I hate to ask, BUT, What is a "awes" anyway?

Awe = to be left in awe or wonder. hence the name ashes to awes. when the published it in the linkig ring they miss named it ashes to ashes. the also mis named my effect a"lid"le trick, they called it a ladle trick.

It's good.... but Some things should be left and are only LECTURE material. This is one.

Lecture material?
STIGMATA really is great. I do not care about the method being 'stupid', 'simple' or whatever, it garners a marvellous response from an audience. If you think of what's really behind the methods of other great effects like...the Anything Deck (Paul Harris), Three Cards Accross, PK Touches, Blindfold Drives, many Q&A routines, whatever you care to think about. In fact, if you look at many of the 'classics' of magic/mentalism, you'll see that the method is VERY simple (...in hindsight). The difference comes in the delivery of the performance. But we all know this, and yet everybody wants to lay an egg about it. ... Glad I got that one out. Aubrey de Wet |

I love Stigmata, I only do the version with the initials and every time I perform it, it's a jawdropper.

Doesn't work on my skin.
Just a quick note. Three auditioners performed Stigmata at the Magic Castle Junior Program auditions and I would say none of them had good presentation as well as the mark did not show up very well at all. I hope it works better when everyone else uses it. |

Yeah iv'e read a few times about how stigmata doesn't work on all skin... it works on my skin just fine... if it doesn't work for you for some reason, maybe you should move onto a ash on arm effect?
Customized greatly...

I only perform the effect with any named number, without set-up (with my handling). Spectators just could not believe what I could have done cos I can instantly repeat the effect as well with another number.

I'm assuming this is Stigmata by Wayne Houtin (sp?). I love his effect. It's simple, no preparation & can be done several times... even though I would never do the same effect twice in a row!
I can see where this couldn't be for everbody, but it is simple to the point of being idiotic. To me, therein lies its brilliance. The few times I've performed this, I've gotten great reactions! Which is to say, I freaked some people out. Now, I've combined this with the Electric Touch & wow! There's a difference right there. I am planning on combining this with another Stigmata where the palm bleeds after the electric touch & the information is "burned" into the forearm. Not for everybody, like it's been said, but definitely worth consideration. |

Milez, I sent you a PM... but, I can say that, with the proper amount of build-up, the ET & Stigmata will cause you to be burned at the stake! LOL, well, maybe not that bad, but it's certainly made the people around me look at me in a different light.

I can imagine! I need to cook up a good routine and patter with the ET soon before I decide to sell the thing (its just not very practical for me at the moment). But maybe a good effect with stigmata will change my mind.

I know this is an oldish thread but I didn't want to create a new one. I got Stigmata recently and performed Stigmata without the dvd because I already knew the main method. My money was well spent on this dvd. High quality video and teaching. I used to do a riffle force but the dvd teaches a classic force. I used to be very scared trying to do the classic force because it is VERY bold but I've been doing this with a 100 percent success now. The initial of the name revelation is beautiful and the center tear is perfect I've performed it about 3 times today already. Number revelation is nice as well Wayne's performance videos help a lot on how everything should look like. I give the dvd my highest praise. Impromptu magic at it's best.

I own this and like it but I cant get anything on my skin, I guess I am one of the unlucky ones. Glad most of you are having good success with it. I will stick to ashes I guess but that is so dirty.
