Magic Tricks

This DVD has 3 effects on it that in my opinion are bad! The first effect Chapped is not very well thought out for one main reason, you could never carry the chapstick in jean pockets, it has to be carried in a lose pair of sweats or a lose coat pocket, can't tell you why, but trust me. Also, it doesn't end very clean. Shades blew me away when I watched the promo because let's face it, ink moving tricks are great. My biggest complaint about this trick is the set up. Without giving away the method, it is noticable to the human eye and executing the final phase is not real smooth. When explained on the DVD it is noticable how awkward it can be to complete, and then it doesn't end clean, so you are left with the gimmick. The third effect watermark is probably the best effect on the DVD. Although it doesn't end clean and the initial set up is kind of a pain the effect is decent. The one major problem is the ending. The watermark is there when you have the bill, but when you hand it back it is gone and in my mind the spectator will say where did it go. Everything happens in your hands leaving the feel of real magic out.
