Anybody know anything about this new effect on the Hocus Pocus site being offered under the "Paul Harris presents" banner?
You stab your finger with a knife, drawing a drop of blood, which then turns into a ladybug. Here's my favorite paragraph from the ad copy: "Ladybug resource guide: You can easily obtain enough ladybugs for hundreds of performances. The ladybugs are shipped in a self contained package and require no feeding or care." |

Speaking as a father of a 4 year old boy and a 27 month old boy, I know a little somethng about these ladybugs that you get in the mail. The lady bugs do not live long at all and it takes about 4 weeks to get a new shipment of "live ladybugs." The ad also states that this effect is practical in real world settings. Absolutely not. This effect is not practical in real world setting or in any setting. Leave magic to the bunnies.

Sounds a bit cruel, even for bugs. No care or feeding??? Come on now.

It'd be cool if the drop of blood turned into a little ruby gemstone.

Good idea Roth.
That would truly be a "gem" of an effect.

And for such an authority, I'm surprised you're unaware that NO ladybugs live a long time (not just "these ladybugs you get in the mail"). These aren't dogs we're talking about. This seems like a fascinating effect but it's also the type of effect that screams for an online demo and I won't be picking it up until I see one or hear some favorable reviews. |

No ladybugs come with the trick but they tell you where you can buy them.

You can easily google where to purchase ladybugs, and for cheap to. There are probably cheaper places.
