I like a lot about gone fishin, and if it worked on all glass surfaces I would of given it 5 stars.
However while setting it up to practice I discovered that some glasses do not work well. The most
common glass you will find in my local area is a pint glass and I am not sure why exactly but the
effect was very hit or miss with the pint glasses I tried it on. In some cases it worked exactly as
shown but others that little sucker would not budge. If you plan to perform this impromptu, make
sure you do a quick practice run on whatever glassware you have available before you give it a go.

This is a trick that uses a technique that most people were not aware of but is easy as pie to do.
The video would have been much better if, as Roddy points out, was taught with a white background
rather than the black background used. This is better performed as a first trick for any
surrounding. Then you have little worry of getting 'caught' although trying to perform this
surrounded requires more guts than I have. While I will perform this, it will be only for limited
situations where I have complete control of the angles.

Tried all suggestions and still can't get the fish in the water

This trick gets 5 stars for the brilliant idea and a brand new principle I haven't seen elsewhere.
I'm sure there are going to be further applications for this discovery of Roddy. I'm knocking a star
off (it should only be a half star off- but that is not an option here)because as other reviewers
have mentioned, this is not a trick you can do impromptu in all situations without checking out the
glassware, lighting and angles. Though to be honest you have to be aware of angles and lighting with
lots of other effects too. The idea is really cute and one of a kind- just be aware of these small
limitations. Roddy is a super creative guy and the effect is well-taught. I will probably buy
anything with his name on it after "Little Door".

Will you be doing this effect every time you perform? Probably not. But when you do they won't
forget it! One of the most original magic effects I have seen ever. No gimmicks. No time consuming
arts and crafts. Just pure magic!

This is a great trick that has worked consistently with exactly one glass in my home. I tried pints,
wine, glass mugs, water glasses, shot glasses, and even a coffee mug. The one it works on has an
colored finish that i assume allows the fish to stay together but it might take some time to find
your Holy Grail

Didn't work as well as on video for me, maybe it was my marker. I just didn't like the effect. Too
many props needed for something that I didn't really like.

This is fantastic! I’m always looking for easy to perform visual magic. This left my wife and
daughter speechless. Even fools me when practicing it really looks that good. Comes with everything
you need to perform... I would have happily paid more! Great value here

A beautiful close-up miracle. I wouldn't say it's something that is gonna be in everyone's close-up
set, it certainly won't work for all occasions but this one is for at the bar or when working at
restaurants. Very nice, creative!
