Yeah, well only by £2.95. But it comes with a DVD, which it never used to.

I think however it only comes with the dvd if you get this from JB magic.

I got mine from a different supplier and there was no dvd even though it was the same price.
The trick itself is quite straight forward though and therefore a dvd is not essential although I would quite like to have had it.

Firstly may I say what a great little effect it is, basically all it needs is the confidence to present it. Very cunning and excellent magic.

My copy came from another dealer and came complete with DVD all in its correct JB packaging etc. There are points arising that readers may care to discuss without revealing the method.

My first query is a technical one that users can comment on. I have problems in replacing the tagged indifferant card back into the pack where, what should happen, doesn't or wont.

The second is that whilst most people will have not have to replace the 'necessary' often, I will right away because I don't use bics in my work. No problem at all but how do users who have remade the item get the 'half moon'? This is not even mentioned in the instructions. Comment?

The third comment is that to remake as instructed one will have to obtain the required substance. Luckily it's something I use regularly so no problem but for others a costly investment. Comment!

Interestingly my DVD will not play on my two upmarket DVD players but only on a colleagues cheapie model. However I know this is a common problem with DVDs.

If this is difficult to discuss without revealing all, then a PM will be fine.
Regards.

Mark you almost took the words from my mouth. Aside from putting the indifferent card back into the pack (I came up with a solution to that), I second the other questions of yours. If someone could post a vague response that'd be great, but a PM would most likely be necessary. Thanks a lot.

If you buy this with the DVD then all is explained about comment 2.

It isn't difficult to use a coin and a modelling knife for a half moon and the sticky stuff, it's a good investment anyway!

Making replacements is a real sinch!
