This is my new opener, I love this routine as it is excellent! It's visual, sets your character and
it is funny!
UNFORTUNATELY the high price is completely unjustified.
I know some
magicians hate DIY. I'm on the fence and I don't mind a little DIY. In fact, I can understand the
need for DIY in some cases; perhaps you'd need to DIY it based on your own particular preferences or
even body measurements.
However the DIY in this case is ALL the same. Anyone who performs
this would have to DIY this the SAME way anyway, so why don't A&P magic do it for you?
It's
like you buy a deck of cards and you need to construct the card case yourself.
Like,
seriously?
For those who argue that you're paying for a 'routine'...I'm sorry but what
routine? The 'routine' offered is pretty much the same 20th Century silks routine of years gone by.
It's a classic. Yes, they added the Prisoner's silk to it as a kicker plus the few lines of 'fake
explanation'. But does that warrant the $175 price tag?
For the price you pay, you'd at
least expect things to work as it should out of the box. Even the silks don't feel that high quality
unfortunately.
Sadly, this product feels like a quick cash grab by the creators. Maximizing
profits and minimizing outlay.
I wish it were different because I DO like this routine.
