Bruised

THE EFFECT:
Bruised just might be the most powerful way to reveal
someone's thoughts...... It is a great new way to reveal a
chosen or thought of card but it is much more than that. It
can be used with coin tricks, ESP tricks, to reveal a
number, name, initials, or word and so on.

Comes with 15 BRUISED sheets (more than 50 bruises -
letters, numbers, pips, cards, a quarter, esp symblos, etc.)
and a DVD packed with routines, application tips, and
endless ideas to to help you come up with your own routines
as well.

Running Time Approximately 74min plus bonus features!

MY COMMENTS:
Certainly, this is a lot less messy than ashes on the arm.
And, in certain areas of the country, much more practical.
Okay, method-wise, you probably know what's involved and
what's on the bruised sheets. I haven't actually tried to
transfer a "bruise" so I can't honestly say if the bruise is
realistic, but I don't think it really matters. If it's
close enough, the spectators will react strongly and it'll
become a shocker.

Obvious possibilities would be to have an ESP symbol
selected and that symbol appears "bruised" on a part of your
body. Or have someone think of a coin and flip it. It's a
quarter and it lands heads, for example. Then show the
quarter heads up bruised on your body.

Sure, this isn't for everyone. I'm not even sure I'll do
it. But it's unique. The only drawback is that you get a
wide assortment of bruises, but not a large quantity of any
particular design. As of this writing, there aren't refills
for this. At least, not that are available through me. In
any case, it is a pretty cool product.
