Plastic Surgery by Kevin Schaller - Free

No thanks. I'm not interested in either.

It doesn't matter if the method is different. It looks the same. Marks on the plastic change into something. You have the extra of something appearing under the plastic, which reminds me of another trick (that one was on E, but I can't recall the name). So, as far as I'm concerned, you've just combined two other people's ideas into one.
 
How can you argue that it is not original without knowing how it is done?
Actually the methods are completely different and the ink on plastic surgery doesnt change on the plastic it is written on the box.

I can say it's not original, visually (and I have been emphasizing that this whole time), because I can point to other tricks which are already published which are very visually similar. I don't know if your methods are unique or original. It's not my job to do your research for you.

The idea is not new. The method may well be and I applaud you for coming up with your own method. But visually, this trick is very similar to others, and there's no denying that.
