the official text:
"Some random letters are chosen to make up the initials of a fictional character out of the performer’s sight.
A name could be thought of from these letters, this will never be written down; it’s in the mind of the spectator.
The spectator is asked to grip the performer’s wrist and scream the initials in their mind – Slowly and visually the performer’s veins shift and morph into the selected initials.
As an added kicker, the name can be revealed without anything being written down, they really do just think of the name in their head!!
This is powerful stuff. This isn't like Twisted Palm or similar effects, your veins PHYSICALLY do appear to morph into the selected initials and the name reveal is as clean as clean can be."

initial thoughts:
ripping off of Stigmata anyone?
After reading:
O.K. after reading this I thought; I'm happy now. this is not a stigmata clone' it is much different. the iniitials are onb the back of your HAND not the wrist. and it's repeatable VERY quickly. the only simalarities are thats it's mstuff appearing on your hand w/o adding anything TO your hand.
Now. I would just like to say: I don;t love this effect. Not because it's mediocre/bad though! It's an amazing method! I don;'t like it because I won;t use it. It's super practical etc. but I don;t do mentaliasm.
Now the good part is that this is 90% impromptu and nothing is ever written down by the spectator and they never EVER say the initials out loud, nor the name they are thinking of.
So, in short:
pro's:
almost impromptu
great for table hopping
the initials rise SLOWLY to the surface of your skin
angle proof
Cons:
I, personally, won;t use it
a little bit knacky to get the letter to come up right
you need something extra (not really a con but.,.. yeah. not a pro either.)
