Very good but needs tweaking Report this review

This is a very good effect and you can see a tremendous amount of thought went into the innovative gimmick construction. Like any new idea it takes a lot more time and work to perfect.
Here are the problems I experienced. 1-The gimmick only comes in 1 size so if you have small hands it is more difficult to work with. 2-The gimmick is not stabile enough as it tends to tilt in the box making it difficult to load as in the DVD. 3-There are a lot of items to orient i.e.. position of mints, gimmick etc. Would have been helpful a simple PDF diagram. It would have saved a lot of time skipping back to track it.
4-Much of the handling is not difficult with the exception of "advanced" section where the mint stands on edge before the spin. This will take a lot of practice for most, however if you are creative you can make the mint do many more movements so I do not see that as a problem.
Lastly the secret marking on mint is very difficult to see in dark lighting conditions so I suggest alternate methods of what to do when you cannot see the secret marking as I eventually discovered.
When these issues are corrected my review will jump up to 5 stars as its very clever and effective.
