One Point Effect

From Expert Card Technique:
"Time and again it has been proven that a trick simple in principle can be baffling in the extreme, for the straight line in conjuring, as in geometry, remains the shortest distance between the conjurer's two points, method and effect."

Now, imagine an effect where you are actually doing exactly what the spectator believe you are doing.
The effect is the method and vica versa.
There no two points, only one point.
Isn't it the shortest possible distance possible to achive in magic?

The worst ever performance of the pulse stop effect

Not only he is holding his right arm in an unnatural position, but you can still see him breating...
No wonder the PEA accepted him as a member.
