Whilst there are already many glowing reviews of this great new effect by Tony Chris, I just wanted to add one more.

As a Living and Dead test it's first class, but more than that, it opens up numerous possibilities for variations on the original theme.

For those of us who appreciate the "packs small plays big" scenario, I strongly suggest picking this up. With the right presentation, this is a killer effect (pun intended).

As performers, supporting emerging creative talent like Tony assures us of exciting new creations to come. Check out the video on his website and be assured that what you see is indeed what you get. http://www.tonychrismagic.com

Highly recommended.

I had an idea for this. What if you use blank Decision cards and have them read Dead and Alive. The person puts either card facedown in front of each pile then picks photos. Now you show the ending then turn the Decision cards around to show they matched what was placed in front of them.

You could also do a simple version with laminated cards that have erasable words and letters so that both cards read: IS NOT ALIVE. You can rub off the IS NOT when needed on either card.

I got this two weeks ago, was already very familiar with the technique so luckily I have really been able to focus on presentation.
I have been using the Hampton Falls story to break in but I am looking for something more historically factual to reference.
Definitely plays HUGE.
