Effects that can be too strong?

The Web isn't really strong as it is more of a gag. It's not like they are going to go home and go "WOW A SPIDER APPEARED ON MY ARM!" they'll be like "Nice joke. hahaha!" It's like making somebody sit on a whoopie cushion or shaking their hands with a joy buzzer.

Stigmata is good and so are the others, I think Wayne hits em out of the park because he doesn't just do them, he most likely has a back ground as a guy who can do OTHER things in that general area, so now when he does it. The atmosphere and general feeling is just nuts.

It's like doing a Seance on Christmas compared to doing on Halloween.

The Web performed for people that are arachnophobic could cause serious issues.

There is no such thing as an effect being too strong.
Just incompetent performers.

Maybe not incompatent - to effect people strongly you need to quite compitent. Careless or overzealous in my opinion.

Same thing.
Either they overdo it or they cant build it up.

It's so damn intense. I'm wondering whether I'd still be doing magic if it never happened

Agreed. Nobody ever talks about this trick. I love it. I've seen Rodney himself perform it.
