I got this excellent and VERY well made gimmick the other day, did try it out several times - The plot is super clean and easy, as well as it is perfected, but... as my skin often tends to get very, very dry (due to the Scandinavian cold and rough climate over here) it kind of bothers me that it's very hard to get the revelation onto a spectator's hand properly. The gimmicked *** wears off quickly here in Sweden. This effect may work way better in a more humid and moist environment, but if you do have dry skin, it is not at all as effective as it would be in a warmer and naturally humid environment. So unfortunately, this trick will get only 3 out of 5 stars. For me. Sorry...

Epic Fail! Dries out very quickly in the SC coastal heat and humidity. After 5 minutes, it did not even show up on my hands. Cool idea, poor product.

I have tried this a half dozen times, but it does not work for me. Apparently it works for many other people, but I cannot get the stuff to transfer from my hand to someone else even if I do it immediately after marking my own hand. After writing on my own skin or a card I can get salt, pepper or ash to stick to it, but no transfer has worked yet.

I love the idea of this, though I am having the same problem as another reviewer- I cannot seem to make the ink transfer from my hand to the spectator- I’ve tried different positions on my palm and finger, and I’ve tried pressing very hard.

Would someone having success *please* give me some pointers? The DVD only suggests playing around with it...

I have only experimented with this gimmick for a short while but the results have been very good. Finally a convenient way to do ANY type of reveal on another persons skin. The method of marking people works extremely well. One of the best attributes is the ability to mark yourself and then sometime later do the transfer. The card routine taught with the gimmick is a good one but barely scratches the surface of what a creative mind can do with this tool. You will need to experiment with various products that can cause the reveal e.g. salt, sugar, pepper, ashes etc. to see the different effects each one make but it is worth the kitchen experiment. Sugar is my current favorite.
Caution: Some people react strongly to symbols appearing on their body. Think about that before you inadvertently tag someone with an upside down cross and use ashes for the reveal....but, a right side up cross revealed with white sugar imparts a completely different feeling. See what I mean. I look forward to reading the discussion board for creative uses of this product.
Great job Bro's.

Now i know 'Bare'. its freaking people out and it gets great reactions. A must have. It's better than double cross because you can revael anything with it. Great trick!

This is the old Ash trick, taken to the Nest Level
Always a crowd pleaser

This trick is so cool. The reveal works very nice, and if done correctly confuses the spectator. When I first learned bare, I did the trick on my wife and father. Both were amazed by this. Even a little freaked out. haha.

Cool idea!!! Works great

Absolutely love it! Will definitely be using this multiple times a day! If you don't have your hands on one of these, you have to get one! I will never, ever be without one! You will not be disappointed !
