Just received this and I'm very impressed so far and I'm yet to watch the explanation. The supplied props look really good and the creepy effect a real corker. It's a two part effect where the spec freely chooses one out there 'victims ' and ends with a torn and restored photo which is somehow sleight free......

This is one not to miss, if you like scaring the £&@? out of people...
The trailer: https://vimeo.com/238039407 Product description: When a torn photograph of a murder victim restores in the hands of your participant... When that victim was correctly intuited, merely thought of, from three potential victims... When that photo then changes in a truly disturbing way... Â They can only do one thing...FREAK! Genuinely solid methodology makes this bizarre, story-based, torn and restored nightmare happen pretty much all by itself in a way that is genuinely inexplicable and genuinely unsettling. Â First, your participant is given a completely FREE CHOICE out of three potential victims. They don't write anything down or say anything out loud. Then they are given three torn photographs - portraits of three pretty girls from a bygone era - each one a potential victim. All three photo's are clearly torn in half. It's VERY clear that they are holding nothing more or less than six pieces of torn photographs - there are no false counts, nothing is stolen away and no sleight of hand is used. They are thinking of one of the girls in one of those torn photo's and when the actual murder victim is revealed it is precisely the one victim they have in mind. Every time. Now, the two photo's of the non-victims are removed from their hand - very cleanly. You neither steal or add anything as you very openly table the four pieces of the other two photographs, leaving them with just the two pieces of the genuine murder victim's photo. Now, without any moves, in their hands, the pieces RESTORE! The correctly identified victim's image has restored in their own hands! But it's not just restored...it has also changed...the pretty girl is now a horrifying ghoul and she has a message for you...from beyond the grave! FREAK is a stone cold KILLER - literally! The routine is wound around the tale of the 'Portrait Ripper' - a serial killer from yesteryear who would taunt the law by sending them ripped photo's of his next victims. The story has an intriguing twist in the tale as it is finally revealed, through the eerily restored and frighteningly altered photograph (that they were just THINKING OF!), who the 'Portrait Ripper' really is! Keeping in mind this all happens in their hands? I'm sure you can see why we call it FREAK! FREAK will be supplied as a video download and all the necessary props will be shipped out to you. Available worldwide from MoM here: https://www.magicshop-deals.com/products......-forrest And available from Full 52 here : http://www.full52.com/freak/ Hope this helps Dominic

Having now performed this a few times, after changing the presentation to my own and utilising a wallet instead of the envelope ( which is fine too, just my preference) I can honestly say that this is one of my best purchases this year. Highly recommended

Got this yesterday in the post, just watched the video tutorial which is excellent. This looks like a great effect - beware that quite a lot of diy is required

Just waiting for this to arrive, hopefully the DIY is not too involved

The DIY is fairly straight forward but I find it amazing no one mentioned this.

Hard to tell what's really going on from the trailer, but it feels like it is taking a very interesting and potentially creepy premise and making it a bit tacky looking at the final photo.
The ending makes this look purely like the "trick" it is and would remove any degree of plausibility from the premise. This would be a fun topic to explore, in the right way, and IMO should be a completely standalone effect / not presented as "magic" per se.. Lots of unrealized potential in this.

A picture restoration and changes will look in most cases like a magic trick..... however with a good story, some personal modification on your props... it will look like a very creepy magic trick. I like it because it pack small, it has 3 surprises and a very creepy ending. The methods can also be use on your own pictures easily. |

Perhaps Dave should concentrate on completing his Cubism sets for the poor customers that backed him before releasing more stuff......just a thought
