Magic Tricks

Ok, if you read my post in Digital Conviction then you know I was waiting for this to arrive. In reality nothing comes with the DVD so they should have just made it a Digital Download to begin with.
There are THREE methods of Stigmata taught here. I really appreciate the fact that Robert went all out on this. There's one method for Bleeding Tears and one method for Pulse Stopper.
Starting with Pulse Stopper. I do not condone this method. There's a safer method by Wayne Houchin and, if you've read any magic book in creation, all Illusionists warn that the method taught here "could" cause medical issues.
Enough said on that.
Bleeding Tears... BRAVO! Great job on everything! This effect is worth half the DVD price alone.
Stigmata... the three methods taught are actually two methods with a prep. I'm not proud to say this, but I'm 38 years old (I know, oldness... ugh), never once has anyone ever told me to "cause harm" to my body to perform... until now. Enough said on that without giving away the method.
Again, I appreciate Robert's ability to create and bring us awesome stuff, but unfortunately I can't say I liked it (there's only two choices for rating, please make a "MEH" rating in that drop down). The moment bodily harm comes into play it's a "No Go". There are so many "possible" repurcussions to this DVD that even the warnings aren't enough. I'm at a stand still.
UNIVERSAL IMPRESSION 5 STARS

Safety first, an illusionist shouldn't chance health over effect. There's so many diseases and such out there that one mistake could cause a long (well, short term dependent on what you may catch) term issue that could effectively end it all. Just because the Amazing Jonathan eats Razorblades on stage doesn't mean he's REALLY eatting them... a trick is a trick and a lesson... well, a bad lesson may turn fatal.
