I got this routine to use as an opener to a close-up show. I had never owned the original torch to
rose, so i cannot really compare it to that one, however, the additional touch added to this effect
is a very smart idea and works well. With a bit of handling practise, this effect is very startling.
However, i found that the quality of the torch to rose i got was not the best by any means, so i am
having to buy another one :\ The wick came off the end of the stick, as a result of no more than ten
times running through the effect, and the spring which is used lost its springyness and made the
transformation a bit slower.
Overall, despite the quality, the effect is well thought out
and is effective.
