So here's the deal.

What you get on the DVD is essentially the product of a week's worth of workshopping with the tattoos. Every morning while I was out there, Brad and I got together and conjured up different ideas, effects, presentations, and performance tips for the project. Because we were so compressed with time, you'll notice that you may get a lot of raw, underdeveloped plots. Despite that-- you'll also notice that these raw ideas still get the hardcore reactions we all strive for.

I point this out to mention that I did not have much time to really analyze and play with the tattoos as thoroughly as I would have liked. There MAY actually be a way to hide the ink while it's on your skin. Merely because Brad and I didn't think of a method doesn't and SHOULDN'T limit what you may potentially think of, yourself.

Some people have speculated that all you can do with the tattoos are card revelations. When I received the tattoos, all I wanted to do was disprove that-- and there's a decent amount of material in the DVD set that shows that. There's material ranging from classic card revelations to mindreading to coin magic and offbeat card magic. It's very versatile and you can tweak and create the material to better suit what you want to express in the magic you perform.

Brad wanted to create a project that would help introduce aspiring magicians to the basics in card magic and mentalism. This DVD set accomplishes that. He also wanted a project to help inspire seasoned performers to think creatively outside the box. Since some of the effects on the DVD are essentially raw thoughts put into action, I believe we set a great foundation for people to find some hidden value all throughout the project.
