Too Hot To Handle is a routine by Kieron Johnson. The basic effect sold is that a can goes from freezing cold to boiling hot, however Kieron teaches a full and rather awesome routine that goes around this one moment of magic.
The routine is great, I never really know if I can outline the routine due to copyright so I won't, but I will say it is interactive, there are multiple visual and flashy moments of magic, hilarious parts (bread to box, is all I'm saying) and the ending with the can is just impossible. The can is on the table the entire time and is also handled by the spectator freely.
You receive supplies which is used for prepping and carrying the gimmick around with you. The set up for this effect isn't hard, but a little time consuming. However, with time, I'm sure this will get quicker and quicker as you become more efficient with it. The set up is rather extensive and you do need to carry quite a bit of stuff with you for the routine, but if you like the effect and want to perform it, I believe this is a small price to pay for such an incredible routine that WILL leave the spectators speechless.
The DVD is really well produced and the production quality is brilliant. Kieron, as always, teaches the routine in great detail and covers every aspect of the effect, leaving no stone unturned. He also teaches a bonus card to chocolate bar effect that is really funny and I can really see it fitting into my strolling act. They said that this routine could be a DVD of its own, and they are so right!
This DVD is sorta expensive, $50. But you really get two tried and tested routines that will blow your audiences away. I really like this, and despite hating large set ups, I will give this a go. This will kill in the right situation and if you like the idea of the can going from freezing to boiling, it's a no brainer to get this. You get that, plus two different routines which can be performed even without the can. Really great stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed Kieron's thinking behind this. You can see the effort has been put in to make this DVD as comprehensive and complete as it is today, and the routine is perfect. You'd be stupid not to pick this up. 10/10
