Let me just cut to the chase. This is really good. I like it a lot, but that depends on the silhouette I am using. You are getting twelve silhouettes. Three of them are normal. They are just hand holding up 1,2 or 5 fingers. They allow you to change rock into paper or scissors for (not actual rock but a "rock paper scissors" game rock) and also do the best effect in my opinion which is the one in which you hold your spectators shadow. These will work great with any phone size, but you should think about getting a flip case for your phone for all of the effects.
The second type works exactly the same as the first one but it allows you to produce shadows of objects without having these objects on you. With these you will be able to produce the following shadows: a knife, a robot, a banana a wine glass and a rose.
The last type of shadows are the manipulation type. These are the coolest ones and you can really change them and make them your own, but they are also the most complex ones. With these you will be able to produce and VANISH a card, a rose and sunglasses. But this requires a lot. Without giving to much away these silhouettes are different because they are made out of two pieces and in order for you to vanish the shadows one of the pieces need to move in and out. And in order for you to make it move you need either a small enough phone or long enough fingers. So in conclusion I think that if you want this for the manipulation thing with the card you should think about your phone size and you fingers. But if you want it for the "hding the spectators finger" one the add it to cart now.

Pros:
- Amazing effects
- examinable
- it is something really special
- works for many types of situation. Maybe not for huge stages, but anything smaller than that will be great

Cons:
- better with flip case. If you don't angles can be problematic.
- maybe not everything will work for you
- hard to learn, but honestly if that is your problem don't be a magician.

I am going to get a flip case, and will probably perform the finger freez one and the rock that turns into scissors.
