Cyril

ok so here is the deal i love an effect Cyril did on his show in Japan a while back ... the one where he has a selected card lost in the deck, has the spectator blow a kiss at the deck and a hershey's kiss appears on the back of it... then he pushes the piece of chocolate out of the card and into the spectators cupped hands....

i sent a message to Cyril to try and get some more information on the effect and he replied by saying that the effect was created by a magician named "Bob Borsia" and that he believes the original effect was called "Kissed"...

so what i want to ask is... does anyone know of Bob Borsia and where i could get in contact with him or does anyone have a link to a website that has this original effect up for sale?

for anyone that doesnt know what im talking about .. here is a link to Cyrils performance of this effect:

Not every secret is spilled man.

Thats what makes effects so great. i dont remember who was saying it. But some effects are best kept secret because those are the ones that really blow your mind.
 
Cyril told me that the effect was up for sale a while back im just trying to track it down... the effect itself is not that hard to work out really ... im just trying to do the right thing and buy the effect from the original creator.

This is an amazing yet very simple effect. Just watch the video a few times. I'm sure you can figure it out. But obviously there in lies the issue of "ethics"

like i mentioned before .. the effect is simple enough that i can work out a way to do it my self .. but im trying to find the original effect from the creator and try to buy it rather than just rip it off completely.

again im not looking for anyone to expose the effect here .. im trying to look for the original product and maybe even the creator...

perhaps one of the bigger names in magic that are roaming this site, with resources that i could only wish for ... could find some info on this effect or creator.

Not really, Cyril uses more everyday stuff like cards and money. Cyril doesn't do too much flying, if you get my point.

Yea but he pulls burgers out of signs lol, and put his arm through a fish tank or something like that, saw them videos a long time ago, i don't really remember :p

I don't like Cyril personally, hes like a Japanese Chris Angel, just seems too fake, although this trick is quite nice :)

In my opinion, their styles are totally different.
c3rb3rus, google say nothing on "Bob Borsia", I yhink it will be hard to find him, but I wish you all the best in our searches.

Seems too fake? As opposed to doing what exactly? Cyril and Criss' performance styles are nothing alike except in that they both appropriate conventions of the stage to close-up surroundings. But whereas Criss is a narcissist with an over-the-top presentation style and something of a fratboy/rocker persona, Cyril is more charming and engaging, and lends a certain class and elegance to what he performs.


Anyway, Kissed is available at The Spook Club.

Personally, I worked out my own handling, made my own gimmick, devised my own presentation, and I don't feel guilty in the slightest. We each have a mind and we shouldn't be faulted for using it.

I guess i prefer sleight of hand to levitating, getting run over by a steam roller, and pulling burgers out of signs

Only one of which Cyril has done. How much of his stuff have you seen? He does a lot of sleight of hand as well, and his handling of effects I know is so clean I can't catch him.
