THE BLURB:
The Painless Card Blister

IMAGINE: You show a painful looking blister on your thumb
from your last attempt at this hazardous stunt. Someone
selects a card and concentrates on it while gazing into the
flame of your lighter. You pinch the flame and the bubbling
blister magically morphs into the configuration of their
card. In other words, the image of their thought appears
fried into the flesh of your fingertips--seared into your
sizzling skin - Branded!

It's now a very practical, easy, no-nonsense method that

unwanted glances.

MY COMMENTS:
I'll admit that having a blister mysteriously form the shape
of a chosen playing card does not fit my personal conception
of what mentalism is. However, this is quite strong and
it's fun to do. With my high school students, it's exactly
the type of stuff that gets them excited.

As you might've guessed from the phrase in the blurb that
says "gimmicks for BOTH regular and mini Bic Lighters," the
gimmick works with Big Lighters, which is natural because a
lighter makes sense to have when doing this routine. No
lighters are included in this package, so you'll need to
obtain them.

Gregory Wilson performs and explains the effect on the disk.
If you're already familiar with Gregory's energetic
performances and wonderful teaching ability, then you know
you're in for an enjoyable DVD lesson. As I implied above,
this effect may not be for everyone, but if it piques your
interest, then this probably the best marketed version of
Jack Kent Tillar's effect available. Also, the gimmick
allows you to do the classic blister effect as well as the
card variations, as implied in the above blurb. So you can
certainly get this just for the cool blister gimmick.
