Disintigration by Spidey and PL Bergeron

The Effect:
The Ashes on Arm has always been one of the best tricks that a magician can do to an audience, but for as long as the trick has existed the revelation has always been on the magicians own arm.

Disintigration allows you to walk up to a crowd of people you have never met, alone with no set up and have their thoughts appear on their own arm. This DVD is a detailed explanation of the devious method behind disintigration as well as a list of alternate handlings and variations. The
explanations include a discussion of the various substances that can be used instead of the ashes (like table pepper for those magicians who do table magic). The DVD also includes modifications of the original handling to suit your personal style as well as variations to be able to do the trick
under different settings or different working conditions.

You will learn how to have a spectator think of someone's initials, a playing card, a number, a symbol etc... And have that thought revealed on their own arm, and the best part is Disintigration uses:

* NO STOOGES - TRUE
* NO SET UP - Not completely True
* NO DIFFICULT SLEIGHT OF HAND - Depends
* NO GIMMICK - False,you do need pepper or ashes :D

Review:
This was my first purchase of an ashes to arm effect,and to tell the truth I did'nt like the ashes to arm type effects cause it had been exposed a long time ago on the show (SECRETS OF STREET MAGIC FINALLY REVEALED).
BUt when I saw the preview of Disintigration where a smudge of pepper changes to there card just by shaking there hand well then it had to be bought.

I'm breaking the review into points:

1]The DVD:
The dvd it's self is brief and well it teaches you how to do the effect and the rest you should know by now.By the rest I maen what kinds of effects you can perform.

2]Difficulty:
Well it's really easy to make the thought appear on the arm of the spec but finding out the thought will depend which type of ash-arm are you performing But since you are paying for "Disintigration" with which you can make the spec's card,initials appear on their arm thus the diffculty is easy and can be merformed un-noticed.

3]Variations on the type of ash:
The following can be used
A]Ashes - A little hard to get :(
B]Pepper - Works best :twisted:
C]Salt - Won't work that well on a lighter skin tone
E]Sand - If you are at the beach :wink:
F]And the best thing is you can come up with more things to use yourself.

4]Variations on Effects:
This will depend on the magician and what effect you want to perform and you can also make up your own routines.

Overall:
Ok The overall on this effect is Yes it does work (and mighty fine at that) :D.Will it work for you, well it should cause it's that easy even a 6Yr old should be able to do it.So if you like ashes to arm and want to get one get this on it's the only one which is magical :D

I would like if some one makes a dvd which teaches you many different way to use the ashs to arm effect.

Product rating:
This get a whopping 10/10 :D,because I can't find any flaws.

Final words:
Well Finally if you like Ashs to Arm then buy it cause its an awesome effect and thank you for taking your time to read this.

Sounds alright, though walking around smearing peoples arms with ashes seems a bit too intrusive even for Blaine-esque harassm.. I mean street magic.

Is this any good for putting words on their arm? ie. no ashes, but just a word they see later on?
