Magic Tricks

I'm right up the middle on this one, (it gets 3 stars for its usefulness and because 2.5 stars aren't available).

This is a good idea and an ingenious little utility. However, I have to admit that when I received it, I was quite disappointed. Not in what it was, as, (functionally speaking), I knew what it was. But I expected better construction and a more technical, longer-lasting gimmick from the gang at D'Lite. The material is good quality and comfortable, but modification on this utility item that makes it what it is and sets it apart from all others is what is disappointing. With a little ingenuity, you can probably find that there are some ways to strengthen the gimmick somewhat at home. ...It would just be nice if those were factory-installed rather than arriving the way it does.

Again, it's a wonderful, extremely useful modification of an old standard. Since I got it, I've been carrying a Flip-Tip everywhere I go, as the opportunities to use it and the applications are seemingly endless, (in fact, I ran into a friend who sells magic at a stand in a local tourist area who wanted to demonstrate a trick they sell, and didn't have a TT handy. I passed him my Flip Tip, which he used as a normal TT and when he passed it back, I produced a silk seemingly out of nowhere to deomonstrate how it could be more versatile than a normal TT. Now he's hooked.). But it's way over-priced for what you get; which I assume the bulk of the cost is in the video, and frankly, the video is just not worth the expense. Too bad D'Lite doesn't sell these in single packs and/or as pairs without the video. ...Perhaps they will some day.
