactly like in the video...

Rick Lax is spot on with this effect. It's fun, it's different, and audiences will remember it (and
you). It performs just as Rick presents it in the promo. Easy set up, no sleight of hand or
switches. I only gave it a 4 because it is a bit messy to perform. But hey, that's half the fun and
a big part of the experience for the audience, right? It will be interesting to see how my corporate
audiences will react to this. They're all big kids at heart, so I'm optimistic! Worth picking up,
especially since it includes the shipped "special something" along with the instant download video.
As always, nice job, Rick!

I love this trick. Very excited to work with it this summer. I think it's deceptive and creative.
Great fun!

I should start by saying I am a Big Fan of Rick Lax, he is a smart guy. This effect is exactly what
you see in the video. I do Kids parties and got really excited when I seen this .....I have slowed
down as I got older and normally
only do ONE show a day on the weekends ( no multiple shows).
PROS - Very clear explanation and Instructions.
CONS - Its a MESS , you need REFILLS and you
need to travel with Ice.
When I was practicing this effect it was only something I could do on
my OUTSIDE DECK, I washed it off and missed a little and it stained my deck. I have mixed emotions
about this trick .....I DO LIKE IT. I JUST DONT THINK IT IS PRACTICAL FOR ME. I was even toying with
idea of building a large tray. I thought about this for a while and also figured I would need a
place to dispose of this stuff. I just don't feel comfortable letting people ( kids) touch this
stuff ....it may be safe but what if they put it in there mouth or get it in their eyes. I don't
feel comfortable dumping the stuff onto one of my high end clients Sod lawn or landscaped garden.
You must bring a bag. This could be great in Southern USA where its HOT all the time. I live in the
North East where we get Snow in feet 7 months out of the year. I am afraid if I performed this
during the winter up hear when we have 9 feet of snow on the ground Ill get the Sh-t kicked out of
me.
If your performing in a Hot area of the country and they don't get snow add a star. If your
performing in a location where you don't care about the venue ( state fair ?)and you get it on the
ground/floor its ok. I just remember the 2 times I performed SNOW STORM IN CHINA in Govenors Comedy
Club,the owner looked at me and scowled as he YELLED ..JULIAN WHOS CLEANING THIS SH-T UP !!
