I don't think that you will find any dealer selling it for less than the £12.99 and if postage is free then it's a potential bargain.

ID is right in what he has written about this effect. It's sweet but whether you will use it or not is a different matter which depends on it suiting your style of performane.

I see what you mean, but my dealer said about a tenner. Thats with p+p. I think I'll stick with him, if it's all the same, hes gone and got it already. Please mention you have what I'm looking for, before i go and order it. We're all magicians here, you should know what trick i want before I mention it.

All the best,
Croz

update five years later, I had put STS aside for a long while, I haven't performed it in years, not because of any problems with it or the reactions from it, I just get bored with things and move on to something new. I'm now doing it again mostly because they don't forget it! five years later and gobs of tricks later, I seen my father again first time in years, he has seen several of my magic effects in the past. I was surprised to hear him ask "Can you still tie your shoes without using your hands?" and went on to say "I never did figure out how you did that". After hearing what a lasting impression it left on him, I decided to start doing it again. Sometimes as a magician I forget what may become not so impressive to me, can still be very impressive to the layperson. Sometimes after knowing a secret, I forget how deceptive and clever it is.
