Just thought you might be interested in this:
Killer Elite Pro will be available from Alakazam in December priced £24.99 + P&P Effect Four postcards are shown each bearing the picture of some of the most notorious screen killers ever. You set the scene by telling a story: four killers on a night out at a casino and an argument breaks out. Shots are heard three men are down, only one left standing - when your spectator make his choice he is totally correct! Comments This is the much improved version of Andy Nyman's Killer Elite. I was lucky enough to be shown the prototype at the Magic Circle Dealers day by Peter Nardi. This is an excellent effect, and, in my opinion, one of Andy's best to date (apart from Dead of Night which is stunning). For those of you that have the original you'll know that the cards are bigger than playing cards so for walk-around it's not ideal. However, this new version is contained in a smart leather wallet and the four cards are credit card sized in good quality plastic. The casino chip is now a real one. Two of the outs are the same and the two others are very well produced. It should last a lifetime. Killer Elite Pro won't suit everyone's style of performance as it has a violent theme, but it's a fantastic piece of theatre. It's a wonderful improvement on the original, which was already good in the first place. I give it 2/5 for difficulty because you need good presentation to make this a killer effect. It's actually self-working. It should be available on the website to pre-order in the next few weeks.

That sounds interesting. Are the featured killers historical persons or made up for this effect?

Hey Steve you beat me to it.
I was gona post a mention about this. I have seen it and I highly reccomend it. Those that have the original will know what I mean when I say that no matter what the outcome, the result is now strong every time. The props are 1st class and look very nice, it is perfectly compact and should last a very long time. The killers are classic film guys that everyone can releate to. Steve Dela MMC |

Are the killers the same as before?
It'd be really nice if they included Leon (The Professional) this time. I reckon that one would be selected by most people anyway, so if there is a strongest out... |

The killers are the same - Tony Montana from Scarface, Mr Blond from Reservoir Dogs, Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver and Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction.
Leon is too nice a killer to be included!

I for one am really pleased that the 4 characters are being kept the same as the original version.
As Steve mentioned these are classic villians that everyone can relate to. Looking forward to this version arriving on my doorstep! |

Hi,
Killer Elite Pro will be listed on our site this weekend. Killer Elite has long been a fav effect of mine. I came up with the idea of making a smaller, smarter pocket version about 18 months ago. Me and Andy Nyman has been re-designing it since then. We had a long discussion about the possiblity of changing the killers but we ended up with the same four killers as they are now so well known. Leon's name did come up but he was far to nice to be added to the elite group of nutters! If you already own Killer Elite you will be very happy with the changes and if you don't already own it, you will want to now! The new pocket version is something I will carry with me. It's soooo coool. Regards Peter |

I have a feeling it can be pre-ordered. Or at least you could at the Magic Circle Dealer day.

Diceman is an awesome trick with a kickbutt presentation. The lamination of the cards is what really sells the end when the participant can turn over the card. It is an excellent effect. Try it out sometime!
