Not as good as I hoped.... Report this review

I got this awhile ago when it very first showed up on Penguin and I have to say I gave it a shot but don't really care for the effect as originally intended.

Honestly, I found the instructions to be poorly done. Not so much in content, but in the photos. They were blurry, and look static over the shoulder at a desk. I am not one to complain much about production values, but come on. At least do it a a table that looks a bit more professional. I was really bothered by that. It really makes it look thrown together and amateurish. Not what I would expect from these two fine men.

The key case I received does NOT work like it should, The Keys BARELY fit (no matter which way I put them in) and the chains are too bulky. Not only that, but one of my chains had a loose link about halfway back into the case that was a total pain to fix. Still, I wanted to try to like it, but just don't.

Truly the only thing that I really liked was the main gimmick. Mostly on the craftsmanship, But I do see some other possibilities that could be done with it. Unlike Runawayjag, I do like the thought of doing a three fly without coins. But as for using it for the original included routine this one was a bit of a fail.

Not sure if I am going to keep it or not, but I might find a better use for it.
