Its a case of more is less with this one I’m afraid.

Paul Harris Art of Astonishment had an effect called Twilight Angels which you’ll see on numerous videos on You-Tube. Its a great effect and I intended to buy it when I turned up at Davenports this week.

I actually got the latest version of it called Naked Angels on Bikes which has an extra gimmick which allows you to perform the effect in a spectators hands and also makes it easier for walk about.

Luckily you do get the gimmick to be able to do the version of Twilight Angels you’ll see on the net. Its a great trick and the transmogrification of the card using a mirror is just spot on. I love it to bits so feel more than happy with my purchase.

However the extra gimmick I am not so sure about – Yep the effect happens in the spectators hands but not as visibly as with the mirror. It also screams gimmick and, with that gimmick being in the spectators hands, you are going to have to be really on the ball to make sure they don’t just start examining the props mid way through the trick to see whats happening.

So Twilight Angels – Great

Naked Angels – Not convinced.
