For $20 bucks you get a a lot . . . a supremely produced DVD, a few of the "special" papers needed to make the effect work, and a ton of cool (er . . . hot) ideas.


The Ad copy is 100% accurate (though keep in mind that any "revealed thoughts" are, of course, Magician's Choice. The DVD teaches you how to set up the paper to be ready any time. The effect is beautiful and visual, and what's more organic than having a receipt or two in your wallet.


It's the perfect "impromptu" type of prop and effect. Additionally, you are shown where to get the paper you need when you run out. It's very easy to get and very inexpensive, so no worries there. There are a ton of great ideas on this DVD. It's very practical, and everything it claims to be.


If you combine this with a Frixion pen (Shameless Plug), you could have some serious fun.


As always, it comes down to whether or not you liked what you saw in the DVD teaser. This concept has so much potential and the best part is that the presentations don't have to be card revelations. It can be a revelation of one of the objects purchased on the receipt. Or a revelation of a thought of object from stuff you normally carry in your pocket - or a spectator's pocket (e.g., keys, coins, wallet, dollar bills, etc.).


The organic nature of this as well as the nearly infinite potential makes this one a solid highly recommended product.


Final Verdict:
5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!

Manufacturer's Description:

Burn Notice is a unique principle that allows you to reveal what a spectator is thinking with simple, everyday items. Your spectator thinks of a playing card, an object, or anything else. You pull a receipt out of your wallet, touch it to the flame of a lighter, and the spectator's thought instantly appears on the receipt! The receipt can be given out as a memorable souvenir!

On the Burn Notice DVD, Christopher Wiehl teaches you how to prepare any ordinary receipt so that you're ready to perform at a moment's notice.

The DVD also includes a bonus PDF file with a specially-designed receipt that you can print at home in order to perform additional effects. These effects can either be done as a lead-up to Burn Notice, or performed on their own. Burn Notice is practical, visual, and easy-to-do. You'll never leave home without it!
