I'm so pleased I purchased this. For $15 (or £9.50 to me) I feel I've been given a complete bargain!

Whilst I am yet to practice this to the second-nature standard where I am willing to add this to my routine, I had the moves down within around 15 minutes. The book is well written, well illustrated and simply was a sheer joy.

Every move seems justified, the clean-up is completely taken care of. The final SNAP restore is a joy and simple to perform.

The reset is simply adding one extra card to your pack, which is prepared ahead of time. (with practice I'd say would take only around 20 seconds of time.)

Thank you so much for this effect, and for a great book. I have very bad memories of trying to read, look at pictures and twist my fingers into all sorts of vague sleight-of-hand-ish grips when it comes to books..But this went against all that, it was very simple to learn and I cannot wait to add this to my routines.

If you are a Magician who is not in a position to use fire (Children's entertainer, probably restaurants etc) a nice gag is also included in it's place, but both are optional.

There is also a nice read on the thinking behind it all, on why you may do X or not do Y depending on who you're performing for, and the psychological reasons why. (all to make the effect stronger)

Overall, 5 stars, this really exceeded my expectations.
