Salem Blood Test

SteelFyre

(Based on 1 review)
Found in a hollowed out leg of a piece of Church furniture in the late 1900s. The Salem Blood Test was created in 1693 in response to the outlandish trials in Salem. The Blood Test reveals for the first time a true test for evil Witch or Warlock Blood.

The method for the test is outlined in an old scroll:
  1. Relax the "Sample Blood" by placing drops on the five points of a pentagram drawn in chalk or black parchment.
  2. "Recant." Table salt, as it is said that it burns the skin and boils the blood of evil ones, is sprinkled in the center of the circle.
  3. "Watch Carefully." Depending on the amount of evil, the reaction can be from nothing to a slight steam to a violent burning of the blood and, in extreme cases, bursting into flames completely consuming the parchment.


Comes with enough for 13 performances:
  • 13 black parchments
  • Evil blood bottle with dropper
  • "Instructional scroll" (age to your liking)
  • Clalk
  • Instructional DVD with many hints and ideas for performance and aging of the props
  • Evil blood


This is a fire effect and should not be sold to anyone under 18 years of age and is for entertainment purposes only. Manufacturer is not responsible in any way for product misuse.

I consider myself lucky to have scored one of these. I remember first reading about it in the April, 1992 (666 issue) of Genii magazine. Since then it's been sort of unobtainium, at least to me.

In reviewing this, I obviously have to keep my audience in mind. Most magicians would never have the opportunity or, most likely, the desire to perform it. However, for those of you into all things bizarre, it's a gem.

It comes with everything you need, including a lovely dropper bottle and even a stick of chalk. There's a real focus on safety, as well. We're dealing with combustible chemicals here, after all. The dangerous bits are packaged separately, just in case.

Steelfyre has put all of the instructions, background and performances on a DVD for ease of learning. He goes into great detail with the history and philosophy, which is really necessary to pull off this type of magic.

I can't say much more, really. If you're into bizarre magic and don’t mind messing with some chemicals and a bit of fire, this will be a great addition to your repertoire.

As of the time of this review (December, 2011), I think the only place you can get it is from the Denny & Lee Magic Studio in Las Vegas. I'm not sure if they can ship it, but give them a call. You can find the number at http://www.dennymagic.com.
