I am assuming this is the same method that Garcia used in his lecture notes called "No Smoking"

If it is the same method I really don't think this is safe to be doing on a regular basis or at all for that matter.

Save yourself $15 and go for "Next" (his lecture notes). Its explained in there, along with 5 other effects, for only $15, available at lybrary.

But I suppose its the patter and all of that that comes on the DVD that helps you perfrom the effect.

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't the patter and presentation be YOURS? I personally feel it's way too easy to copy style and presentation from a DVD, even unintentionally.

Besides as I stated earlier, I highly doubt that it is safe anyway.

I say, take Binary's advice if you are interested.

It IS safe. You need to actually know the main methods and effects that can be used with this idea. Of course patter and presentation are meant to be cusotmised to your style but everybody needs guidelines.

It is in his lecture notes, I just checked.. although I have a feeling that in Warning, the setup is done inside the mouth.. which makes it that little more dangerous.. but I could be wrong.. the method is simple though.. as most effects are

As i have said in my review, and is said on the Download, it is only dangerous if you perform the effect aboout 400 times a day, EVERYDAY! And that has also been confirmed by a doctor.

I was born with Multiple Personality Disorder. Luckily, they are all me, they just dont always get along...

It says on the ellusionist site that nothing is placed in the mouth at all.

Sorry to knock this thread off topic, but I was talking to Seige about this and when he mentioned that the first image that popped into my head was Brad having a chat with Dr Nick from the Simpsons =/

Hhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Doctor Nick!

Right... let's get a couple of things straight... (I've now watched the DVD!)

I personally won't be performing this effect, I'm not even going to try it. Primarily because I'm not happy with the method at all, even after all the 'Doctors' approval' stuff.

Quite frankly, I believe the 'E' guys have gone the extra mile to ensure that it's safe. But I'm just a little bit wary about the method itself.

And as far as 'impromptu' goes, this surely isn't impromptu at all. I think you'd need the misdirection of someone airlifting the Sphinx and dropping it behind you to get away with the 'prep'.

Sadly, I think this is just another effect for the carefree 'Trick-Generation' out there.

:? Sounds like this effect is JUST the same as 'No Smoking' from his lecture notes.. as that is pretty much what I thought of that effect

Yet another churned out old effect that could have been sold for $2.99 as a download!!

I'll probably buy it so I can do an "invisible cigarette" routine with Warning, a red D'Lite (that glow at the end of a cig, natch), and have a nice link between vanishing cigarette and 3rd degree burn (when I get around to buying that, too...;))

Just posting to say that Warning has been apparently discontinued

Here is a link to E forums:
http://www.elusionist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59630

And the product page:
http://www.ellusionist.com/order/Warnin ... ia_DVD.php

If above links don't work just try finding it yourself on the E site somewhere...

I have not downloaded yet but...

Is the production part small enough to fit behind a coin?

An old british penny or smaller?

This would be great if it could be.
