Sweet (Bonus - Birthday Card) by Diamond Jim Tyler
DJ's effect SWEET is one where an initialed coin or borrowed ring
vanishes and reappears inside of a sealed sweetener packet that has been
in view the whole time. This effect leaves them speechless or in some
cases causes the onlookers to develop Tourette's Syndrome right on the
spot!
As a bonus DJ teaches another reputation maker called the
BIRTHDAY CARD. The birthday person selects a card and signs it and the
magician has trouble finding it, so to divert their attention he
presents them with a sealed greeting card envelope. He claims that
inside is a birthday card. Instead they find a playing card with a
different colored back with a personal birthday message. To their
surprise it is their signed card!
Diamond Jim has used both of
these reputation makers for over 15 years to slay spectators! The DVD
was shot before a live audience and includes the necessary gimmicks.
"One
of the things I really like about Diamond Jim Tyler's effects are that
they are from a real world worker. Here's a guy who is one of the
busiest close-up performers around, and these two effects are two of his
signature pieces. I saw him perform SWEET live and it really is a super
strong routine. The bonus is the birthday card routine - which alone is
fantastic. If you are a working performer or find yourself performing
in restaurants, bars, walk-around venues then both of these routines
should be in your repertoire. Highly commercial and extremely strong
magic!!"
