is this expensive? Yes. And if you are a diligent student of Mentalism and Banachek in particular,
could you make one yourself? Yes. But let me tell you, this tool is pure class...professionally made
to perfection and arouses absolutely NO suspicion because of it's normal look and feel...I
personally but it my volunteers hands as often as possible...& no one is ever the wiser...I actually
have a hard time telling there is "anything" there myself!!! If you enjoy a good Q&A, you will be in
LOVE with this the minute you pick it up!!! It looks and feels fantastic and will bring you an
incredible sense of security in performing...The price is not for lightweights...but if you are a
serious worker, this is for you....(I do have to say that the carry case fell apart within
days...but on that note, if anything happens to the pad itself, there is a "gaurantee" offered by
Banachek.)
