Good idea but some problems. Report this review

First I don’t think this is necessarily better than the original little hand. It’s more to mess with fellow magi me thinks.

Second: To have to essentially break/dismantle the gimmick to replace the batteries is a bit over the top considering some of the parts are extremely small and may “vanish” on you if you aren’t careful. I don’t suppose that would be a big issue but if you lose any piece of this irreducible complex gimmick it’s done for.

Third: as is written by other reviewers, you got to have small fingers to get the gimmick on or creatively modify the gimmick.

Finally the on off switch is difficult for me to activate but could probably be reconstructed to be in a better position when you “break” the gimmick to replace the batteries.

Good idea just begging to be professionally made.

40 bucks is a good price point for a well thought out gimmick but not this iteration.
