A very clever mechanism. But it doesn't pull much weight. It has difficulity pulling a selected
card out of a deck, unless you are holding the cards very looseley and wriggling them in your hand
to give lots of air between them. But it is so silent is is amazing. The string is very invisible.
The whole product is good quality. But stick to really light items like sponge balls, single cards,
kleenex, dollar bills. A hint, add a drop of hard glue to the button. It will make it easier to
find in your hands when you are trying to keep the pull hidden. (The button end feels the same as
the other flat end.)

I purchased this several years ago. I found myself having to frequently take it apart and reset it.
The kevlar kept getting caught up inside and had to take it apart to retrieve it. It's been sitting
in my pile of unused and broken magic items for years.
I should take the time to pull it
out and give it another shot because I'm sure if I could get it working, it would be great . . .

This isn't a very good gimmick, infact I would recommend you go for Yigal Mesika's Tarantula gimmick
instead because that one is a lot more comfortable and versatile.
As with most of John
Kennedy's products the demo makes the trick look much better than it is, and it's overpriced.

This is a great device. I would suggest reading the review written by Jeff D. from Los Angeles. He
has a lot of good points dealing with weight of objects and other issues. But if you have the time
to think of tricks to use with it, it can become a real jaw dropper, especially if it is used in
combination with other tricks like the ITR. The only problem that I have come across is that there
is not a lot of documentation on tricks that you can do with this. I find that you have to figure
out your own material. The overall reaction to when performing a trick with this is hard to beat. I
highly suggest it.

I love it, absolute insanity. GENIUS, GENIUS, GENIUS. Its so compact, it may not be the strongest
but its got so many applications, I'm willing to over look it. Get it NOW before it is all gone.
