It's a great visual effect. However, this is the only positive aspect about "Lego Frame".
First
of all, the quality of the material is very simple and definitely not worth its high price.
Secondly, the gimmick is quite loud when being operated, so you need to cover it (e. g. by playing
background music). And finally, you need to keep a certain distance from your audience and cannot
perform it surrounded. To sum it up, it's a lot of fuss about nothing.

The visual effect is nice, but for $400, I certainly expected much better quality! Lego Frame has
been inside my home since it arrived a couple of months ago, and I have had to take three steps (so
far) to get it to function properly.
1) It did not include enough legos to build two of the
pictures, which the instructions state CAN be used together, so I had to order additional pieces
from Lego to complete the second picture — which took over a month, due to shipping delays at Lego.
Plus, it cost additional $22 dollars for the needed pieces.
2) Three of the four Velcro
fasteners came loose by themselves - with no force applied to the Lego plate. So, they had to be
re-glued back to the piece of wood to hold the Lego plate in place.
3) The black tape across
the top of the frame that attaches the back cover is coming loose - with no applied stress to the
cover. I have only operated “the method” about five times. That is ridiculous!!

The effect is beautiful but the used item is of very poor quality, once it comes out of the
packaging it is already losing pieces...
This is an amazing trick. My audiences love it and being "LEGO", it captures the kids attention (and
a lot of adults too). It is a little angley, but some of that can be taken care of in rehearsal. The
only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the sturdiness of the prop. Although they are all addressed
in the instruction video, it would be better if these minor things could be taken care of in its
manufacturing. The items are loose Velcro, secure transportation, the pins and the weight system.
The last one is dependent on how many LEGO pieces are used and their location on the baseplate so
that one may not be able to be addressed in construction. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoy
performing it and would recommend it to anyone doing stand-up and stage work! It's a real crowd
pleaser.
I would like to point out I did not buy this from Penguin I bought it on the road. ( I have
purchased a huge amount from Penguin and I like the way they do business)
This trick is very
good, However its not for everyone.
Its not for Club guys or people that perform for family at
holidays.
This is for Semi Pros or Full time Pros, He is the reason it take a lot of work.
You will not perform this right out of the box.
I had some of the same issues some of the
previous reviewers experienced. Having said that I would Purchase it again, it is expensive.
Pro
- Lay people have not seen this
Everyone on the planet that has children has stepped on a
LEGO and screamed a 4 letter word - Very easy to recognize
Con - It takes over an hour to set
up the images and I had issues printing - Full image would not print out. I took a picture with my
phone.
I had the issue with the Velcro, he points it out the video --- Why would they not
address this problem in MFG.
I had to move something on plate 2 to make it fit together
better . Easy but still annoying.
Its not real stable, I feel like I have to put something
on my table to secure it.( in the real world things get Hit/ Moved or touched - Not this prop.
Your table will need to be on level ground , Back yard kids party OK if the kids are at least 10
Feet away
Will not work in a comedy club or a living room party (you dont want anybody on
the sides or too close)
It takes time to set up the balancing to minimize to the " Talking"
There were issues with the back I am working on
Again I do like the trick, I will
do the Double reveal.
Good for parlor or stage, Just have to work out the bugs.
NOTE: Every
stage illusion I own took work, It took 2 1/2 years for me to get my ITR perfect ..... it was worth
it.
Put in the work in and you will have miracle.
Got mine, have already used it and it was a real blast! I have used it in a funny atmosphere but it
can be also used in a more poetic and elegant style easily. For that i am now ordering spare plates
and pieces and waiting for my custom images :D
Very satisfied with the purchase, the video
instructions are detailed and actually helped me solve a detail that i thought it was a problem.
I love this so much. It is really visual and the method is easy and diabolical. If you do family and
kid shows like i do then you have a item that everyone recognize it. Besides that it is also very
magical.
What can I say?
its great. done about 10 times and the audiences absolutely love it. Its
definatly a buy. extremely happy with it.
You can get custom templates which is great to
personalize it for corporate shows for example. :)
Lego frame in my opinion is the best stage release of 2023 it’s awsomme, I love it, so many
possibilities, method is just as clever as the effect, highly recommend this I give it 100% a
worker👍
