Toosh is a freaking great idea! In fact, it's probably the BEST trick I've ever seen with business cards. I honestly can't believe it hasn't been generating more buzz. Do yourself a favor and pick this up.
If you're interested, I posted a full review of this on my blog: http://www.calebwilesmagic.com/?p=1773 Caleb

Here's the way I have gotten around my artistic handicap to perform the Tic Tac Dough version of Toosh. Keep in mind that I cannot draw an acceptable looking circle. Following a suggestion of Steve's, I made up two template cards each of which had a square cutout in its center determined by a ruler. In the smaller square even I could draw an X by simply connecting the opposite corners. For the CIrcle, I placed a nickel in the center of the template. I then took a Sharpie and traced the outline of the firmly pressed down coin. I just had to be careful when I picked up the pen to draw the circle's 2nd half.

SInce I am artistically cHallenged I set up my hearts and smiley face cards in advance as follows. After much searching on the WWW I found some one inch smiley face stickers here: http://www.shopwiki.com/Smiley-Face-Stic....../roll%29 . I picked up a couple of sets of 80 for about $2.50 each.
For my 3/4 inch hearts stickers I did a search on Ebay for "Hearts Tanning Stickers." I found them there in varying quantities. I suggest that you stay with solid stickers as they are far easier to handle than the segmented ones. |

I had a gaggle of business card effects I would do. Very strong stuff. I scrapped them all for Toosh. I just don't think there is a stronger trick to do with business cards ( IMHO ). |

TOOSh is so goo, that it got the FIRST worker of the week!The Wizard Product Review a couple of years back.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsH0P_dZVO8 David Penn is BIG on doing magic with his business cards and I can see why he went off about Toosh. You show both the business cards, signed by them, but one of them is already in a different location, under their bottom, or anywhere else you'd like. You don't have to be a working pro to use this ( teenagers even have business cards these days ). My wife is an artist and I use her cards. Steve Haynes is a BIRIALLIANT thinker! |

I had a lot of polarity problems with Toosh. Corresponded with Steve about it and he was as helpful as he could be, but I still never got it worked out. Everything about Toosh seems fantastic. I just wish I had been able to get it working.

I miss my toosh! All joking aside, I purchased this when it first came out, then through a marriage  separation it was lost, (my wife put my toosh right out of the house)  before I really got the chance to work with my toosh.  I recall just a little about the method, except that I thought it was genius.  But I sure do miss the effect.  I had big plans for my toosh. After all, I payed good money for my toosh. And from what I could see, the power to secretly plant my toosh under some pretty woman's toosh is something I don't want to live without. *sigh* Yes, I sure do miss my toosh. :(
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.
