Hello all:

First, let me say thank you so much for the continued compliments and positive reviews on Third Degree Burn. And of course thank you also for your business!

Secondly, YES as many of you know the “Bonus Booklet” for the trick is now done! Starting last week, all copies of the trick leaving our factory were being packaged with this bonus idea booklet at no additional charge. But fear not current owners! We have an e-Book (.pdf format) of this available to you for absolutely free! All you have to do is come to the “Third Degree Burn” page on our site, scroll down to the “Click Here For Bonus Effects Booklet” button, and fill out the form after clicking the button----we’ll then send it off to you via email. There are 24 ideas, enhancements, and thoughts provided by you our customers; thank you to all of you that contributed!

Anyhow, if anyone has any other questions or thoughts, please just let me know. Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Jason Palter

Jason Palter,

Just want to say a note personally .. THANK YOU!!

This has got to be the most used prop I own.. Every performance includes this and I just keep getting that look that one girl in the demo video gave.. complete confusion..

I was stunned how easy and quick it was to get used to and use..

Brilliant product..

This arrived yesterday, and is already likely to be the cause of failing my exams (well, ok, not the only cause....)

It just rocks. Solidly made; sometimes you splash £20 on an item only to think "I could have made that myself for £2" - there is not one doubt that you get every penny's worth with this. And as you use it, you realise more and more how well designed it is, and how much thought must have gone into it. It's a pleasure to handle!

Well done Jason, this is really one of the best and best value effects I have come across, one of those that now I have it, I really wish it suddenly became a lot more expensive...! :twisted:

Hi, I'm thinking of buying this and just have a question. Can the "blisters" be touched/examined. If the answer classes as exposure then just don't answer, but i'd like to know if I can let my friends touch the blisters.

yes they can, but they will most likely be to freaked out to want to. Ive had bouncers run away down the street when they see the blisters!!

I found a great way of using this which has had people blown away/scared/thinking I am some kind of demon!!
I start off with a 'little card trick' - Mini card appearing in/from Flash paper for a first selection. When people ask me if I can do it again I grab another piece of flash paper and do the old 3rd degree burn trick stating what happens when you hold flash paper for too long!!

I even had someone trying to set fire to the mini card to see if they could get it to work!!

Another bonus is that the centerpiece of the gimmick is magnetic and can therefore allow pockets to be searched - if you get me!!

I've had pyro perception for a while and love performing it but I'm getting really ansy about picking this up ...I just hope the gimmick isn't as awkward and hard to use as pyro perception. Can any vouch for that?

It's all relative isn't it?

Considering that there are 52 possible outcomes and that potential has to be catered for SOMEHOW within a gimmick...it's pretty darned good!

It'll take practice and familiarity but what doesn't benefit from that?

Hello all:

Magic_drummer, thank you for your comments on my Third Degree Burn. I just wanted to let you know that about 10-15 minutes is what you need to learn the "system", and every time you do it after that you'll just become faster and faster and more used to it. Keep working with it, and you'll find that it just becomes second nature (almost like doing the ID). I know that if you put in a little time to practice and learn it, that you will be well rewarded by the reactions and squeals of glee from the spectators whenever you perform Third Degree Burn! lol Just email me if you have any other questions.

Once again, for those of you who currently own Third Degree Burn but purchased it before the bonus booklet was enclosed, fear not you can still receive one in .pdf format for free! Just visit the "Third Degree Burn" page on our website for details.

Believe it or not, people are still writing us with ideas and enhancements, so there might even be another free bonus booklet available in the future. If you have an idea you would like included if we do this publication, or if you simply want to make sure that you are emailed one when and if it becomes available, again just visit the "Third Degree Burn" page on our site for details.

If anyone would like ordering info or if you have any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and business!

Best regards,

Jason Palter
