hi guys, anything on killer red caps. did a search but failed to find anything

It's one of those effects that is only supported by those there are no bad effects only bad perfomers magicians. They say things like, this effect has to be presented really well or it's really obvious what you're doing. This basically means that the 'secret' is so blatant that you're going to need work extra hard convincing your spectators that you're doing something special. Surely the point of buying special props is that they make performing the effect easier. If you're going to put in that much work you may as well use regular bottle caps and one of many simple methods.

cheers for that i shall stick with the simple method i know. thanks for saving me money.

I can't find anything at the moment but I'm sure we had some discussions on Killer Red Caps ages ago. The conclusion was about the same as reached above !

The method is described in detail in "Feature Magic for Mentalists" by Will Dexter (Supreme, 1974). Magic Books by Post have it at £15.
