There is a nice new 'wrinkle' associated here, although I have to say the method may not suit many as much as the standard OOTW.
The materials included are excellent - really really excellent.
Jim Critchlow's manuscript is well credited and uniformally brilliant throughout; the cards themselves, with the background stories attached are fascinating. They will generate a huge ammount of interest in any close up performance.
In the UK £30 is a fair price; for the boys in the US? I'm a little concerned it may be too much if you already have Dan's work, especially with postage costs.

More to follow (gigging Friday night - will perform there after show in bar).

OK a real "Field test":
I used the "Beyond.." handling - spectators mix the photos, and an experiment takes place.
Now, as the manuscript says, this IS NOT A CARD TRICK!! And don't play it as such.
And you know what? It works unbelievably. I did this twice, and got great reactions, without anyone catching on to what I regard is the weakness of the effect.
I'm going to continue to play with this, and I'm going to use Mr Critchlow's methods with the "From Hell" cards.
As I say, nice cards, nice wrinkle, but costs may be a little high if you're paying for this with US shipping.
