The Idea is pretty ood however it doesn't really work... well it can work but most of the time if you leave the glass and card in the spectator hand more then a minute they will figure out the trick as it is almost impossible to make the card perfctly examinable while performing in front of the spectator. It might work sometimes but most of the time you will get busted except if you don't let the card attached to the glass and tare it out after short examination... but if you do the trick loses all its power...

First trick I send back

but this one appears to be a bit of a pipe dream. There's no footage of Henri performing this in front of a live audience on the 25 minute DVD. I imagine if he did the resulting card on the glass would not hold up to close scrutiny. The idea is elegant and great, however the execution is lacking.

this effect is exactly like advertise, it is a reputation maker. the kind of effect that look impossible and leave a "souvenir" that will make the spectators talk about for a long time.

there is no big surprise in the "how to" since it is strait forward , easy to make the gimmicks and really logic if you think of the preparation and the manipulation of the effect.

the prep of the card that you will have to do yourself, is quit fast so you can prepare a bunch in about 20 minutes and then go on and perform your table hoping.

the only thing i would had as a bad note is the fact that henry is not really entertaining to watch and listen to in the dvd. He is, obviously, reading is text on the camera lens and seems to have a problem with his pronounciation which annoy me a little. let just say that we are far far away from a Joshua Jay kinda teacher here. just saying.

Also, it is funny how, at the end of the dvd, he said that this effect has been worked out in any way possible and is now perfect, but in 5 minutes, i could find 2 ways to improve it. Sometimes its good to use a little humility and think twice before commited yourself in such a comment.....

but overall, it is a great magic piece that i would recommend.
