I have gotten to know Inaki over the last few years. I have found him to be diligent, intelligent,
and hard-working. UNLIFTABLE is a great example of Inaki's qualities. The overall premise was to
take the traditional "Light & Heavy Chest" plot, update it, and apply it to a close-up environment.
This has been achieved. And with excellent results! The method couldn't be more different than the
Light & Heavy Chest, and it utilizes a card box. I don't know how Inaki (and Javier) came up with
the idea to apply this simple physical principle to this plot (and this card box!), but they did,
and we get to benefit!
The product is well-made, and assuming your spectators are not
knuckleheads intent on destroying your materials so they may make a point, the prop will last a long
time.
UNLIFTABLE requires a smooth surface -- it won't work on a close-up mat -- but that
in no way should influence your decision to purchase this cool bit of trickery. Bars and most
table-tops will work extremely well. And there are a multitude of ways to introduce an appropriate
surface if necessary (ya just gotta think a little!) Importantly too is understanding that
UNLIFTABLE is a TOOL and is best used as PART of a routine and not AS the routine itself. (Just
watch the video trailer again and you will see what I mean).
In all, I have to give
UNLIFTABLE the highest rating of 5 Stars. It checks one hundred boxes for me and has been
incorporated into my walk-around, table-hopping, and close-up repertoires.
By the way, there is a new video in the instructions related to cellophane that makes Unliftable more reliable and more reviewable. Please take a look at it, it will even improve the performance of unliftable. Thanks for your support
