This is the new thing at ellusionist...

In the trailer you never get to see the actual "drawing" on the arm... they say anytime anywhere without any preparation... sounds weird...

so... any words?

I think it's the same effect on Banachek's Psi series Vol.2.

I've heard that Banachek has been involved with this DVD - which I must admit really suprised me as it's an Ellusionist release - however, if it's based on one of his effects then i guess that explains it!

Banacheck talks about it on the demo video at Ellusionist. The effect sounds really cool.

Ok I checked out:

This effect first published in a magazine by Banachek. He told that some other similar effects are on market too. He uses same effect with any letter or initials; but Wayne Houchin came up with a simple effect with this: "getting a selected card to your arm".
So Banachek explains this in his PSI Series Vol.2, giving credit to Houchin for this variation.
But now, Wayne has come up with a dvd: the original effect of this move (I think he will show some variations though), and with same price Banacheck's PSI Vol2. I call this irony..

Call me suspicious, but until I see it performed live I think I have some reservations with the idea... sounds hauntingly like an elaborate version of "Ashes in the Palm" to me.

If it happens the way he discribes it, I think it could be down right awesome in the right hands (in the "right" hands, it could be the basis for starting a cult).

I feel an email coming on all of the sudden... "Dear Steve, what the heck... "

Sounds great but we dont get to see it at all. The jury's out!

Anyone bought it and can do a video post for us to see>??

You don't need anything special to do the writing. But getting information is the tricky part here, so we need full demo of it..

I think E will probably post a video when they release it (hopefully )

I don't think they'll post a new video other than that, but let's hope so. But if they don't post a new one, I'm pretty sure how he done that.

I think you are right as I looked it up and Stigmata is on the content list.

The teaser they have out right now is deffinitely doing it's job...I would really like to see this in action.

they have a demo on the ellusionist website but doesnt ACTUALLY show the writing on the arm.. if anbody knows if theres another demo, tell me! sounds awesome though. $30 is alright for this effect.

I do believe this dvd has been reviewed here:
