That was awesome Sean!!!! Do you have an alternative to how to reveal it besides casting a shadow? I guess you could place it on top of a piece of black paper. Maybe the cover of the bottom of the pack if you make it that way? so you fold it backwards? Just a thought.

Hey Brent,
Thank you very much! The effect was designed with shadows in mind, and the way the matchbooks come out after burning, I don't think they would work as well... Sf |

Great looking piece of magic prediction.
You could also,if you wish tie this into brent brauns superb matchbook restoration effect if its neccessary to remove any evidence. On that note Sean can you hand out the burnt matchbook as a giveaway? |

Hey Natmagic!
Thank you very much. You certainly could use Brent's (wonderful) creation in conjunction with Absence if you chose. However, Absence has been worked to where there is nothing to get rid of; you literally just light the matchbook on fire. Yes, you can (and I do) leave these with the spectator. The matchbook is exactly as it should be... Sf |

Love it Sean its fabulous.
I think your only stumbling block could be international shipping of the matchbooks. |

Hey natmagic,
I don't think I would ship complete matchbooks, likely the cover only to avoid such issues. Hey pegasus, The gimmick is the same, it is just the routine is different; rather than lighting the matchbook on fire, you place it on their hand, with yours above, and have them 'burn' the celebrity into their mind. Smoke is seen to emerge from between your hands, and when the matchbook is again examined... For those interested, I've posted a few more images of different celebrities; check them out here: https://www.instagram.com/seanfieldsmagic/?hl=en Thanks again everyone! Sean |

Great idea about shipping the match book cover!
i have played around with my best guess on how this is done, and agree (if I am right) that DIY will be way to expensive and tricky to do for most people. just the thing you need to create the design costs at least £160, then the other things you need on top, then countless hours perfecting it, much simpler to buy ready done. this is a genius idea, done to perfection, so much cooler than using scissors. cant wait for the release! |

That's sick Sean! Definitely a fan of your other work so I'm in. Quick question about the for*e... do you have links online to the flashing celebrities vid/gif, or do suggest other solutions like a Sven Pad for ex?
Thanks, Nadeem

@Nadeem,
Thanks very much! I wasn't going to share the force, as there are many other, more practical methods out there. I do recommend Sven Pads for this purpose. |

So, What do you get?, How do you get it?, What does it cost?, etc.
(I went to your website, but found no description of what you get or how much) kj |

Hey 1KJ,
Still trying to work out the logistics. There are a few companies interested in producing it. I'm just weighing the options, to ensure the highest quality product possible. Thanks for your understanding and patience. I will certainly keep everyone up to date. Sf |

Thanks, Sean. It looks awesome.
For what it's worth, here is my input: I don't know what method you are using, but if there is any way for you to put this out as maybe a plastic stencil and spray so we could make the effect on a variety of papers, such as business cards, that would be really awesome. Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome effect, but I wouldn't be interested if I am merely purchasing expendible matchbooks. I have purchased this sort of thing in the past, I get hooked using it, and then the producer stops producing it. KJ |

Hey 1KJ,
Unfortunately, due to the method currently being utilized, that would not work. Honestly, the best option is to provide the matchbooks already prepared. I know there are many like you who prefer to avoid consumables, but this is much easier to buy than to make. And no worries, I have no plans to EVER stop using this, so I will always produce them.

Agreed, although I'd prefer the non lit version.
