Magic Tricks

This is clever and simple -- and, yet, at the same time, an absolute theft of whatever you pay for this.

The real problem is that you need "something extra," and you'll never guess it in a million years until you've sunk your money into this scam.

I'm all for creative marketing, and I'll accept a lot of poetic license, but this stretches beyond any level of acceptability.

For example, if I told you that you have to start wearing the hat he's wearing in the promo/ad, you might think, "What?? I'm supposed to start wearing a hat just so I can do a $%^&@^ rubber band trick?" Or, if I told you that you have to buy and wear a shirt like the one he's wearing, you might say, "That's absurd! That's great for people who wear that shirt, but why would I be expected to dress in a certain way, just so I can work with a rubber band??"

And the good news is, you don't have to start wearing his hat. Or his shirt. But you do have to dress like him, at least a little bit. I can't believe that what I've had to write here is true, but it actually is.

Shame on you, Penguin. You too, Dan.
