This is complete garbage, imho. Within just a few practice pulls, paint was coming off and very
visible damage was occuring. It now looks completely fake. I tried to tell the effect's creator
about it, and he said it was normal wear, and that I could still do the trick with it. Normal to
start falling apart after no more than 3 practice uses?!?! You have got to be kidding me!
My grandpa used to warn me about the quality of things made by Taiwan...or was that IN
Taiwan...either way, this thing sucks. I even told Taiwan Ben that I figured out a way to improve
the design (for mere pennies, with an add-on part that anyone can find at home or most any store),
but he didn't even ask me how I did it. It doesn't seem like he cares about his customers or his
own products.
Another thing...the angles. There are no angles. Straight on to one
person (or a Youtube camera) or else the "gimmick" will be seen. I couldn't keep my 6 year old from
seeing it when only performed for her! Not cool.
I say stay away from this one if you want
to avoid disappointment.
