Actually I just wanted about 5, but since the minimum is 1,000, I caught a lucky break at only getting 100

I think the real "value" or "impact" of this effect surpasses the method.
In Richard Osterlind's book, "Making Magic Real", he discusses that magic that should meets some practical need (albeit convenience). When magic is practical on some level, people can automatically attribute meaning. ... That evokes powerful responses. If you could do real magic you wouldn't have to tie your shoes. They would just be tied again! Great thinking Jay Sean |

This is one of those tricks that as soon as you open it and learn the gimmick, you start thinking of other ways to use it. I've had mine about a week and already have a few cool things I am working on. If you get 2 of the gimmicks, the possibilities are even greater. I wish I could say more, but don't want to give anything away.

The reason I like this trick so much is because it is so natural and un magic trick like. I mean there are no cards, coins, odd props, stereo types or anything else. It uses something we all know, we all use every day. It takes such a mundane thing and elevates it into a special little bit of magic that can be done any time and any place. It just feels very different than almost any other trick out there.

Anyone knows why Ellusionist removed this DVD from their stock?
Wonderful things do happen
Magic is so relative, that we all think we know what it is @pablovaldes |

I asked them about it a while back...All they said was that they just removed it off they site but they still have some in stock if you want to order it.
I guess they're low in stock |

This may have nothing at all to do with it but it is odd since the DVD and trick were produced by a regular member of the penguin magic gang... Ellusionist may (again, TOTAL speculation here) not want to directly support such a major competitor of thiers.
Just a random guess. |

Or maybe they took it off because it's Luke Dancys, not, whoever released it.

Ellusionist I believe does stock it but they do not put it on their page anymore. You have to call in to order. This is most probably due to the fact that Penguin is a direct competitor.

Love it but it does not work well with warm ups at all. Its 90 something here every day so this is going to be a winter or evening trick for me. No way in heck am I wearing jeans during the day here.

Cute but not deceptive, imo. (I tend to believe laymen are more intelligent than we give them credit for).
That said, I could see it working well in some situations. I'd like to hear if any who are doing it regularly are getting busted, and how often. |

I tent to agree with you bsears,
it did'nt fool me at first time I saw the effect. I wonder whats the reaction of spectator as you fiddle with your jeans right in front of them. This does NOT mean that I only buy things that fools me but, this one I've got some mixed feelings. |

I do this all the time and it takes a short bit to reset. I repeat it once or twice to the same people as well. Laymen will not catch you. They just won't because it's so amazing and is actually within the realm of reality. Stop thinking like magician's guys, you'll end up with a lot of magician fooler material that laymen seriously will not get and often give you a "uhm, that was neat."

Well. I'm not sure if I can answer the question really, but I will try.
it was asked " I'd like to hear if any who are doing it regularly are getting busted, and how often." Well I am doing it regularly, very often in fact and I have yet to be even close to busted. The reactions have been very strong. You do not "mess with your jeans" or do anything that does not look totally natural and normal. I guess if you performed it REALLY badly you might get caught, but what trick does that not apply to? I'll be glad to report the first time I get busted but I doubt that day will be coming any time soon. |

I'm still undecided if I should get this or not, It would be great for kids, but for Adults, ehh... After seeing some performances on youtube, it really doesn't look all to great. Anyone ever got caught?
