If there is one thing Brent does better than many others, it is to distill effects down to their essence. He has done it again with Incinerate. Construction is a piece of cake and well described, elements of presentation are pure and the effect on an audience is amazing in a flash reveal. Highly recommended for those working multiple location venues, i.e. table hopping and walk around because after the first time you do it, everyone else you "visit" will want to see it, but it is strong enough to be done multiple times to nearby audiences.

This is truly a remarkable effect the only draw back i have had with the book of matches magic is getting old of the book's of matches as since the no smoking bans have been introduced here in Australia no one as them on the bar our in the Hotels any moor so it makes it hard to get old of them you can get them at a price but because you can not send them by post they have to come by courier but on the hole the trick is very very good i only give it a 4 on account of the book of matches.

I love the tricks Brent has released thus far.

If you already have Incinerate or thinking about about making the purchase I highly suggest also getting "Torched and Restored".

Definitely purchase Incinerate now!!

Well taught, not difficult to do (but I will be practicing a few days before presenting). Really will be performing this one.

What a great job. Easy to do. Perfectly explained. Brent is a guarantee of good magic tricks!
Buy it!!!

Easy, fast, FUN, powerful, and went into my walk around instantly...just purchase it if you do anything with matches, or even if you don't, because it's that perfect!

This is a gem all around!

Wow! What a fantastic take on the classic 'Torn & Restored' concept Brent has here with, "Incinerate"! It seems impromptu to your spectators, but there is some setup involved. Don't worry...it isn't anything too complicated, though. Brent even gives some pointers on setting it up on the fly. Also included in addition tothe standard handling, is handling for matchbooks that may have different colors/designs on the inside than they do on the outside.
Overall, you really can't beat this. It's a breeze, (and fun), to perform; it amazes your spectators, (making you look like a sleight-of-hand master); AND your spectators get a souvenir of the performance. I am so glad Brent decided to share this wonderful, organic gem with the magic community. You just can't go wrong with this one. Wish I could give it more than five stars!

I love this. Very practical for walk-around, and SO easy to do (wonder why they didn't note that in the description), with zero sleights. The restoration looks really magical. Brent Braun scores again!

A very cool little trick! Brent explains everything very well, with a very organic prop! This is just as good if not better then his Torched and Restored! Keep up the great work!

Ok - I think in many ways this trick warrants the many 5 star reviews. Setup is minimal, handling is easy peasy, restoration looks amazing. A perfect effect in many ways. As a stand alone effect, it's pretty damn cool. A great trick, but probably not for the working professional, and for the following reasons:

There are some serious issues to consider if you're a working professional - both where you can do it, and the mess you create. Presumably you dress sharp - nice expensive suit, crisp white shirt, no playing cards on your tie, right?? And this trick makes a BIG mess. You drop ash everywhere, you make smoke (smoke/fire alarms anyone?!), so right from the start you're not going to be able to do this in many indoor venues. The host of a lavish party isn't going to want ash on her carpeted floors or white table cloths. Where I live smoking isn't allowed indoors anywhere, and lighting a matchbook on fire is going to quickly draw management's attention.

The other draw back is you end up with pretty dirty ashy hands, which isn't a good look as you approach the next group. "Great here comes a magician. God, his hands are filthy". (Sure you could carry some wipes, but pocket space is limited already, and it's just not a great look). And finally, (without too much exposure I hope) a ditch is needed and you're probably not going to want to ditch dirty ashy things in your expensive jacket's pocket next to other items you wish to keep clean.

So, a great trick in many ways... But not practical for those reasons. Good for a street performance or tv segment, not good for a corporate dinner event, in a room full of smoke alarms and posh people.
