Why should I when the effects I've been doing for the past 19 years have always worked without a shadow of a doubt? I mean seriously. I'll give it a shot. If it makes my job easier then, definitly. But when I go to a gig, I only really need but so many tricks.
And I need those tricks / effects MASTERED. And with mastery comes every possible circumstance that can mess up an effect. I will buy this Holy Grail and I will probably be amazed by it. Especcially because all of you seem so impressed by it. To me, Torn had everything I needed in a TnR effect.
What I have seen is that the things that magicians put stock in (i.e. the examining of all the props) don't mean anything to spectators. Especcially the ones I work for. The majority of the people I perform for are drunk. They honestly care less if they get to examine every last piece of material. As long as I blow their mind. That is all I'm saying.

Oh for sure man. I totally agree, I just did not want you to take my review as a negative. I also love perfoming for intoxicated spectators. Makes life easier sometimes. But there is always that one heckler. I also agree to a point that specs are easily amazed, but not easily fooled(if that makes sense) I definalty see your point and agree with conditions. The conditions we as performers put on effects are far greater them those conditions put on effects by spectators.
