I was very excited to get this item as I have seen it performed on national TV and it looks great.
It is far harder to perform than I thought. The contraption is somewhat limits your movement and you
should discard the whole apparatus once you are finished with the trick. It is suitable for the
stage but not so much for close up or strolling magicians.
It is harder to do than I thought. I
am sure that with practice, this trick would look great; however, I am not so sure that I want to
put that much time into it. Not a terrible product-not for me.
These cages made in India by Funtime Magic, Premium Magic, Essel Magic, and Uday (although I suspect they are all made by the same company and only branded differently) are all poorly made and a guarantee that no one will ever learn to perform this classic effect properly using this kind of cheap cage. In this case it is really true that you get what you pay for. Expect to pay much more for a quality cage. The Indian-made cages have rough finishing where they should be smooth, so they catch and hang up, impeding the smooth performance of the effect. The gimmick that assists in the vanishing is also poorly made. (mine broke soon after I started practicing). I gave up in frustration. (as I suspect most do). This cage is a poor copy of a cage originally made by Milson Worth Magic in the 1970's , which itself was a cage with some design flaws , which can be somewhat overcome with some modifications. But as flawed as the Milson Worth cage was, the Indian-made copies are much worse. Don't waste your money on these cheap cages, they do not work.
Disappointed
