"A perfect little production for the bar" -Acar Altinsel, Penguin Magic
The Effect Take a box of matches from your pocket and rest it on the palm of your hand. Explain, "This is a very strange box of matches." As you speak the matchbox flips over on your hand! "They look like ordinary matches, but they're not." Now the drawer slowly slides open by itself! At this point your audience is really impressed, but you're not finished yet...
Say the magic word "Viagra" and a 2 inch tall match jumps out and stands on top of the box! Wow!
The improved gimmick is entirely self contained with no body hookups.

Here is the truth. I give it a 2.5-4 stars. It does exactly what the video shows, but it is a mediumly hard gimmick to conceal, and the match box you get is a little small. It would definitely be worth it at 10 dollars, but it's 15.00. So it depends on the person. If you have loose money definitely spend it on this, but if you're looking for the best trick I recommend something like scotch and soda or Healed and sealed is awesome. See ya

I received a thin style matchbox that looked obviously and very cheaply gimmicked. I feel John Kennedy's further modifications to his original release of this effect (that are supposedly improvements) have actually rendered a great effect...completely unperformable.

Okay I thought this trick would be better. It is very hard to conceal the gimmick. I did it to my 7 year old cousin and he found out how! Don't buy this trick.
