Pros:
** Creative gimmick and method extraordinarily simple and non-conspicuous and handling is
totally natural and justified
** Trailer emphasizes stand up routines, but many handling
variations are available for sit down/table routines as well (which I use, even came up with
another one!).
** Eliminates most, but not all of the ambient lighting issues of similar
methods.
** Training videos were very well done, offering multiple alternative methods and
presentations.
** No custom refills, uses regular Post-its.
Cons:
** Performer is
constrained to use the smallest of Post-it notes; very little space for spectators to draw shapes;
numbers and letters almost only choice (e.g., business cards are 2.25 times the space and the most
used size of Post-it notes are the ubiquitous 3X3 inches, or 9 square inches vs. 3 square inches of
the gimmick).
While I am sure it is most likely possible for the creators to adapt the
technique to the larger size Post-it, the method would suffer a bit and offer the performer
decreased degrees of freedom to make it work like the original.
** Like some other
reviewers, I found that the color of the gimmick (at least mine) had a green hue to it, less yellowy
than a PI note. And there was some discoloration as well that could not be cleaned with alcohol as
the creators suggested.
Bottom line, will this product replace your favorite similar
method....probably not, but its portability, simplicity and audience impact for me can make it an
everyday carry.
Just My "Point of View"
