Well, I don't know if it was an actual waste of money on my part. As previously mentioned the end effect is great but in my opinion definitely not worth the effort. There are so many effects at ones hands that will fry people without having to sneak off to a washroom, prepare, perform within a certain time and then, hope that it will work. Again, in my opinion, the foot rig is beyond absurd to say the least and totally idiotic. Yes, I understand the "whys" of it having to be set up that way but that does not, in my mind, justify or compensate for the end result in any way shape or form. At least what I purchased for the effect will not go to waste as I can always use it and always have. I was perhaps thinking of selling this DVD but I somehow have the feeling I'll just have to consider it a loss as at this time I have the feeling I could not give it away. But, it's certainly not the first time I've had to swallow a poor investment and I'm sure it's not the last. Hey....if it works for you and you're comfortable with it all the power to you. It's just certainly not for me. It was kind of fun to play around with but then again, so was "Silly Putty" about 50 years ago as a child when it first came out.

I'm just glad to see this thread turn into what it should have been from the start. Reviews and improvement ideas for "Frozen". I think that the arguments about E's advertising techniques should have been on a different thread, not on one called "Frozen by Adam Grace". Maybe initial problems with the trailer were OK to post here, but not pages worth of personal insults and advertising theory. I checked this thread out to get performance ideas. It took 9 pages to get there. I'm glad I stuck with it through those early pages, because some of the ideas on the last few pages were great!

I purchased Frozen as well, but I have yet to perform it because I am having difficulty with the Napkin version of the trick. In an effort to avoid giving away the secret I'm going to be purposefully vague as follows......

Is anyone else having difficulty removing the _____ from the _____ ??
I feel like I need to buy a DVD on extreme finger manipulation.
Either that or pray MC Hammer's look comes back into style real soon.

I can't believe I just read 13 pages reviewing Frozen.Smile After reading everything I've concluded that the demo was so misleading that it caused problems with customers who purchased it. The demo was so misleading that ellusionist removed the deceptful clip from the demo after several complaints. Some ellusionist people tried to come on to change peoples mind to no prevail. The effect seems like it's a hassle to perform, and most are having problems with it. Some people seem to like it, but just the napkin version. There apparently is some danger to it because you are required to misuse a chemical that warns not to misuse it. This is what I got from reading all the posts.

Well, I guess I will save my money and not throw it away on this one. Thanks everyone for helping me make an informed decision.

Such a disappointment. I had high hopes for this effect ever since he had teh video up on his site it 2005. Has anyone been able to make this a practical workable effect? or do the challenges outway the benefits?

What a waste of maoney. Apart from the dvd I bought the needed stuff from the US becaus ethe ones in malta are not reversible. They cost me quite a lot.

But it's all for nothing. The prepared napkin does not last 10 mins with lots of the stuff on and sealed tight in a container and inside a cooler bag.
Yours,

Ivan

Sounds like a mistake releasing it that way. I wounder if he should have released the original version on his website, even if it cost and arm and leg. It least it would have worked.

This was not a waste of money for me.

I removed 3 stubborn warts with it.

Maybe Adams in the wrong business he should team up with a local pharmacy and bring out the “ Adam Grace Wart remover”!

This post is about the under foot version. My only problem has been the noise. I will do the napkin one and write about it also.

Many of you who have read my other posts hear me complain about not having everything to perform illusions right out of the box. This is one of those, but I can see why so I don't have as much of an issue with it. They could have included a few things however without liability such as the tube you will need and maybe a glue gun. That is what I would have done and just added it onto the price (maybe $17 more) which is not really that bad.

I wrote adam at his link so maybe he has some suggestions about the noise.
