Ever since Michael Close (well-credited by Manuel Llaser) published "Frog Prince", many magicians
have thought "how could I make a signed card turn into that frog?" It is no trivial matter. Kudos to
Llaser for turning this into a reality.
That's the "up side". The "down side" is that the
"structural misdirection" goes deep. You need to be committed to a Llaser/Tamariz "wild whimsy" kind
of performing, where many of the actions seem to derive from the playful whims of the performer.
If you are willing to go that route, more power to you! (you will have a miracle in your
repertoire) If you are a more thoughtful performer, you will need to develop this a lot more, and
may be unsuccessful.
Bottom line: this is a worthy investment if you are curious about the
potential of this entertaining plot. But while the $-price is right, the performance-price might be
too steep for many.
Good Thinking; Great Plot
