> Stone Purse by Nathan Kranzo

Disappointing Prop Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 29th, 2018
First, let me say that Penguin Customer service is outstanding. They bent over backwards to make things right.

As to the trick, its a great trick. However, I have to agree with Ryan. The prop is very disappointing. Mine is significantly smaller than the purse. That, in and of itself, is not a big deal because the spectator never sees them together. However, there are two other significant problems. The texture and finish of the rock is completely different. The purse is close to a mat finish and the rock is flat. Unless you are only doing this in a bar in low light it will be obvious to anyone who is observant.

But the biggest problem, which apparently is true for all of them, is that one one side there are spots of very shiny fingerprints. Again - VERY obvious - and very disappointing.

So initially I reached out to Nathan. He dismissed all of my concerns and said I could sand off the shiny spots with fingerprints. Really? I pay $30 for a prop that is supposed to be ready to go and you want me to fix it?

So in all the years I have been a Penguin Customer, I never returned anything until I received this one. I want to support creators. But this was too disappointing. It's also disappointing that Nathan doesn't seem to really care.
