Review
First a word about the effect itself, as you may have guessed (and it is mentioned on the website) this effect takes the 'out of this World' principle and makes it a bizarre and disturbing effect. Some adjustments have been made to the handling. The effect works itself, so you just need to present it.
Jack The Ripper Wikipedia
The package you get is very nice. The cards are suitably damaged, stained and have blood on some. They come wrapped in a blood stained cloth with a black lace around it. The whole package looks very disturbing when you put it down on the table and begin to tell the story.You also receive a very nicely printed 10 A4 page manuscript. This is stapled and is printed on good quality printer paper. The script is very good and the pictures are high quality. The beginner will follow the instructions with ease.
Of course the problem with this effect is that it may not be suitable for everyone. The story is rather hard hitting so you do need to choose the audience carefully. I also suggest performing this by candle light (i use the bleeding candles from Black Hart).
