OK SO it was hard to figure out how to word it but here I go.
I ordered my from TCC, but thought
to leave a review on here as well.

All right for the
price and what you get. A solid 100%
The cups are pretty decent overall. Just some nice
Brass cups. They fit really well overall. I'll give them a 75%
The bag is shorter than the
One in TW's routine but that works in its favor as it is in a way sleeker than the longer bag he
uses. But I am not a fan of the drawstring. I'm always afraid it'll tear it if I use it.
The
original routine has a long cable on the bag so when he unravels it in a kind of flourish way, it
draws attention to it and demonstrates that the pom at the end is securely attached. This can only
be accomplished if you use the drawstring.
But again the bag was redesigned to streamline the
effect. It makes it easier to load the bag without it coming out of the sides. Which can happen with
the TW size bag.
The gimmick on the Drawstring is pretty good. I do wish it was a little
thicker tho. As it would give a better overall appearance to the audience. Because in their mind. A
thicker piece would appear harder to take a part secretly.
The Pom on the bag is not as
plush as the one that he uses but not bad overall. It can appear a bit shabby at times and you may
need to clean it up. But not bad overall.
So the bag overall I'll give it an 80%
The
poms you use in the routine, I'll give the same points as to the pom on the bag. So I'll give them a
65%
Now the instructions. This one is an issue. I know they could not secure the rights to
the L&L instructions. So they offer a lecture recording. The issue with this is that it skims over a
lot of important detail. It's taught pretty vague and not all the way through. He goes over the
steals and such but the routine you'll have to learn from studying his performance.
If you
can spring for the books of wonder (you'll thank yourself later) or the L&L videos. They will help a
lot.
So I'll give the instructions 20%
