I'd like to review H&S real quick. I'll start off with my initial impression and move on from there. When I first purchased this, I thought, "Uh...A book? A short book? Where are my props?" I was slightly disappointed and my lazy self was not ready for hours in front of a mirror or video camera. Later that night, I sat down and read the booklet. Wow. It is very well written and explains everything step by step. The book even gives some example patter material. I promptly discarded that and made up my own. The book also goes into great detail on how to prepare for and perform the trick; it even gives alternates and improvements on the construction, performance and handling of the trick. It takes VERY LITTLE time. Right now, someone could say, "Hey, Do that can trick." and I'd excuse myself to buy a can of soda and go to the bathroom. By the time I'd be back, I'd be performing it. ....The performance: Well the trick is easy to do. It is amazing to see the look on the spectators faces as the can expands without me manipulating it. It is almost self working. When I reseal the can and then re-open it and pour a drink, it is amazing. I then even hand out the can. NO one has yet even come close to figuring it out. They never will. Today, the fourth time I did this in front of someone, I performed it in front of 45 high school students as they stood around me. (Their study hall teacher was right there watching as well) After I poured myself a drink, I gave a girl a taste and passed out the can and left. After talking to the teacher later in the day, EVERYONE looked at the can.... Bottom line: this trick is great and is easy to perform. and best of all, it looks like and IS powerful magic. score: 5 of 5 stars.
