I think John Wayne Gacey used to perform it for children as well.

There is trick called Cupit - A complete card romance in three acts. Found in "The Little Green Lecture" by Pit Hartling

Miss Kitty's Favorite Card Trick (Chevrie) would fit in well.....
Does anyone remember the torn & restored paper heart that DC did for Emmanual Lewis? What was that called? ...

Is Garret Thomas' version of A.W very different to Doc Eason's? I've been playing around with Darwin Ortiz's 'Ultimate Fusion' which is along similar lines. I've probably spent far too much time thinking about this effect...

Several people have e-mailed so I just wanted to post the info.

It's a romantic themed manuscript with effects from several great contributers. Steve Mayhew, Greg Wilson, Justin Hanes, Marcelo Contento, Tomas Blomberg, Nathan Kranzo, Luke Dancy, Keven Williams, and more!

I have 18 left and they are $15 postage paid in the US.

Just e-mail me if you are interested.

I'm planning on doing cyril's trick with the hershey kiss on valentines day.
I think it would be a very sweet thing.

I gjust say Rose From A Card by Eun-Kyul Lee in Magic Magazine

I promised my girlfriend that I wouldn't come in contact with playing cards on valentines day

only joking lol - for the valentines day thing, try turning it into an impromptu version, and do it with something bigger than hershey's kiss. I tried it with a small box of chocolate (Rocher's I beleive) and it went over VERY well.

The floating rose,or Steve Fearsons floating finger ring.

More thoughts:

* Sponge Hearts (I made up a set to impress a waitress I had a crush on long ago, Perhaps someone makes them commercially. I've seen them in BEN FRANKLIN, used for kids ink printing I think. conclude by having a few small hearts meld into a single large and present a box of chocolates as it appears or use it for "Surprise Cover" to produce something else from under it.. a rose perhaps? A ring?)

* Sparkle "Kiss" Not familiar with Cyrils routine with this, I did teach a few select waiters of an opening restaraunt this fast magical "bit": Performer reaches into the air and produces a sparkle of light which he places into his palm and shakes slightly... On opening his palm it is seen to have changed into a Hersheys' kiss (of the same color).

Simple yes, another use for Dlight and a palmed KISS. Easy to play and repeat for ladies in a cocktail event. In the semi-dark atmosphere it plays very magical.
