Liquido

(Based on 2 reviews)
Yes, the coin is really melting. The spectator can see and feel one of the most awkward experiences of their lives. Yes, it's as visual as you can get. Liquido looks like trick photography. Sounds too good to be true? Good.

REVIEW
The concept is great. However, it is merely an idea that I have not seen any evidence of anyone actually using it successfully, including the author.
It requires the purchase of several other things, one of which may not be the easiest to find.
There is no demo showing this idea actually being used successfully.
CAUTION
This would have been a much bigger success if JP included what was needed to make this work, and included a DVD or download link showing how to make and perform this effect.
VERDICT
I can't recommend something where there is NO evidence that I can see that it even works or works well.

For $25, you get an 8 page mini-booklet that tells you to spend another $25 bucks or so on other stuff that you can "get online at cheap prices." You need to buy a special something that costs about $20 bucks per 5 grams, plus another special something that costs about $5 or so. Oh yeah, and the book doesn't tell you how many grams of that special something you need. For all I know you'll need 50 grams.
Assuming that the special something works the way JP claims it does, then you may have a decent trick here. However, I have a funny feeling that the reason there is no online demo is because this effect isn't as amazing as we are lead to believe. Additionally, though it is nice looking, the booklet is poorly written with typos, grammar errors, structure problems and is just overall juvenile-ish sounding.
In order for me to truly know if this product is worth anything, I'd have to spend $25 more bucks, assuming I only need 5 grams of that special something. In my opinion, this would have been fine as 1 of many tricks in a book. Or what would have been even better would be to include the special something with the booklet, and maybe even make a DVD showing how to create the gimmicks and showing us what a true performance looks like, but alas . . . we paid the entry fee of $25.00 only to discover that we must spend more money.
I would give this a half star, but I'll go with 1 star because if this works the way it claims, then it might actually be a worth-while purchase, but for now, we'll go with rubble . . . 1 star.
