Small arsenal with big impacts Report this review

First, the gimmick itself is a high quality one. Each unit has been designed solely for this effect. Serving a daily regular item, this is INVISIBLE. No-one will ever guess this thing is a miracle-maker. Of course, the unit might need some little practice to make the mechanism works smoother. After a while, it will be more comfortable to use.

Second, the DVD is pretty much straight forward and complete. It shows how to take care of the unit, how to clean, replace or to operate it properly. With some great routines, they are very good starting points where you can expand and alter it into something new.

Now, the handling. It is very simple and to the point. It does require some very little practice to remove the tacky move. However, there is no sleight of hand needed, period. Once they pour out the mints, and you show to them the box is just another mint box by shaking it, it's done. It's clean and innocent.

There are people complaining about the size, the brand, the mechanism, etc. Ignore them. The size and brand? How many times we passed by shops where we found some unknown brands for mints?

Mechanism, it won't give you a hassle, especially if you follow the instructions and recommendation on the DVD. I've used this and it has great reaction and endings. There are so many different things can be done with this small arsenal.

The other good thing, the set will come with the replacement for the small parts of the gimmick. So you don't have to worry if this won't last long. It will last a lot longer than you might expected.

My suggestion, if you are into close-up, street and mentalism magic. Get this. You don't have to bring it around because you're going to perform. You can use it for everyday thing to bring mints around. Offer people some mints, and when the time is right, go with the effect.

Oh, the set-up and reset is basically very simple and quick. Just remember to keep the hygiene level because that's what we expect other people to do us as well.

Get this, you won't regret it. This has gone to my everyday effect. Waiting in my pocket or my table for small miracles that other people don't expect to see.

The reason I gave this a 4 stars is because the unit needs to be used for practicing before the mechanism works smoother. It doesn't mean it is not working. It is working but with more action-time, it will be just smooth. Imagine when you buy a pair of shoes. First few days, it is kinda tacky, but after that, it will just be more comfortable for you.
