eLit is an effect by Peter Eggink, in which you have a spectator selects a card, you borrow a bill and heat it up with a lighter. Suddenly, a watermark is created by the heat, revealing their card. They can then take the bill home and keep it forever, it is totally examinable. Crazy visual stuff.
The concept is extremely cool. You receive some "stuff" to perform the effect and this stuff should last you a huge amount of performances. You need to set up the gimmick one time until it runs out and you can have it on you at all times. I tried it out and it really does work. You cannot do it with Australian or any plastic money, however you can use receipts, pieces of paper, bus or movie tickets, etc. You can carry the gimmick with you at all times and it will remain unnoticed.
The routine taught is very easy to perform. I feel really comfortable busting the out because there really isn't much technical skill required, however practice is always needed for any effect.
The DVD is good but not very well produced. The lighting is kind of bright, and there is almost no talking, just pop up texts. This isn't a big deal, the DVD covers everything that you need to know, it just isn't the greatest quality.
I am all for solving problems. I was very excited to try this out, but when I received it, I realised it does not work on Australian currency. I had a few American ones lying round which I tested, but I needed an alternative. I have so far used it on bus tickets, movie tickets, pieces of paper, receipts and newspaper and it worked really well. So if you like the effect but live in Australia, there is still hope :) haha
This is an awesome project. I love how organic this is, because you borrow their bill and give them something completely impossible back. I love giving people impossible objects so this ticks all my boxes. I catch the bus to my school everyday so I could definitely have this set up in my pocket to perform for people on the bus. You WILL need to buy refills for this effect if you continue performing, but it's only around $10, not too pricey. If you can get past the DVD quality, the actual effect works really well and I doubt you will be disappointed. Love it! 9.5/10
