Not at all what I expected, especially for this price. Their disclaimer at the bottom stating that there was a "audible click" when being used is an understatement, as anyone from 50 feet away can hear the actions taking place. Also, at this price it should have at least came fully assembled and with all required materials. Worst purchase ever from Penguin/Murphy's, this was a wasted purchase and I won't be using it, not even for friends and family members. NOT WORTH BUYING.

Completely misleading information given on the product page - "N-PAD admits a small audible "click" in some working environments. " Well the only environment where it would sound like a small audible click would be at ground zero at Hiroshima. Not only does it make a loud noise when the coin "vanishes", when the mechanism is fired there is a VERY LOUD noise impossible to cover up. The DIY stuff which could have been pre done was also annoying. This could have been so much better made with proper padding to eliminate the coin and firing sounds. This is a rip at any price, but $200 is a real swindle.

Let's start with the good: N-Pad does exactly what it's designed to do, and it does it consistently without fail when performed exactly as described. It was quite fun to just play with it.

Now the bad: The ad copy admits a small audible "click". Well, if by small they mean loud. Very loud. Very, very loud . . . then yes. Unless you're working in an extremely loud venue - like a night club where you have to speak directly into someone's ear in order for them to hear you - or doing the piece for social media where you can edit out the sound completely, I see no way that this can be performed elegantly in an actual show environment.

I was surprised to find that the unit does not come ready to perform out of the box. I'm guessing that a last minute addition was made to try to offer some kind of solution to make the unit quieter. To make matters worse, everything needed to do the DIY is not included in the package. Most homes will probably have the needed material/s, but at a $200.00 price tag, not including everything needed is not appropriate.

And finally, the cloth bag shown in the ad is not included with the package. Again, at a $200.00 price tag, there is no excuse for the bag to not be included.

Pass this one up and spend you're $200.00 on something that will be more than just a Collector's Item or dust collector.

Dealers should stop selling this. Its pretty much a scam at any price, much less $200. It doesn't matter if the idea is good if the execution is a failure. The prop makes a VERY loud sound and will fool nobody. And the only thing it can do is make one coin vanish and apprear a foot away just one time before reset is required. What beginer magician can't already do this with no props and for free?
