If you have tiny child-like fingers, you might be able to keep this on the proper finger without it
falling off. And the switch for the light is also in an awkward position to operate smoothly.
And good luck when it comes time to replace the batteries... you're going to be using
chemicals to remove the adhesive to access the battery compartment and you'll be doing arts and
crafts with a glue gun to reassemble the light fixture back to the little arm. Why wouldn't they
just use magnets to have the arm adhere to the light assembly?
It's beyond me why they
release stuff like this without getting feedback from real performers in the field first. This was
a nice idea, but poor execution.
I don't recommend this.

First I don’t think this is necessarily better than the original little hand. It’s more to mess with
fellow magi me thinks.
Second: To have to essentially break/dismantle the gimmick to
replace the batteries is a bit over the top considering some of the parts are extremely small and
may “vanish” on you if you aren’t careful. I don’t suppose that would be a big issue but if you lose
any piece of this irreducible complex gimmick it’s done for.
Third: as is written by other
reviewers, you got to have small fingers to get the gimmick on or creatively modify the gimmick.
Finally the on off switch is difficult for me to activate but could probably be
reconstructed to be in a better position when you “break” the gimmick to replace the batteries.
Good idea just begging to be professionally made.
40 bucks is a good price point
for a well thought out gimmick but not this iteration.

...horrible execution. If I can't figure out how to modify so it can actually fit my finger I will
try to return it. Especially at this price. Does not even fit my pinky, much less the fourth finger.
Unless you have abnormally thin fingers, the gimmick is unlikely to fit.

That regret being, I came up with this upgrade and someone beat me to the jump.
WOW.... Great
trick!!!
