Heheheheheheh

I can't believe how popular 3rd Degree Burn is.

Since I put it onsale in the shop, it's been flying out the door. One thing I can safely say is that Mr Palter should be rather proud of himself ;)

This trick looks very interesting.

Just a few questions, do you actually get a blister and does it hurt?

From what i have seen it is safe and you can do it without fire. Of course there is no real blister (they would not sell it!)

Hurts like hell, and you need to visit the hospital to get the burn treated after every performance :twisted:

Seige:

Thank you so much for the compliments; yes, I am very proud of this effect (and my other one, Divine Time as well). I'm so pleased that it is selling well at your shop, and that it has be receiving such positive reviews.

You can view information and performance videos for both tricks on our web site, and you can also purchase both there as well.

Thank you again for the compliments and thoughts, and thank you for your time.

Best regards,

I would like to add a few 'notelets' about this after a fantastic impromtu (yes, totally unprepared) performance at a barbecue this Saturday gone...

I've started carrying my TDB around with me. Why? Because it's compact, fast and effective. What's more, once you've learned it and have the 'basics' down (which are SO simple, and yet perfect), you can literally get a performance out of this device without even thinking twice.

So, back to the barbecue...

Sat there drinking Sol and eating a chicken leg, a mate asked if I'd brought my cards. Which, on this occasion (gasp) I hadn't. However, I WAS set up for TDB.

After a few minutes, I proclaimed "I haven't got my cards, but I can do a card trick with you!" (inspired, I know).

The rest went like this:
1. Got a mate to think (merely think) of a playing card.
2. I rolled up and palmed a napkin
3. I asked him to write the name of the card on a napkin, and roll it into a ball so I couldn't see it.
4. I took the balled-up napkin and tossed it into the barbecue (actually, I did a false transfer and tossed out the blank one I had palmed).
5. In a very dodgy attempt to get a glimpse at the written card, I used my mate's napkin to wipe my face! Glimpse was easy.
6. I took about 20 seconds to sort out the TDB 'blisters'
7. I reached in the barbecue and picked up a tad of ash from the napkin.
8. Yelping, I showed my fingers to be blistered with the prediction

OK... now, let's set some things straight...

1. I do NOT recommend you put your hands into a barbecue. To be honest, it bloody hurt.

2. This effect was TOTALLY impromptu, and I thought it up as I went along

3. The gross misuse of palmings and glimpses (heheheheh) was so obvious to a magician, but there were only laypeople around, so I got away with it.

OK, so this absolutely FLAWED 3 people—2 mates and my older brother.

This, to me, just shows the strength and versatility of the TDB system. A fantastic and flexible addition to any close up performers toolbox, surely?

Just got mine today - I wasn't intending to purchase this but when I saw the gimmick and how it worked I just gave in to CUPS without any hesitation whatsoever.

My dealer knew that I wouldn't resist this - it's that good.

I have to say that I'm impressed so far and I've only had it for a few hours. I can only imagine how much better it's going to become with a couple of performances under my belt!

So are they flawed now?

:twisted:

I really don't want to spend more but I may have to, this does sound brilliant.

I already think that this will become a classic. Simply stunning!!!

Hopefully the price will put many of the less experienced people off buying it otherwise there will be lots of people getting hold of this who will simply ruin the effect through poor performances.

It's a long time since I've looked forward to performing a trick for the first time, as much I'm looking forward to performing this.

For the CREATIVE magician there are just endless possibilities with this effect!
