Anyone who says this DVD/effect isn't worth it or it has angle problems should watch the DVD again.
The only way this effect won't work or fail to impress is if one isn't willing to put in the
required practice time. If you make the necessary effort and develop a good presentation, then
you'll have one of the best impromptu effects ever in my experience!
I posted a short video
in the Discussion forum of the first phase using practice straws. It was shot from a nearly
straight-on angle to show how convincing it is.
I like it so much, I'm having a set of
cigarette size polished titanium rods machined for my regular presentation.
Buy > practice
> amaze :)
