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.
