BOOK REVIEWS FOR BURN:
"...Daniel uses
fire or even sheer telekinesis to place intensely visual, impossibly
stigmatic burn marks on cards or in one case the card box it's
self... Now, let me first say how amazing these cards look - D
goes into detail to create each of the 13 gaffs, every one at least
as grim as the last. I'm most impressed by the Wrath 2 gaff -
Using this tool, you can make a selected card vanish from the deck
and it's image, pips and all appear scorched into the card case.
Amongst others, there is the cards you'll catch in the great video
demo and many others with various selected card relevant burns on
them.
So on to the routines
included. There are 44 pages here, as per usual from D, they are FILLED to
the brim with really powerful, ultra workable material. If you're a fan on
Daniel's other work you'll be far from disappointed with what he has to
offer here. There are routines in which ghostly images of a selected
card appear burnt into the face of an indifferent card, small to huge
holes INSTANTLY burnt into cards, the indexes of cards transposing.
There's lots to get your teeth into and the best bit is that in genuinely
inspires you to take the concepts taught in your own direction, it gets
the mind going.
On a whole I'd say this
is the one stop shop for fire themed effects, not because of the overly
expensive crazy pyrotechnic stunts, but because of the sheer workability
and simplicity of the routines. They are direct, to the point and
can play out to be VERY sinister. Overall another fantastic product from
Daniel and I can see it's the beginning of something big..."

"...Burn is one of the most new and
creative magic tricks of 2008. This is a concept that will have you
thinking about new ideas for amazing tricks that will cause a great
connection between you and your spectator. Burn is gritty, cool, and
different. I will most definitely be performing at least one of
these tricks constantly! I congratulate Daniel on another brilliant
illusion and trick..."
Tyler Chase - Magician
"...I've tried and tested a number of Daniel's material... but the Burn
effects have to be my favourite...
Daniel offers a complete and thorough guide with this manuscript.
Along with being a good read, nothing is left to the imagination.
These pieces of strange will be sure to leave your audiences with not only
a charred mind, but with a piece art they will never forget.

I say, A ' Burn' card, just may be the ultimate souvenir and being from
New Orleans, a number of these are going right into my strolling set. My hat is
tipped at D and R3man. Another awesome collection of oddities... Two
lighters way, way up!"
