Bought this a few weeks ago and am still trying to give it a place in my show. It looks cool in action but is not easy to "build" and draw in front of the audience. Giving it to an audience member at the end is easier. The gimmick is well build but I wish they could provide moore sticks and balloons so you can practise a lot from the start. The price is a bit high in my opinion. I had problems with the gimmick in the beginning but made some adjustments to make it open easier. Reached out to Gustavo to get help but he didn´t answer my questions. If you have a place for it I recommend it!

Yes ,i agree that easier opening of the gimmick too needed some thought , I think it’s because of the angle Could have been addressed a bit more in the instructions perhaps .

my solution was to cut out a paper tooth (2 layers thick) the same size/shape as the middle tooth, and double stick tape it on. It still looks the same, but this creates a spacer so the gimmick won't close completely and can be opened more smoothly.
