Review:
From the site -
A spectator selects a card from the deck and the magician displays a small polished aluminum box. He takes off the lid and removes a small piece of clear "photographic" paper, explaining that the paper is heat sensitive.
The paper is placed back inside the box and the spectator holds the box and his chosen card between his palms. After a few moments the spectator opens his hands and may remove the lid from the box himself. Inside, he finds the paper developed with an x-ray image of both of his hands and a picture of his selected card!
Firstly, i do really like this for its cheekiness, and open ended nature - by that, i mean that you can alter the "storyline" a little to suit yourself more...
The props - they are nicely made, though the word "paper" is not entirely correct, it's small sheets of plastic...like photocopiable acetate...
Once you open it up and discover the secret, you can come up with alternatives for the use of the "box" you get...well, i have anyways, so if i can...anyone can...
good value, i have only used it in the field once, but only on a friend who knows i collect oddities and curiosities (i keep them all in a nice little chinese wooden chest), so this makes a nice addition to the rest...
she was rather taken aback by it all, saying "oooh look - that's amazing, it's even picked up the detail in my thumbs!" when i showed her the x-ray photo...
all the goods are of decent quality, especially the box...and for the "other things" you get, well - you can easily make more of your own with a little thought...
a decent price, quick delivery (next day - always nice) and something i shall be using in the future...
Overall - 8 out of 10...a good little item, leeway for storylines, well made, fits in the pocket in fact...use yer noggin and find a use that suits you sir (or madam)
