Every once in a while you get one of those effects
that comes out on the market that is just to cool not to buy.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EFFECTS
Effect
"This is an ultra visual transposition done in the spectators hands. The
spectator holds the Tic Tacs
while you have the Altoids. In a shake the tin of Altoids transforms into the
box of Tic Tacs. The spectator
then opens their hand revealing that they are holding the Altoids."
Method
The method is so cool for this effect, that even if you do not like the general idea and do not think you will use the effect, you should buy it just for the
method.
Teaching
Many people I have talked to have said, that they are going to stop buying effects on the market because they sometimes do not get good explanations on the DVD and they say all the video had on it was music and subtitles explaining the effect. If you are afraid that you will buy this effect, and you might get bad teaching be afraid no more, the teaching on this video is very high quality, and nothing is left out.
Gimmick
All I have to say is WOW! This gimmick is very clever, and just the fact that the gimmicks works out the way it does, is such a coincidence. If you buy the effect you will know what I mean. You will definately not be disappointed with the gimmick, practcicality at its highest form.
Quality
The quality for the video is very good, not T11 quality but still very close. The effects they put in this video is really cool.
Overall Rating
I am going to go ahead and give this effect an overall rating of 9/10 because of the fact that many tricks that come out these days have been impractical and in no-way able to be performed in front of a live audience. This effect is very practical and can be performed in front of a live audience.

Every so often there are effects that come out on the market, that are just so clever and ingenious, that you just need to buy the effect.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EFFECTS.

Effect - "This is an ultra visual transposition done in the spectators hands. The spectator holds the Tic Tacs while you have the Altoids. In a shake the tin of Altoids transforms into the box of Tic Tacs. The spectator then opens their hand revealing that they are holding the Altoids."

Method- The method for this is ultra cool. You can tell that Dan put some time into thinking of the method. It is also very practical.

Gimmick - The gimmick will only take a few minutes to make, but once done your done, you can then perform this when ever you like unless you lose or don't have the gimmick on you.The gimmick is very clever and well thought out.

Set-up - This does not take very long at all, and it is very easy to set-up.

Teaching - The teaching is very good. He goes over everything you need to know. You may have to rewind to remember what you do next, when practicing the effect.

Quality - The quality is top-notch, very clear and precise.

Overall - Even if you don't end up using the effect, you won't be disappointed. But I don't see why you would not use the effect, the next chance I get I will be going to get some altoids and tic tacks, and then I will be able to make the gimmick and set-up the effect.

If you like Gimmicks you should definately buy this effect, if you like showing random awesome effects to people you should also definately buy this, if you are awesome you should buy this.

Nice review, one question.
It states that you can perform this in the spectators hand. How practical is this? Is it very risky or no? Thanks.

 

[Donald C.]

Yes, you can put it in their hand. Their is not much of a risk factor but that does not mean the spectator will not mess up, by mess up I mean well you will know if you buy it. Overall you will not be disappointed if you buy it and I believe you will love the in the hands version.
