I enjoy some of Jermay's one-off effects, but in book form, I'm just left shaking my head. And
misleading ad copy such as "a plucked rose visibly wilts and dies" doesn't help. No, the rose does
NOT visibly wilt and die. To purport that it does is a gross misrepresentation of what the effect
actually is.
This effect, like many of the others in this book, are predicated on the power
of suggestion. Other effects employ the use of dual reality. Some won't mind this, but others will
hate it. Another effect relies on the spectators not noticing you are using double-faced cards,
despite the fact that during performance, both sides of the cards are completely exposed.
There may be a few good, usable ideas in here, merely due to the legnth of the book. But trying
to find them will be an arduous task.
