Deviously Simple trick, a gimmick that you can use over and over (potentially many 100's of times if
you take care of it), and while I'm usually not a big fan of ashes effects - you can put some twists
onto this effect yourself to make it even better.
Even if you don't though, Phoenix Ashes
is fun, easy, and the reveal in flat out incredible. Larry Jennings once said "If you know 50
sleights but only one reveal, you only know one trick. But if you know just once sleight and 50
reveals, you know 50 different tricks." That comment applies with Phoenix Ashes. You reveal a
chosen card by burning half of it, leaving the spectator with the other half. You then use the ashes
from the burned half, rub it on your arm, and that half appears VERY clearly on your arm like a
tattoo made of ash! Arm can be felt before and after the ashes are spread! They will feel nothing
before and won't be able to rub it off after. Very, very Cool Effect! Would have given 5 stars if
it were slightly less expensive, but still worth it with what you get...oh, and you need something
they don't provide - something supremely inexpensive that I would hope EVERYONE has at home!
