Well thought-out gimmick, glass is included and several suggestions in the video that would have
NEVER have occurred to me. If you want to add a STARTLING effect to your act or an AMAZING
"impromptu" piece of magic for restaurant work, BUY THIS NOW!!! I can't wait to knock 'em out at
the next Friday Fish Fry!

I like this product but it doesn't solve ALL of your problems. My main concern is 'transport' of
the fish. It is true what they say, this may be the best situation for the fish, but you still have
to get him to the venue and ideally you have 'sparkling clear water' for the moment of the
presentation. You may have to make that happen. So I knocked off a 'star' for that. Its nobody's
fault. Otherwise, the product does what it says it will do AND, they show you many ways to do that.
Of the options presented, I do like some methods shown on the video better than others but I must
say, the basic move works for me. Built into a narrative, one or more of those other presentations
will probably fit right in to your performance. I am using this as a 'last trick' and I like the
fact it is 'short and sweet' and 'amazing'. After regaining the attention of the audience for the
final effect, I offer a 'toast' to the audience, and a 'gold' fish. It happens so fast, one, you
want to be sure they are watching and secondly, they really don't have time to think about what is
coming as it just 'happens'. It brings on that feeling of surprise I want for the audience. The
video is good, in spite of the 'language' issue. It is covered well enough with lots of hands on
demonstrations as to how to perform this. It does require 5 minutes of preparation at some point
prior to presentation. Most of that can be done at home.
In the small setting, at the
end of the show, people can then come up, chat for a minute and the fish is still in his/her
'glass', drawing attention to those interested enough to come up and check out to see if s(he) is
'real'. Some of the presentations on the video are a little more complicated than others, and any
of those may work for you. I find the basic maneuver works just fine for my needs. Good Trick, Good
Value.
