THE EFFECTS 4/4 Each of these effects has something creepy, Mysterious, And magical about it. He does things with lighters, cards, dollar bills, coke cans, iphones, notpads, pens, tattoos etc. There are at least 4 versions on this DVD that I will use. If you are going to school, doing walkaround, or just entertaining some friends, This is the perfect icebreaker. Imagine asking a girl out or making some valentines poem or something appear on your arm. The possibilities are ENDLESS. You can also make borrowed objects melt onto your skin such as candy wrappers, sugar packets, water bottle labels and he even tells you how to make your client's business card appear on your skin! wut the eff!

THE GIMMICKS 3/4 I would give these a 4/4 if they lasted forever. They take about 2 minutes to make the entire set of gimmicks and be on your way to doing amazing effects. It will cost you about 2-4 dollars depending on what you already have. Magician's will most likely have most of the stuff lying around or at least a yard away from you right now. But it does use something a bit out of the ordinary so that might cost you a trip to walmart and 2 bucks. But these could last you 5 performances a night for a week depending on the version you do or how you store them.

THE DVD 4/4This DVD is definately a keeper (not like I will ever get rid of it ) Running at nearly an hour in length, Andrew takes you slowly step by step at how to do each one of these effects to your FULL ADVANTAGE. Nothing is left out and you will never be left with half ideas. You get nothing more or less than a 55 minute DVD. Nothing else to buy or replace. I really liked the menus and graphics of this DVD (of course, he spends all his time for me to like the cover art ) PLUS!!! Andrew included a PDF file on the DVD so you don't have to go through the trouble of making each individual gimmick and you can just use what is on the PDF to guide you.

PERFORMANCES AND INSTRUCTION 4/4 I was on the borderline of giving this a 3/4 but it wouldnt be very fair. Andrew first performs every effect briefly like it should be done with all the misdirection and on-camera movements so you get the full impact of each effect and you can really look for the secret movements so nothing is left out. Then each explanation is about 10 minutes long. Like I said above, Andrew is a fantastic teacher, An enthusiastic performer, and a creepy showman which makes most of what he does unique and creative.


OVERALL 4/4This DVD deserves a good review. You can tell a lot of hard work was put into this whole production. But you can't just stop at what is on the DVD. You can use other props in conjunction to the ghost ink gimmicks. Cards, Coins, Newspaper, Pens etc. With a little bit of creative thinking and performance skill, You can make your audience jump through the roof. Thanks Andrew!
