Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf

This is a pretty solid effect, but the manuscript looks like it was rushed together at a pace not unlike a Bat Out of Hell (Thank you Meatloaf). The basic effect is that any card is freely named. Then upon showing the spectator that you have a full deck with various names written on the back of each card, you reveal that the freely named card has the spectator's name written on the back of it.

This is powerful and several handling techniques are discussed in the ebook. The effect is not entirely new. However, Kras does a good job of giving credit where credit is due as well as a relatively thorough history of various similar effects and sources of inspiration.

The reason I feel this was rushed to production is due to the high number of typos, spelling errors, grammar issues, punctuation mistakes and missing information. For example, Kras continually refers to "using the mnemonic" makes the routine easier, etc. However, he never teaches a mnemonic to use. That said, everything you need to do the effect is there and considering that you get multiple variations and the fact that it's only $5 bucks, it's not hard to over look some of the poor production problems. The method for this is pretty solid and very doable. A lot of points were taken away for the missing info and production errors. However, a lot of that lost ground was gained back due to the extremely reasonable price and the fact that after reading the entire manuscript you know what you need to do the effect. If you like the effect, I think you'll be happy with the method. For $5 bucks, it's worth the risk.

Final Verdict:
3.5 Stars with a Stone Status of gem (with a little g).
