Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Lights By Journey
Well . . . this is awkward. I really loved Etienne Pradier's book Le Magie des Cartes. In fact I gave it a 3.5 star rating and a gem status. However, this one is complete rubble in my mind. Here's the entire ad copy:
A Playing Card Mystery
Effect:
A single playing card held at the fingertips visually melts away into nothing.
That's it . . . and you'll notice that there is no online demo. Any guesses why? Because you'd quickly discover that the ad copy is a crock, and you would easily detect the method. For $15.00 you get a 'gimmick' which is basically a sticker that you have to add to the rest of the gimmick that you have to create. You get a little mini-booklet with just a few paragraphs of very hard-to-follow instructions and some images that make no sense along with some half-baked 'alternate ideas' that make no sense, and finally, one could even say that this trick is racist since you have to be white to perform it . . . yep . . . you really do have to be white if you're going to use the method they supply.
The only thing that is a Total Vanish is the $15.00 bucks it costs to buy this. You'll give up your cash and have nothing to show for it . . . a total vanish.
Move on folks. Nothing to see here.
Final Verdict:
Zero Stars with a Stone Status of Pure Rubble.
