I didn't like this DVD very much. There were four effects that I liked and one of them didn't even
work for me(Stabbed). I will go through each of the effects for you.
Pencil through
Cheek-The best effect on the DVD. Check out the demo. It is non-gimmicked.
Bowling-This is
pretty good too. It's also in the demo. The bag isn't inspectable.
Pin Head-Nice. This is
very real-looking. You put a towel over your head and deflate it with a big pin.
Stabbed-You poke a paperclip in your arm. Great idea, but when I tried it, it didn't work.
Lit-Pretty dumb. You take a ciggarette and poke it in your ear and on your tongue.
Take-out -This isn't even a trick. He bends over in an alley and comes up with a rat in his
mouth. He swallows it. It is the worst effect on the DVD.
Spike through tongue part 1-Very
nice idea. Look at the demo.
Spike through tongue part 2-This is so easy to figure out. (That's
why it is not on the demo.) He pokes a spike through his tongue, rips it out, then eats his tongue.
Lunch for cthuhlu-It's okay. A person could figure out some, though. He eats a ciggarette,
a razor blade, some thumbtacks, and a candle that he lights before eating it.
Geek!!!-This
is easy to figure out and stupid. He bites the head off of a rubber chicken, leaving blood on his
face, then he blows the head back on.
Bed of thumbtacks-He lays on a bed of thumbtacks
without hurting himself. He doesn't teach you how to do this.
Bob Roach:Psychic
Entertainer- A fake roach tries to find a card that you picked on a board with numbers and suits. He
fails, and you squash him on the board. When you open it, the guts of the roach spell out the card.
I figured it out the first time I saw it, but it might work for you.
Brain Damage-He pokes
three umbrellas through a box on his head. Has a nice secret.
Overall,I think that Andrew
Mayne came up with a few good effects, then threw in some junky ones to complete the DVD. If I had
known all this about the DVD before, I wouldn't have bought it.
