I know a guy who bought Hot Leads, thought it was brilliat, then after he used it a few times he realised that the business card he was giving out would spend a week or so in the recipients wallet and smell. Smell real bad. No-one really wants a business card that smells of burnt lighter fluid, so he no longer uses it. Sure, it's an individual way of getting your name out there, but I know I wouldn't want my leather Coutts & Co wallet (and all clothing I put it in thereafter) to stink.
In A Flash by Jay Sankey is definitely worth buying. A brilliant trick that knocks them over - but be sure to follow it up immediately - it doesn't take long for a spec to figure out the gaff involved. He may not work out the entire method, but the gaff, afterwards, IMHO is normally sussed through sheer common sense. I wouldn't use it as a closer.
