Well Lit by Christopher Congreave

Here's a quick "heads up" of Well Lit by Christopher Congreave is a superb card to impossible location effect.
I have been very lucky to have been one of the first to pick up one of these lighters from Chris.
They are a workers dream!
Can be done strolling or at tables, and the lighter is in FULL VIEW from the start of the effect.
It can even be held by the spectator during your "favorite" card routine before you hit them with the brain freezing climax!!
Can be done in short sleeves, no jacket required so perfect for the street / casual performers too.
I think that what sets this above so many other "card to....." effects is that it's an every day object that fits into your pocket easily and there are no magnets, treads, elastic or moving parts that will need to be replaced....ever!
It can be customized to take any style of playing card, business card, even any currency note - all signed by the spectator!!
It looks so impossible because of the small size object that the card has been found in, and when they unfold the card and see it has their signature on it just hits them so so hard!
I know Chris has some of these already ready to go, complete with clearly written instructions to start you off. Everything is covered in great detail giving you all you need to start performing this great effect.
He is selling them at his lectures, but you can also pick one up direct from him at: http://www.christophercongreave.co.uk/shop.htm
There is a clip showing a basic performance there too, just so you can see outline of the effect.
Another clip, with a slightly closer view of the lighter can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0MVGZCO ... ideo_title
I'm sure these will be selling like hot cakes!
At last, a justified card to impossible location that you can carry on you, ready to go anytime, anywhere!!
Excellent effort Chris!!!!
Enjoy......
Matt

No they can't, Chris showed me this the other day. It really is well made.

Hello, all.

Did this turn into "The Light"? If so, I've just ordered it.

Did a search for 'congreave light' but nothing came up. Is there a proper review somewhere?

Thanks!

Thanks, Lee.

Anyone know if there's a review on here? If not, I might write one once I've played with it a tad.
