WHAT? You expect the average jerk (a.k.a. magic buff) to control his/her self and not show off with something like this... to assume RESPONSIBILITY???

Surely you gest! (or are suffering from a rather serious delusion, when it comes to hope for the human animal when it comes to progression and maturation.)

Come on then, guys... LETS HAVE A REVIEW ! This has got me intrigued..

Craig - thats seems a bit hard, calling most of us magic buffs 'jerks'[/quote][/quote]

Sorry... but if and when the shoe (or top hat) fits...

Magician's in general hate the truth when it comes to their reputation in the world but the reality is, this is a craft composed primarily of men that refuse to grow up and as such, a strong childish (vs. "child-like") attitude proves common. This includes gross acts of disrepect to the craft itself but more importantly, towards our patrons... or have you ever wondered why a good 2/3rds of wester civilization moans when they hear that somone is a magician or why so many laypeople instantly associate the idea of "Magician" with "jerk" or, if they've been around a lot of "older" magicians (and are typically female) that perspectives comes to include lecherous, perversed, drunk and/or junkie (the entertainment industry standing in 3rd position as the field most dominated by chronic abusers i.e. alcoholics, drug addicts, pedofiles, woman (and man) beaters, etc... high end Sales & Marketing is #1 adn #2 tends to be the political lobbying system).

So yes, I'm hard, exceptionally crass but horridly honest as to how magician's are percieved in the world and love pointing this out because in time, if we are lucky, it means that persons like yourself, might start kicking all these jerks in the balls and telling them to straighten up and stop ruining our public image... that of course includes being a bit more responsible about things as well as repectful (and in turn, respectable of) how things are supposed to be (vs. our current era of self-will-gone-riot) The moral of the story is bi-fold; don't shoot the messenger but pay attention to the message, and too; Stop co-signing the attitudes and antics that have resulted in such public perceptions.

This effect is ace! Perfect for easily-spooked, slightly tipsy people at 2am at at a coldly lit bus stop... I think I've actually worked it out (if not, I've come up with an equally effective and simple version!) but for that price I may well buy it anyway to give Andrew Mayne his dues, plus there are usually well thought-out performance notes with these sorts of things.

Now available from Alazakam - for £11.99!

Ghostvision is selling FAST! (NOT SALES TALK!! NOT MY STYLE!)

It is really good, & a bargain for £12.99 post paid!

I also liked the Haunted Keys effect as well. Where one key RISES from a bunch, (this was a bonus effect on the Dvd) I was baffled by the effect, & also baffled as to how easy it was!!!!

Highly reccomended, GET yours now!

Is it just me or all the magic shop owners taking some cheap shots here?

I imagine the DVD is selling well.

I have noticed a LOT of retailers now have it in stock, like Alakazam, Magicshop and Emagictricks.

...enough said ...back to the effect.

I got mine yesterday and have given it the once over.

Sweeeeeet. Nicely made, great idea and pretty easy...BUT you will need to get comfortable with handling....let's be realistic here. I will attempt a proper review soon and perhaps this can move into the reviews section.

Now reviewed.

Yes i was joking

I've got mine (pays to live west of the Atlantic), and watched it. The video is short and to-the-point. The effect is incredibly easy, very clean, and looks astounding. You'll be able to perform it immediately. the learning curve is near-zero.

I made the mistake of testing it on my wife here at home, as I sometimes do after I've got a trick down. She's pretty bright, and not too much escapes her. If I can get a trick to impress her, I KNOW it'll work outside the home.

Well, the effect is pretty strong, let me assure you. Unfortunately, since I can't tell her how it's done, now she's afraid of the house. I think she might make me sell it. lol.

How is everyone getting one before I did?

I ordered it over a week ago and thanks to our nation's celebration of yet another mass murderer and territorial invader (a.k.a. Christopher Columbus) I still ain't seen it!'

ARRAGH!
