If you do serious card work then Science Friction is a must have. I've been doing card magic for over 50 years. With Science Friction I have taken many of my favorite effects and added that last 5 percent of improvement that turns them into real miracles -- at least that's what my audiences and brother magicians tell me. Thanks for developing this truly wonderful product.
Magically yours,

Just made up an ID deck with SF and I can't believe how well it works.
Thank you very much Cardshark.

SF is a h*ll of a great product - it is one of those rare items and there is nothing else like it.

I'm fairly new here but I really don't understand some of the posts. If someone doesn't like a particular product, that's fine. However, I don't feel that it's appropriate for them to put down others who do like that product. I would also hope that before people put down a product, that they spend some time with the actual product to give an informed opinion. As far as the cost, maybe some people could feel better if it cost $100 to buy a DVD with routines and the company threw in a free can of spray. There are certainly products out there that could be made less expensively but even assuming that SF is nothing more than basic roughing spray (I realize it's more than that), then the company is doing the magic fraternity a service by releasing an existing product with some new ideas. Plenty of effect that have been sold are also available for free in books. That doesn't mean that the person buying the effect wasted their money. Perhaps, they knew about it from the book but didn't want to go to the trouble of making it up themselves.
One more rant...this is supposed to be a fraternity of magicians...let's all try to be civil to each other.
Just my 3 cents worth,

Dave-
Some very good words and advice here.
Just to make it crystal clear however, that SF is far from roughing spray being re-release. I know you aren't saying that it is - but that's probably not the best analogy to use.
This is in fact a breakthrough productt - it is something quite new - and it will allow many things your Grandpa's roughing spray wishes it could do but can't in a million years.
Roughing spray requires 2 cards - and much of each of those cards needs to be sprayed.
SF needs only the smallest dusting on a very small portion of one single card - and dries in less than 3 min.
SF is as close to "bottled magic" as I have ever encountered.
TRouble with your DL? Need a little hep with a perfect Elmsley Count? Triple lifts? Need a control card?
All and more possible with SF - making non card guys like me look like a pro.

Why argue with these people?
I just keep quietly using my SF and enjoying every effect greatly! I often have to keep from laughing out loud while using it. It is so easy yet so darned amazing!

For what it's worth, I plan on picking up Science Friction. I saw it at Magic Live in 2011 and it looked pretty cool but I had already spent my allotted budget on magic (okay, I actually spent more). I do realize it's much more than roughing spray but I don't personally own it yet so I didn't want to comment on that. I guess I was commenting more on one person in particular making derogatory comments about others and then others continuing on with some comments that weren't all that nice either.
Just my 3 cents worth,
Dave

Magicmagician83 is just another obvious troll, speaking ill of others for their opinions, then feigning shock and dismay when people speak ill of him. This is nothing new, there are thousands of these sad individuals all over the 'net. Sadly, this is the only way the common troll can obtain the attention he so craves. Generally, trolls have nothing of real value in their lives, be it family, friends, interests, and especially love. Therefore, the only thing they know to do is insult others, in a sad attempt to make themselves feel better. The best thing to do is either just say "okay" to whatever verbal diarrhea oozes from their mouths, or ignore them entirely. They HATE that.

Wow that may be a teeny bit heavy - I have encountered many a troll here on the Café but they are exceptions rather than rules thank goodness.
Good triumphs - and even I have said a few nitwitted things here over the years. Its all good.

Directly from us is the easiest way you can get it. Paypal payment, 4.90 Euro flat shipping or even free of charge shipping if you are ordering using your smartphone (as your purchase reaches the free of charge-limit with Science Friction).

SF is great.
Is there a site that users of SF can share their ideas and uses- I am sure that some will be very cleaver and useful to the rest of the magic world that uses this product.
