I bought two Covert Reels because of the great reviews I have seen posted on Penguin Magic. I am a
long time customer and semi Pro performer. When I received the reels ,one of them immediately broke
when I pulled on the thread. The band in the reel just broke and I had only pulled the thread out a
couple of inches! The second reel works, but is excessively loud and makes a squeaking noise. I
own two sorcery IT reels, both work smoothly with very little noise. I sometimes volunteer at our
children’s hospital as an entertainer and the excessive noise of the Covert Reel will be way too
noticeable for me to be able to use it there. I have since thrown both reels away. 😞
