When the cane appears, everyone is surprised, including the older boys with attitudes. The cane
reliably swallows the silk I show first. My earlier cane, which was pretty good, got jammed by the
silk and it broke. It may happen with this one too but not so far.
It takes a little
practice to properly handle the cane when it appears because it comes out with a lot of force. A
couple of times it shot out of my hands like a spear.
If you're not careful, you can cut
your hands a little winding the cane back up. My wrist ached a bit after winding it up a lot during
long practices, so frequent moderate practice is best.
But, again, it has great
presentation and comes off as strong magic. Good to use when you want the kids attention.
