This is complete garbage, imho. Within just a few practice pulls, paint was coming off and very visible damage was occuring. It now looks completely fake. I tried to tell the effect's creator about it, and he said it was normal wear, and that I could still do the trick with it. Normal to start falling apart after no more than 3 practice uses?!?! You have got to be kidding me!

My grandpa used to warn me about the quality of things made by Taiwan...or was that IN Taiwan...either way, this thing sucks. I even told Taiwan Ben that I figured out a way to improve the design (for mere pennies, with an add-on part that anyone can find at home or most any store), but he didn't even ask me how I did it. It doesn't seem like he cares about his customers or his own products.

Another thing...the angles. There are no angles. Straight on to one person (or a Youtube camera) or else the "gimmick" will be seen. I couldn't keep my 6 year old from seeing it when only performed for her! Not cool.

I say stay away from this one if you want to avoid disappointment.

I bought this trick after having seen it performed in a viral video that was sent to me. In that video, he hands out the baguette to be eaten afterward. This is not possible with what you receive. Also, any practical methods require other supplies not included in this purchase. It is a clever idea, but I don't see this one going into my act without a LOT more time and money spent. The concept is useful, however, for those of you inventors out there looking for a newer idea.

Really nice product ! Perfect !

Instructions on how to use the gadget are useless-impossible to understand-great shame
