I'm looking at some of his stuff, particularly Indecent and DisTortion. Indecent looks very nice, impossible, and clean, and DisTortion just looks frickin' amazing. Any thoughts?

I prefer Lee Asher's Indecent.
While they're both great, I perform Distortion more than Indecent. My two favorite Wayne Houchin effects are probably Control and Stigmata though. Control has just an amazing method, is 100% impromptu, meaning you could do it naked on the fly, and just amazes people. The only problem is that it's a bit serious of an effect. I mean, you're DIEING! It isn't the type of thing you can do in a hurry. It needs to be given the attention it deserves which is a lot.
As for Stigmata, you can have someone's initials appear on your arm, or have a thought of number appear on your arm. And it's impromptu as well. It's just amazing.
I will say one thing about Distortion, do not rely on the preview you see. I have tried before when I received the product to do it that slow and that close to the specs eyes. I am unsuccessful to this date, even though I no longer do it of course.
I'm not saying don't purchase as it is very good in theory and in practice if done correctly. Just don't expect to do it just like Mr. Houchin, I have no idea how he got it away with it but I was unsuccessful with that proximity.
Hey guys!
I just found this thread and thought you might be interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMEj5wmXk5M
Sinful looks great, but I don't see myself performing it.
I want to get Control as well, but can only pick one.
Indecent looks simple. Distortion looks amazing and good for cards. Control is sweet. I just don't know the difficulty or audience impact, but I'm mostly cards.
Ugh.
