I was teetering between four and five stars. If you read the reviews you will hear the same things.
The main issue people have are that the metal fasteners break. This is a problem, but it is one that
has really no great solution as that is a problem that the fasteners have and it is not really a
penguin issue. It would be good to have some kind of way to get more since they are pretty cheap. I
picked up a big box from Walmart, and they were a little shorter, but they do seem to hold up
slightly better.

For the review
of this trick. I saw the video, fooled me. Saw the instructions, satisfied. I think the secret is
simple enough and there are a lot of great pros to this.
1. Simple props.
2. End Clean.
3. Done in the audience's hands.
4. Just satisfying.
It comes with two sets of
cards and about five fasteners. I bought more fasteners.
The instruction is clear and
straightforward with some nice added subtleties that make this look even better.
The metal
fasteners can and probably will scratch the cards provided.
This trick honestly could be
adapted to other props too. It might make more sense to do this with what is available in your
performance space. For example, this can be done with bills, cardboard drink coasters, business
cards, regular playing cards, and pretty much anything else you can link together.
