"I use it in the restaurants all the time. I can attest to its strength. 5 restaurants 5 nights a week. That’s a lot of stars being given out. Beautiful piece of astonishment that they get to keep." -Shaun Robison

"I remember Dan presenting this to the group at the F.F.F.F. convention and I was immediately taken with the improvisational quality about it. I immediately went to work to create a memorable, meaningful presentation. I shared my presentation with Dan who published it in one of the last issues of the Minotaur and it made me proud. I still perform this impromptu miracle everywhere. It is the best close-up, non-card trick on the planet. Thank you, Dan for this miracle." -Scott Wells

"A classic that has withstood the test of time from one of magic’s greatest minds. The part I love is they get to finish tearing the napkin and they hold onto the piece they removed.

It’s great for a planned set, but it’s also great to have Starcle in reserve for emergencies in case props or luggage are lost." -Joe M. Turner

"I have been performing Starcle since Dan taught it to me in Jeff McBride’s living room around 2000.. Awesome effect that can be performed most anywhere. No angle issues. The story, and the telling of the story really is the key to making this effect something more than just a trick. I have used it everywhere from hospital shows to the Magic Castle. It’s a must for any performing magician’s repertoire. The fact that you can leave a piece of magic with the observer is just a bonus." -Timothy Shegitz
