I have a special-needs son who LOVES visual magic, and after seeing the trailer I was sold! Adam’s
instructions are very thorough & conscientious, leaving no nuance unturned, which was outstanding.
When I finally made this jump up and into my hand, my kid’s face was alight w PURE AMAZEMENT and
JOY!! You cannot put a price tag on THAT! It’s why I love magic to begin with.
THANK YOU,
Adam, for giving me AND my little one these cherished moments!! 🙏👏👏👊♥️

Received mine this week from elsewhere, wasn't gonna review this but would like to speak fair. Do
to an OBVIOUS negative review from above. I believe maybe someone just wanted to reck the rating. In
honest retrospect for anyone working with thread it's common sense the procedure is a bit tedious
but we still do it cause of the great reaction. With that being said This is a Beutifully crafted
detailed Trick with beginning Middle and and a Kick ass ending. Great packaging that makes sense.
AND A WONDERFUL SHOW PIECE. So for that review you should definitely do research before diving into
something that deserve more of a professional appreciation. Maybe stick to your Magic kits, or
elaborate more. Thanks for reading this .

Yes Adam is the man. He has even fooled the Greats. Now let's put it on the table. Is it just me? Or
is no one going to mention the FACT that there is NO STORY! He mentions very briefly a quick thought
about a grandfather but there is no story at all. And are you kidding me as far as the damn "made
easy part" goes. This stuff is so thick and shinny you can only do it from a far. If any light is
around you will be busted. The original "stuff" that is used to levitate may take some time to get a
piece...but atleast it really is invisible. This that comes ready to go is so bad...thick...and
shinny yes I said it again. Even if you had the OTHER part that makes this disappear...well you are
left so dirty that you don't even want to use that method. No cigar for this levitation.

The best magical moments come from a well told story, if you don’t have scripture or structure to
your routine, your just showing someone a puzzle for them to solve, this effect was BUILT to 1. Seem
completely impromptu and natural, 2. Have a reason to be in play. 3. Backed by a story that will hit
the hearts and memories of EVERYONE! Adam loves what he does and teaches every needed piece to
perform exactly what you see, you learn an amazingly clean vanish! The main props supplied the
components of the top are really all you NEED, the other item needed can be easily replaced with
different options/brands that might work better for you (IT) The best magic comes from items that
are always on us, that draw zero suspicion, this can be an EDC or a memorabilia piece! $40 you get
something that can wow at any event; no intro needed, packs a relatable story, quality prop, we pay
$40 for a card deck that cost $1 to make, $40 for the methods and the quality gimmick is a steal!
This product just looks dope.... oh and the bottle cap and wooden dowel spin GOOOOOD TOO, Adam, we
want more of these every day object effects

From start to finish I LOVE Grandfathers Top. It’s got everything a BEAUTIFUL effect needs. A story
that is emotional and provoking. An incredible mind blowing, deceptive and amazing trick. Not only
does it even have an ending (levitations close up with IT almost never have endings) but the ending
is incredibly deceptive and perfectly ties the routine into a beautiful bow.
I couldn’t
recommend this enough. An effect of this caliber deserves to be even more expensive and it’s a steal
at $40. I wish it was $500 so that less magicians were doing it and I could be the only one!
Thank you Adam Wilber for releasing such a beautiful piece of magic start to finish!

The teaching on this download is very useful. Adam does a good job teaching how to prepare multiple
gimmicks so that you do not lose your mind every time you have to prep the "you know what." He also
does a good job teaching the hook up and some subtleties.
Problems:
He makes
reference to a story about time, but I do not recall seeing a full performance with the story.
The "you know what" is not so invisible. It does have a gloss and it is thick. Maybe you have
to perform this in the dark. I shave my head, so the "you know what" clearly stands out on my head
and as it comes down the forehead.

This trick got a great review from Craig Petty, so I got it. It’s based on an old trick, but it’s
well made and so much fun. Easy to perform.

I would give the product 5 stars easily if came with everything you needed. It is 95% what it says.
A floating top that moves from hand to hand and you can have it assembled by the spectator. It
can also vanish and reappear,which is stated, however not as cleanly as shown in the demo unless you
purchase an additional item.
It's not hard to get, but it would be nice if it was the exact
experience ready to go out of the box. You get detailed step by step instructions, even how to
technically make your own top.
Everything, even the box is high quality. Grandfather's top is a
great name because it is good, tried and true old school methods at work

This is a beautiful piece of magic, or can be for those who master the effect.
For me, the
box is not quite right even though it is quite good. Picky-picky!
...and this effect is
venue sensitive. Where it is performed will have a lot to do with whether it is perceived as a trick
or magic. (Think Gypsy Thread in a really noisy bar vs a dinner table set up for a romantic
occasion.)
