Product Review: “Sinful” by Wayne Houchin and Josh Funk VS Masterminds by Criss Angel

I just received “Sinful” by Wayne Houchin and I am deeply disappointed. It is a very good trick but it is the exact same trick that is taught by Criss Angel in MasterMind DVD, Volume one. Now I recognize that Wayne Houchin  created this effect and has been made popular by Criss Angel. Criss Angel is marketing the same trick and, it is much better to get his DVD on this trick than to buy “Sinful” as it is marketed for the following reasons:

1.  In “Sinful”, the DVD does not demonstrate the trick at all but simply discuss the rationale of the effect which I felt was no big deal. “Sinful” describe the working on this trick with good graphic illustrations but it is not as good as having Criss Angel demonstrating it and then teaching the process on DVD.

2. “Sinful” comes with a book with cartoon illustration and so on but I feel that it is much ado about nothing.

So for anyone who wants to work on this effect, please get the DVD by Criss Angel. This is a great “street magic” effect which can be easily performed .

Difficulty: Simple, but requires some simple sleights of hand.
