Anyone got a light.....? Report this review

A nice little trick of the pub / restaurant venue, or just keep it in your pocket for when someone asks for a light. The sound of the block dropping on the table usually is what seals the deal on this trick; the most common thing I hear is “you switched boxes, because there is no way!”. Just to address some point that have been made elsewhere...
1) Requires lots of practice - Simply not true; it’s harder to deal a poker hand.
2) People figure it out right away - I’ve 100% success rate so far.
3) Not examinable - Could be a problem, but most gimmicks are; I recommending moving onto the next trick quickly.
4) Way too expensive - It is expensive, but you are getting a solid block of brass.
5) Doesn't always work. - It always works! I don’t see how it couldn’t work.
6) Gimmick can be clearly seen. - Sometimes, but if used correctly, then no problems.

Anyway, only 3 Stars;
Based on price and it’s hardly a “Lion from your ear-hole” trick.

Easy of use = Easy, almost self working
Audience “wow” factor = Low to Medium
Audience Reaction = “You switched boxes” and “let me try”.

Audience Target = Anywhere, Bar/Restaurant
Could be performed Surrounded = Absolutely
Reset Speed = 30 / 60 seconds, out of sight of people.
Examinable = Yes; but it isn’t going to take much to figure it out.
Fun to perform = It’s ok
