(I posted this on the temporary forum, but I wanted to post it again so it stuck)
A few weeks ago a version of Healed and Sealed Soda was released on DVD under a different name. (H&S is the effect where a soda can is emptied and crushed, the can is magically uncrushed and resealed, opened and soda poured out.) About a week ago I found out that magic dealers are led to believe that I gave my blessing to this DVD. I would like to let it be known that I was never approached in any way by the makers of this DVD, nor do I think it is an improved method. On the contrary, in the original manuscript it is advised against the method used on this DVD for very obvious reasons. In my mind, the method used on this DVD, although doable, makes the setup complicated and the performance totally unpractical and very restricted. I am saddened mostly by the fact that this DVD seems to be aimed at non-english speaking countries since it uses no spoken words except for the introduction. I am probably speaking to people in the know already, but I need to have this said. Sorry about that. I posted it here because Healed and Sealed Soda seems to be considered a street magic effect. |

Let us all know when you release the DVD. I'm sure a lot of people will want to pre-order it.

Yet again the innovator gets ripped off!
I hope you sue their butts and get some $$ back from them. P.

I am sorry this happened to you. I have your booklet and think it is a great trick. The firts two times I saw it were live close-up shows and so I never thought of it as a street trick, then again, neither do I think of Blaine as a street performer. He simply chose the outdoors as a venue for his TV special.
Have you considered placing an advertisement in the magazines that will be promoting the video? Perhaps it could contain the names of the many satisfied H&S customers who have your product - with each person contributing a bit of cash to offset the cost of thje ad(s). Frank Tougas

I am very satisfied with my healed and sealed, Anders, and hope you get the best end of the stick legally in this matter.

I think that the manuscript for Healed and Sealed was one of the best written and fully explained magic texts around. Also, the effect has been a huge hit for me. I have talked a store out of carrying that video because it angered me.
