UV Nightshades by Paul Harris and Mark Allen turned out to be somewhat of a treat. I liked and have used Mr. Harris’ “Improv Nightshades” on a few occasions with great success; I feared this was going to follow the recent trend of re-releasing an effect without any real improvement or even worse, there have been many that were actually steps backwards. It definitely takes a little more time to prepare the gaff, but it allows for a very clean handling.
If you are not familiar with this now classic effect, you borrow a dollar bill and draw a pair of sunglasses with a pen over Washington’s eyes. After showing your hands clean and holding the bill by the edge… the shades suddenly and visually jump to George’s forehead. Without cover or switches the glasses are permanently inked on the bill and can be returned. The new method even allows the seasoned performer to do this surrounded.
The real treat on this DVD is “Ultra Peeler”. This is Mark Allen’s improvement of Paul’s effect from Art of Astonishment. Using a method based on “UV Nightshades” you have an amazing revelation. This unique peeled and restored card effect is better than Nightshades in my opinion. I also believe it is only a small example of what can be accomplished using this method.
You are also given the necessary item to perform a third effect “Ultra Spin”. It is a nice handling for causing a borrowed pen to spin. The method is not new but the handling given is “Ultra” clean and the moves are orchestrated beautifully.
My biggest complaint is the almost amateur production. Poor editing and camera work were only exacerbated by the poor performance and mediocre but adequate explanation.
If you are a fan of Paul Harris’ quirkiness this is a great value. If any one of these effects are of interest for you to perform you are getting a good buy.
