BUYER BEWARE. The gimmick is very poorly made. It includes a part that is very brittle and breaks
quite easily. This is apparently only on the new batch of gimmicks. I had heard there was a
problem with the gimmicks on the first batch too, but different.
Apparently, from what I
read, they were not attaching well to the glass, so people were having the glass break or fall and
spill wine all over. Having seen one from the new batch, now the gimmick end is so brittle it will
break before you ever use it.
You also don't get a silk. You get the gimmick and paper
instructions with a video clip for $85. It's expensive for the poor quality of the gimmick.

review.For the price you pay you should at least receive a dvd. Also a better made gimmick

You can't perform this only with glasses that are very light, or it will breaj easily...I gave a
star because is a good idea however is a gimmick very poor and the price is not worth it :'(

I had the pleasure of getting this at Magic Live. I can say this super easy to do, super easy to
perform and yes works with any glass. Gimmick fits easily in your pocket so doing this at a
restaurant while out and about. You be foolish to pass this up.

Not surprised by the negative reviews. Kids want tricks that are perfectly deceptive with no
practice required, unbreakable, and free.
This illusion fails in each of those points. But
that doesn't mean it's not exquisite. ;)
The gimmick was slightly surprising to me as I had
guessed a sightly different method. In the explanation download, Losander mentions he had tried "my"
idea and further improved upon it to reach the final solution. I agree his solution is excellent.
The illusion is wonderful. However, it's not for everyone. If you work restaurants, I'd
highly recommend it. What could be better than levitating a guest's glass using his borrowed napkin?
All the makings of a genuine miracle.
The gimmick is fragile - but not so fragile that
it's not workable. If you are clumsy and more like a bull in a china shop when it comes to magic,
don't get this. If you are a light-touch and a visual artist, this illusion can only help your
mystique.
I'd like a slightly stronger material for the gimmick. I'd also like a different
possibly smoother cloth. I purchased mine directly from Losander and t came with download, gimmick,
and black napkin cloth - but it's cotton and creases easily.
All in all - a wonderful
illusion that will take a master just minimal practice. Not for beginners. Intermediates will need
to work a bit to get the hang of things.

I was extremely disappointed with this gimmick. The gimmick did not consistently hold the wineglass
after much practice. Do not waste your money. I am very surprised that Losander and Amar put their
names and reputation on this terrible trick

This item produces a wonderful effect!It is too expensive and should at least include a cloth and
DVD.

An easy levitation. It takes a little practice (like everything), but it leaves an impression with
the audience!
I dont agree with everyone who Says it breaks, i have tried to lift a wineglass that was filled and
it still worked, the cloth that follows is Good for hiding the gimmick aswell.
I have no problem with it. Of course, you have to use a wine glass. I believe you are told this in
the ad and video.
It's not self working. Practice is required, just like most tricks. Video
instructions are well done.
