...This would be overpriced at full price but I got it on Open Box so I'm only giving it 4 stars
instead of 5. It's basically just a block of plas***c with ridg** - something you could have made
by your local workshop. But again, you're paying for the "concept" of the gimmick. In that way,
there are a ton of reviews out there with lower ratings because of the hinky move that has to be
made, but I just received it today and starting working on it right away.
It's a very
clever idea and one that I never would have come up with - because when you first try it you'll
think it will be impossible to ever get that move down. But, with dedicated practice I'm pretty
sure I can get to performance level speed.
If you prefer the sort of out-of-the-box
solutions, this effect is not for you. If you like to practice new solutions and are interested in
sleight and misdirection, then learning to use Level One for a whole series of effects is worth the
time.
Overall, I'm very glad I purchased it - whether it works its way seamlessly into my
routine is yet to be seen.
