So I had a chance to watch the DVD and take a look at the included items...
First off, the DVD is very well produced and the instructions are clear and to the point. The gimmicks provided are top notch and will last you a very long time with normal care and use. You recieve an empty Bicycle card box that is completely normal. I was provided with red gimmicks that can be used with any red Bicycle card box. Set up is easy but the re-set is not instant esepcially if you want to have the card signed and give it to the spectator as a souvenier but even then; you can prep tons of cards in no time. There are a couple simple sleights invovled (both of them you should already be familiar with) but they go over these moves in detail and you will have it down in no time. Overall, this is a great effect and I'm still surprised no one is talking about this. It's visual, easy, and a great souvenier for your spectator. Don't hesistate to pick this up! I haven't completely "assembled" my gimmick yet but I can't wait to blow some minds with BLAZE. Best, Brandon |

For you guys that have and use this, is it "finnicky?" That is, as I get older I like less heavy-move, convoluted effects and prefer more traditional methods (whatever that is). I think I'm getting jaded on having to carry and prepare 5000 things (this "might" make me actually start using flash paper, never liked being dependent on it) for something that seems like there's heavy cover involved (did I see that right with his hand covering the burnt card corner during the signing? I'm not fishing, I just don't know if it's "worth" it) and so on.
Not sure what I'm even asking other than a few of you have mentioned surprise at this staying so low-key. It's cool, but does it get reactions worth more than any work/prep? With a gun to your head, what do you rate it as something in your close-up/strolling sets, 1-10? EDIT: Oops! Just read your post above Brandon, that helps, thanks for your review. |

I haven't actually tested it out yet in real world conditions so I can't confirm nor deny whether it gets great reactions like we've seen on the demo... But it is very visual and the flash paper covers one of the moves like a classic magic act, kind of neat actually. I too was worried about the handling of the burnt card and the position of my hand does seem a little awkward but there is a move before the signing that would take heat off of the "chosen" card; but once again, I can't confirm how this works in an actual performance. I would rate this an 8.5.. teetering on the edge of a 9 but Im also a card guy and always have been and effects like these always grab my interest, especially something as visual as Blaze. Brandon |

With regard to the burnt card, adapt it to yourself if that makes sense, my cards have a lot of damage on them not just the corner section.

Can you make the gimmicks easily after the one you get wears out?, please anyone.

I had this, and although it is awesome, I don't know if I will be able to use it table hopping. IMHO the best way to do this is like they do in the trailer, which is to throw the flash paper at the card box. You notice on the demo they are outside and in a large empty Café when they throw the flash paper. The idea of throwing flash paper in a restaurant setting seems too dangerous to me. I am trying to figure out a work around but haven't found one I like yet.
Fire Starter: The burnt cards take about a minute to make and can be given out after each performance. I do recommend flattening them in a book though before using them in a performance.
