First and foremost the instructions are only two minutes long. So of course you are not going to get very much detail however its pretty much easy to set up and to perform. It is noisy so thats all up to you. I had to stick my small piece of material to the base other than that it is ready to go. I feel it is over priced now that I can see how its really made . If it breaks or snaps we are out of luck. No instructions on how to repair.

In Germany we say "outside hooey, inside phooey" (All fur coat and no knickers.)
The effect is already impressive ("outside hooey"), if we disregard the unavoidable noise. The material is cheap, and it's only a matter of time when the elastic band stops working ("inside phooey"). The produced material has to be fixed by double-sided adhesive tape or similar, i.e. it cannot be taken out after the appearance. The video explanation is very short and should have been more detailed.
In my opinion the trick is a dazzler and completely overpriced. Two stars only because of the effect.

I got the item. Good trick, worst product, it have just too much sound, so finger snap can not hide it. Also the one I got the cover material was already half out of glue. The instruction are just 2 minute with no explanation but demo movie.
If the rubber torn, there is no repairing material , so you will have to look on your own.
Cons:
As I said the BIG problem is the sound.
Also mine do not go back too good and most of the time stack on half way in, so I don't really trust this one to work even 80% of the time, no go for me :(

Pros:
Good thinking - I wish it was made good.

Okay, I agree this has potential. It is not noisy its LOUD. A snap of the fingers is not going to hide the sound.

The thinking behind this is amazing. If it could be made with another material that wasn't so loud it would be incredible.

The tutorial is short, and you will have to look at it a couple of times but once you understand how it works its very easy to use.

You can try to quiet it down by adding cloth in areas like the other reviewer said.

I give it three stars ONLY because its to LOUD.

THIS POORLY MADE PIECE OF JUNK DOES NOT WORK.

this is cheaply made. Poor construction. Video instructions unhelpful. do not buy this effect.

Many have dissed this product... Yes, it’s not that sturdy, as promised... yes, the instructions are short ... true, it makes noise (which can be muffled) ... yes, I thought about sending it back, because it’s expensive for what you get ... but guess what? There’s some magical stuff going on here, and THAT’S really what it’s all about and why I’m keeping this and building on it — for stage, closeup or YouTube — this has potential...

I bought it for the purpose of creating an interesting thing for my son. I made candies from the box and this really delighted the kids. LOL.
Box and pack really well. Smagic needs to make more similar products in the future.

Very visual. Short and simple instructional videos, like their gimmick. This trick is potential and can be done with many effects. The box is well made and sure, I think it's beautiful. My problem was the sound, they said that it was possible to fake it with a snap, I tried and there was no problem. Interesting, I will explore it.
